Wyclef Jean Paper Right Lyrics
[Chorus: Wyclef Jean & Flau'jae]
Drinks on me, got my paper right (Yeah)
You can hustle too, get your paper right (Yeah)
Long before that diamond, I was in the dark (Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
Graveyard shift, had to double up
[Post-Chorus: Flau'jae, Wyclef Jean, Flau'jae & Wyclef Jean, Lola Brooke]
Now that she sun is shinin', shinin' on me
Everything is up (Everything), everything is up (Everything)
Went from the housing projects, projects, yeah (Yeah)
Now the real estate is up (Yeah, it's up, now we up)
Everything is up (Everything is up, everything)
Mm-hmm
[Verse 1: Lola Brooke]
Team 80 gon' save the game, fulfillin' aches and pain
I'm just comin' off of Section 8, it cut deeper than a razor blade
They let me hang for days, you know it's up 'cause I saved the date (Uh-huh)
Financial freedom is so fulfillin' (Frrt)
Generational wealth is what you show the children (Frrt)
I'm in my righteous rhythm, from commentin', I got the right to pin 'em (I got the right to, uh)
But let's focus on the wins, I'm tryna flourish from the flaws
My moms told me that I'm bigger than 'em all, so I took her to the mall
Told her pick up the first thing she saw
I ain't forget, I still gotta change the addy on your door
I got love for the pink and red ribbons (Huh)
Blessed to have health and I'm livin' (Yeah)
And take it personal how they did me (Nah, haha)
I can't forget it, I believe in God, my whole life was written

[Chorus: Wyclef Jean & Flau'jae]
Drinks on me, got my paper right (Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
You can hustle too, get your paper right (Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
Long before that diamond, I was in the dark (Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
Graveyard shift, had to double up
[Verse 2: Pusha T]
Stood tall on 'em corners
Old ladies warned us, so they ain't have to mourn us
Street lords said, "join us"
You could turn a brick to a Bimmer, here some pointers
Nowadays, I'm ignorin' 'em
Rather build a legacy for my son, that's important for him
Real estate just rewardin' him
Generational wealth, when I'm gone, he's still flourishin'
Everybody ain't applaudin' him
And the money that he stack is every barbershop's argument
My elevator's up, pardon him
When your name ring they start double-edge swordin' him
I don't do much bargaining, so I keep a side hustle for the goals that I'm targetin' (Push)
[Chorus: Wyclef Jean & Flau'jae]
Drinks on me, got my paper right (Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
You can hustle too, get your paper right (Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
Long before that diamond, I was in the dark (Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
Graveyard shift, had to double up
[Verse 3: Flau'jae]
Look, I had to get my paper tight, mama need an acre, right
I been workin' 24/7, like I can't waste a night
Warrior, I'm battlin' problems that I can't wait to fight
And the cards that they dealt her, got her takin' flight (Woo)
Modest, I can tell, I keep it real and prevail
And when I had to go fail, they know that I'm rich as hell
Shot callers, this legit, I be knowin' just what to sell
Doin' it for my kids, kids, generational wealth
And lil' ol' me just found a seat with all of the greats
I'm investin' in myself, so it ain't hard to relate
I been a lion, out the jungle, the lightning, that's in the thunder
Inspired the ones that's younger, was tired of bein' under
Yeah, shifts at the graveyard, spend, but I save hard
Porsche is my play car, all of it paid off
[Bridge: Capella Grey]
Everything is up, movin' for us
And my business in order, money stackin' taller
Now Forbes wanna report us
No matter what we do, they gon' wan' speak
But they what they gon' do 'bout we?
Oh, we the vibe in the city, oh
[Outro: Wyclef Jean]
Drinks on me, got my paper right, got my paper right
Drinks on me, got my paper right, got my paper right
Drinks on me, got my paper right
