(Intro)
Ladies and gentlemen
The secret word is 'paper’
P-A-P-E-R
Really?
You bet your life!
(Hook)
I made more money off a hobby than a job could ever pay me
But my boss think I'm lazy
And my mama think I'm crazy
She say I need to stop smokin’ weed, she pulpittin'
Talkin' bout how a nigga been bullshittin'
They know not of what they speak, they cannot understand
They never danced with The Allure
Yeah, yeah, they missed The Allure
Yeah, they saved up, I cashed out, that shit's cold
By the time they cop it, that shit's old
They know not of what they speak, they cannot understand
They never danced with The Allure
Yeah, yeah, they missed The Allure yeah
(Verse)
Money was sprawled on the table
I'm elated with how quick I got it
A belated birthday how I saw it
Justify it with some type of logic
Just defy all the laws and the coppers
Just deny any petty involvement
Just define the rules of engagement
We can get this paper, this could be amazing
I done found myself in different places
Palms sweatin', heart racin’
I don’t know how my day gone end
I just don't know how my day gone end
But it’s cool, Imma play it off
Now will these moves ever pay at all
It ain't no room for mistakes at all
And ain't no room for a snake at all
No jealousy, envy, I found my Rico
I'm only surrounded with grounded people
Pull up smellin’ like a pound of reefer
It's really this money that got me geeked up
It's really this money that got me geeked up
Pull strings like bass players
Proving wrong all the naysayers
Real nigga Imma stay player from the .mp3 until the tape player
Everybody gone know my name while you hate the player that gave you game
Get ya check up like a doctor visit
It really pays to be optimistic
In this game we makin' smart decisions
If you playin' pussy get an obstetrician
(Hook)
I made more money off a hobby than a job could ever pay me
But my boss think I'm lazy
And my mama think I'm crazy
She say I need to stop smokin' weed, she pulpittin'
Talkin' bout how a nigga been bullshittin'
They know not of what they speak, they cannot understand
They never danced with The Allure
Yeah, yeah, they missed The Allure
Yeah, they saved up, I cashed out, that shit's cold
By the time they cop it, that shit's old
They know not of what they speak, they cannot understand
They never danced with The Allure
Yeah, yeah, they missed The Allure yeah
(Verse)
Uh, now let's put the hook in perspective
Let's get the dots connected
I put it on both of my necklace
That you gonna have to respect this
But what a job paid me for 14 days, I can get for one night on the stage
I can get from off a table of merch, half an hour's like a week of work
Sacrifices on sacrifices with enough money just to pacify us
Just enough to do it all again while the CEOs get to ball again
Tried to join 'em when he couldn't beat 'em
Attitude still undefeated
Just another mistake repeated
Though the prideful feeling is only fleeting
I'm sure it's mainly cause I know I need it
The Allure got my fingers itchin'
Cookin' dope and I ain't in the kitchen
I'm in the yo baby water whippin'
Hit the block and see the fiends listen
Get the vision then get back to mission
Hit the jeweler see them diamonds glisten
Wind up missin' touchin' my commission
My life changed over one decision
Your life stagnant cause of no reaction
Even that won't last long
Bump it up, gotta go proactive
Pick up truck it was automatic
Copped the bimmer, I was so ecstatic
Wrecked that, now I'm in a Lexus
It's my mom's, I can't flex it
(Hook)
I made more money off a hobby than a job could ever pay me
But my boss think I'm lazy
And my mama think I'm crazy
She say I need to stop smokin' weed, she pulpittin'
Talkin' bout how a nigga been bullshittin'
They know not of what they speak, they cannot understand
They never danced with The Allure
Yeah, yeah, they missed The Allure
