Paper Gangsta
Lady Gaga Lyrics

Midnight rush, with a pen in my hand Inkin' Lincoln, sanskrit with a fan Rememberin' me, before we began Sometimes I felt so Def in the Jam
I'm working hard at night with a pen in my hand, writing like Lincoln with the help of a fan. Remembering my past before I started, sometimes I felt out of place like I couldn't keep up with the beat.

But the ones who loved me, told me to stop Like, "Homegirl can't catch shit if it drop" A superwoman chick, you know that I am Some shit don't fly by me in a man
My loved ones told me to slow down and not let myself get too caught up in everything. They know I'm a strong woman who won't let things fly by me easily.

'Cause I do not accept any less Than someone just as real, as fabulous
I won't settle for anything less than someone who is just as real and fabulous as I am.

Don't want no paper gangsta Won't sign away my life to Someone who's got the flavor But don't have no follow through Don't want no paper gangsta Won't sign no monkey papers I don't do funny business Not interested in fakers
I won't be with someone who talks a big game but can't follow through with their promises. I won't sign any contracts that they want me to sign either, no matter how flavorful they make it sound. I don't want to do any shady business with fakers.

Got something really shiny to start Want me to sign there on your Range Rover heart I've heard it before Yeah, the dinners were nice 'Til your diamond words melted into some ice
You're trying to impress me with your shiny things and want me to commit to you, but I've heard this before. You wooed me with nice dinners until your sweet words turned cold and melted away like ice.

You shoulda been rappin' to the beat of my song Mr. Californ-ia, paper ganster-a I'm lookin' for love, not an empty page Full of stuff that means nothin' but "you've been played"
You should have been more focused on showing me your love instead of being an imaginary gangster from California. I'm searching for something real, not an empty promise filled with lies.

Don't want no paper gangsta Won't sign away my life to Someone who's got the flavor But have no follow through Don't want no paper gangsta Won't sign no monkey papers I don't do funny business Not interested in fakers
I won't be with someone who talks a big game but can't follow through with their promises. I won't sign any contracts that they want me to sign either, no matter how flavorful they make it sound. I don't want to do any shady business with fakers.

Don't want no paper gangsta Oh-oh Don't want no paper gangsta Oh-oh Don't want no paper gangsta Don't want no paper gangsta
I keep repeating that I don't want any paper gangsters because I'm tired of people trying to deceive me with their promises and fake personas.

Don't want no paper gangsta Won't sign away my life to Someone who's got the flavor But don't have no follow through Don't want no paper gangsta Won't sign no monkey papers I don't do funny business Not interested in fakers
I won't be with someone who talks a big game but can't follow through with their promises. I won't sign any contracts that they want me to sign either, no matter how flavorful they make it sound. I don't want to do any shady business with fakers.

Don't want no paper gangsta Won't sign away my life to Someone who's got the flavor But don't have no follow through Don't want no paper gangsta Won't sign no monkey papers I don't do funny business Not interested in fakers
I won't be with someone who talks a big game but can't follow through with their promises. I won't sign any contracts that they want me to sign either, no matter how flavorful they make it sound. I don't want to do any shady business with fakers.

Don't want no paper gangsta Oh-oh Don't want no paper gangsta Oh-oh Don't want no paper gangsta Don't want no paper gangsta Don't want no paper gangsta Don't want no paper gangsta
I keep repeating that I don't want any paper gangsters because I'm tired of people trying to deceive me with their promises and fake personas.
