"Paper Gangsta" Midnight rush, with a pen in my hand Inkin' Lincoln, sand-script with a fan Remembering me, before it began Sometimes I felt so Def in the Jam But the ones who loved me, told me to stop Like homegirl can't catch shit if it drops A superwoman chick, you know that I am Some shit don't fly by me in a man Cuz I do not accept any less Than someone just as real, as fabulous [Chorus:] Don't want no PAPER GANGSTA Won't sign away my life to Someone whose got the flavor But don't have no follow through Don't want no PAPER GANGSTA Wont sign no monkey papers I don't do funny business Not interested in fakers Don't want no PAPER GANGSTA Uh oh Don't want no PAPER GANGSTA Uh oh 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 Till your diamond words melted into some ice You should been rapping to the beat of my song Mr. California PAPER GANGSTA and I'm lookin' for love Not an empty page full of stuff that means nothing but "You've been played" Cuz I do not accept any less Than someone just as real, as fabulous [Chorus x2] Writer(s): Stefani Germanotta, Nadir Khayat
Relistened to this song for the first time in like 10 years. It has an amazing instrumental!
I made this my alarm clock 🥶
"Paper Gangsta"
Midnight rush, with a pen in my hand
Inkin' Lincoln, sand-script with a fan
Remembering me, before it began
Sometimes I felt so Def in the Jam
But the ones who loved me, told me to stop
Like homegirl can't catch shit if it drops
A superwoman chick, you know that I am
Some shit don't fly by me in a man
Cuz I do not accept any less
Than someone just as real, as fabulous
[Chorus:]
Don't want no PAPER GANGSTA
Won't sign away my life to
Someone whose got the flavor
But don't have no follow through
Don't want no PAPER GANGSTA
Wont sign no monkey papers
I don't do funny business
Not interested in fakers
Don't want no PAPER GANGSTA
Uh oh
Don't want no PAPER GANGSTA
Uh oh
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
Till your diamond words melted into some ice
You should been rapping to the beat of my song Mr. California
PAPER GANGSTA and I'm lookin' for love
Not an empty page full of stuff that means nothing but
"You've been played"
Cuz I do not accept any less
Than someone just as real, as fabulous
[Chorus x2]

when i was younger i though this was made by timbaland
Timbaland-esque, I prolly would’ve too if I’d known who tim was as a kid
It's very evocative of his work.
this is when she said "i mean business"
