Gettin' Paper

[Verse] Back alleys, check the shadows, move in stealth mode Swishin' through danger, no safety code Streetlights dim, castin' silhouettes of my soul Got the weight of the world, pockets full of gold [Verse 2] Vacant lots, rusted fences, tales untold Dodgin' 5-0, makin' moves, tenacious and bold The city's heartbeat, drummers spinnin’ records cold Stayed hustlin', stackin', survival on fold [Chorus] Chasin’ dreams, through the grind and grime Ain’t facin' defeat, life's a rugged climb Money in my sights, night turn to prime time Gettin' paper, no retreat, in the city crime [Verse 3] Smoke-filled rooms, deals sealed in the split Hands dirty, profits surged, legacy lit Scorned by the system, rebel spirit won’t quit Kings and pawns, movin' sharp like a wit [Verse 4] Turn the corner, elevate, hold my fate Past haunts, future flaunts, missions create Haters wanna peep, but they just second rate Gettin' ours, rain or shine, open the floodgate [Bridge] Street's a jungle, beast within, roarin' loud Every move, shadowed, in the misty crowd Temptation calls, relentless and proud Focus steady, clutch time, make mama proud
