Makin' Papers

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]

In a whip that you’ve never seen before

Never blipped on your radar screen before

You’re doing what I was doing when I did it a couple magazines ago

That means if you LeBron, I was doing that Kareems ago

Abdul-Jabbar, the coolest are light years ahead and 15 below

How high I am and cold I is is the words that I just spoke, I did

I hope I did, cause sometimes I forget how much of a GOAT I is

Not a measuring of how dope I did – not an athlete, but the black sheep

I just rap shit – I focus so hard last time I blinked I broke my lids

That was kind of weak (that was kind of weak)

But what you expect when I get no sleep?

I’m my own worst critic, most times we split it

But we see eye-to-eye on how well we speak

Perfect verses

Better yet, letters get together, graduations and auctions

Bad at lying, but I speak that well

Also awesome and talkin’ to dolphins…

[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]

Sorry I couldn’t be there, but I’m back up in the lab

So just find somebody pretty to accept on my behalf

Sorry I couldn’t be there, but I’m back up in the lab

Makin’ papers, making paper front pages and the stash…

Makin’ papers, makin’ papers, makin’ papers and a stash

Makin’ papers, makin’ papers, makin’ papers and a stash

Makin’ papers, making paper front pages and the stash…

Why im grizzly on my grizzly making All my haters mad(stash)…

[Verse 2: Snow Tha Product]

Look, I’m steppin’ out of that all-black whip lookin’ like death and shit

I’ll spring forward, hoes fall back, I’ll turn ‘em down like a pessimist

And I’m at their head like a ball cap, at their neck like a necklace is

So it’s best to quit, ’cause my record spin, and keep gettin’ replayed like the record skipped

Killin’ game and whores alike, swagged out in my Jordan Flights

Hoes act like I won’t toe-tag ‘em, I’ve got hoes gassed like a motorbike

Snow White, what more to like? Y’all luck ran out, don’t roll the dice

Snow Tha Product’ll make you aligned

‘Cause you messin’ with me you was born to die

Killin’ game and whores alike, swagged out in my Jordan Flights

Hoes act like I won’t toe-tag ‘em, I’ve got hoes gassed like a motorbike

Motorbike, motorbike, motorbike, motorbike…

Got hoes gassed like a motorbike

Sorry I couldn’t be there, but I’m back up in the lab

So just find somebody pretty to accept on my behalf

Sorry I couldn’t be there, but I’m back up in the lab

Makin’ papers, making paper front pages and the stash…

Makin’ papers, makin’ papers, makin’ papers and a stash

Makin’ papers, makin’ papers, makin’ papers and a stash

Makin’ papers, making paper front pages and the stash…

Why im grizzly on my grizzly making All my haters mad(stash)…

[Verse 3: Too $hort]

I wanna celebrate this, ’cause some of y'all ain’t gon’ never make it

I appreciate it, thanks… but I think she hates it

I don’t wanna hit it, girl – in the hotel room lickin’ pearl

I say “fuck the world” – make me mad, I’ll fuck your girl

No disrespect, you think I just wanna hit that shit?

I’m makin’ history – the truth: you can’t take it, bitch

I’m playin’ on the station, like your ass, I’m in rotation

Winnin’, but there’s no sensation – shoot it on her face then

What’d I win, what it do? I’ll get it later, mail it to me

I’m gettin’ higher – if it’s money, send a wire

I do this daily, she know she gots to pay me

I never lose in the end, don’t give a fuck when I win, bitch!

Makin’ papers, making paper front pages and the stash…

Makin’ papers, makin’ papers, makin’ papers and a stash

Makin’ papers, makin’ papers, makin’ papers and a stash

Makin’ papers, making paper front pages and the stash

Well I feel I keep it way too real, even when I pretend, when!
