Paper Up

[Planet Asia] Yeah Ye-ye-ye-yeah, ye-ye, ye-yeah Ah one two [Repeat 4X] La la la la la LAH, la la-lah [verse One] I was chillin on the corner, just me and my fam And everybody had at least a G in they hand That's when one of my brothers came with this master plan He told me, "As' - no more sellin this hand to hand You got talent then you should use it don't waste it man There comes a time in your life one must take a stand" I looked at him and said, "You got me mistaken man It'll all come in time, just be patient man," but [Chorus: repeat 2X] My peoples gotta get they paper up Cause nowadays these streets ain't safe for us How many more lives they gon' take from us This life will make you crazy like angel dust [Verse Two] I wrote this for my peoples who stay on the grind The Lord might not come when you call but he's always on time Like this friend of mine I know who was left behind Had no one to care so therefore it vexed his mind But then he transformed his energy, utilized his strength And took it as a blessing as a part of his identity No need for worry just keep your pride Crooked cops on the block with the piece inside, but [Chorus] [Asia] Now everybody sing it! [Repeat 4X w/ ad libs] La la la la la LAH, la la-lah [Verse Three] If you ain't got no dough, get your paper up All the mothers on the Earth, just pray for us It will be many more lives that they take from us But in the end there really ain't no escapin us I used to think that I would end up paperless' 'Til the homies in the hood started cakin up But I'm an artist, no not as in paintin brush But a hustler's theme song, your favorite stuff [Chorus] [Asia] Now everybody sing it! [Repeat 8X w/ ad libs] La la la la la LAH, la la-lah [Planet Asia] C'mon Kutmasta Kurt, Planet Asia, G.C.M C. Ayyyy! {?}
