Paperwork - T.I., Pharrell Williams

Wanna swing Bentley doors, blow smoke through the roof

Everything got a cost, they gon' need something on you

(Paperwork)

ATL, Westside, that’s the only home I know

In '85, me and Uncle Quint used to ride around in the big Bronco

Took me up to Charles' Disco, daytime, set me down at the bar

Where I drank Shirley Temple

'Til he walked out with a bag and we got back in the car

«What you wanna be?»

he asked «When you grow up big head?»

I just wanna be like you, ridin' round town gettin' bread

We shared a couple laughs, couple summer pass

Uncle Quint ain’t nowhere to be found

Later we learn that someone ratted him out

For that reason 10 years he won’t be around

Picture me, in '93, I’m the only man I see

Fresh up off the porch

Lookin' for a drop Porsche and a fake ID

Introduce me to the crack game

Rap game was the furthest from my mind

Had a notebook full of rhymes

And a pocket full of crack rock dimes

Time on my side, lil .45 in my jeans

Open fire if you seem to be blocking my dreams, yessir

Welfare, food stamps

Section eight, me and Ma lived in the trap

I said fuck school, it holdin' me back

I wanna bankroll, chasin' after that

Look at me, at 17, livin' on my own, peddlin'

Quarter ki, now and then sellin' weed

Totin' tools, caughtt my first felony

That’s one of many, that were to follow

Drinkin' Henney up out the bottle

Tote a choppa I think I’m bein' followed

Family don’t think I’ll live to see tomorrow

Plenty have a story like mine

Know many of you had a little nine

Know many of you did a little dirt

Too many of us did a little time

Wake up, 10 years of your life passed

When you get your cake up

Don’t it seem lil' odd when the Feds on your ass passin' out?

If you think that you high, baby look above you

It’s drones in the sky, there’s nothing you could do

So left, two, three snap

Right two, three snap

Don’t get serious now it’s too late for that

Cause they got

Time on my side, lil .45 in my jeans

Open fire if you seem to be blocking my dreams, yessir
