Midnight rush with a pen in my hand.
Dinkin, linking, sanscript with a fan.
Remembering me before we began.
Sometimes I feel so def in the jam.
But the ones who loved me told me to stop.
Like homegirl cant catch shit if it drop.
A superwoman chick you know that I am.
Some shit dont fly by me and the man.

'Cos I do not accept any less than someone.
Just as real, as fabulous.

Don't want no paper gangsta.
Won't sign away my life to.
Someone who's got the flavor.
But don't got 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.
Don't want no paper gangsta.

Oh Ohhh
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Oh Ohhh
Don't want no paper gangsta.

Got something so 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 have been rapping to the beat of my song
Mr. California paper gangsta raw.
I'm looking for love, not an empty page.
Full of stuff that means nothing but you been played.

'Cos I do not accept any less than someone.
Just as real, as fabulous.

Don't want no paper gangsta.
Won't sign away my life to.
Someone who's got the flavor.
But don't got 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.
Don't want no paper gangsta.

Oh Ohhh
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Oh Ohhh
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Don't want no paper gangsta.

Don't want no paper gangsta.
Won't sign away my life to.
Someone who's got the flavor.
But don't got 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.
Don't want no paper gangsta.

Don't want no paper gangsta.
Won't sign away my life to.
Someone who's got the flavor.
But don't got 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.
Don't want no paper gangsta.

Oh Ohhh
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Oh Ohhh
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Don't want no paper gangsta.
