A#m
Midnight rush, with a pen in my hand
  F#
Inkin' Lincoln, sanskrit with a fan
  G#
Rememberin' me, before we began
    Fm7
Sometimes I felt so Def in the Jam
        A#m
But the ones who loved me, told me to stop
        F#
Like, "Homegirl can't catch shit if it drop"
   G#
A superwoman chick, you know that I am
      Fm7
Some shit don't fly by me in a man

       A#m        F#
'Cause I do not accept any less
              G#               Fm7
Than someone just as real, as fabulous

Chorus:
                    A#m
Don't want no paper gangsta
                   F#
Won't sign away my life to
                        G#
Someone who's got the flavor
                  Fm7
But don't have no follow through
                    A#m
Don't want no paper gangsta
                     F#
Won't sign no monkey papers
                   G#
I don't do funny business
                  Fm7
Not interested in fakers
                     A#m
Don't want any paper gangsta
    F#
Oh-oh
                     G#
Don't want no paper gangsta

Oh-oh

Don't want no paper gangsta
                     G#    Fm7
Don't want no paper gangsta

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
'Til your diamond words melted into some ice
You shoulda been rappin' to the beat of my song
Mr. California, paper ganster-a
I'm lookin' for love, not an empty page
Full of stuff that means nothin' but "you’ve been played"

'Cause I do not accept any less
Than someone just as real, as fabulous

Chorus

Chorus:
Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign away my life to
Someone who's got the flavor
But don't have 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
Won't sign away my life to
Someone who's got the flavor
But don't have 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-oh
Don't want no paper gangsta
Oh-oh
Don't want no paper gangsta
Don't want no paper gangsta
Don't want no paper gangsta
Don't want no paper gangsta
