T.I. - Paperwork (Feat. Pharrell)

Don't do no business
until you check his
And if all else fails
I just hope that this
Wanna swing Bentley doors
blow smoke through the roof
Everything got a cost
they gone need something on you
ATL Westside
that's the only home I know
In '85 me and Uncle Quint
used to ride around in the
big Bronco
Took me up to Charles' Disco
Daytime set me down at the bar
Where I drank Shirley Temple
'Til he walked out with a bag
and we got back in the car
What you wanna be he asked
When you grow up big kid
I just wanna be like you
ridin' round town gettin' bread
We shot a couple Lac
couple summer pass
Uncle Quint
ain't nowhere to be found
Later we learn
that someone ratted him out
For that reason 10 years
he won't be around
Don't do no business
until you check his
And if all else fails
I just hope that this
Wanna swing Bentley doors
blow smoke through the roof
Everything got a cost
they gone need something on you
Picture me in '93
I'm the only man I see
Fresh up off the porch
Lookin' for a drop
Porsche and a fake ID
Introduce me to the crack game
Rap game was the furthest
from my mind
Had a notebook full of rhymes
And a pocket full of crack
rock dimes
Time on my side lift
45 in my jeans
Open fire if you seem to be
blocking my dreams yessir
Welfare food stamps
Section eight
me and Ma lived in the trap
I said fuck school
it holdin' me back
I wanna bankroll
chasin' after that
Don't do no business
until you check his
And if all else fails
I just hope that this
Wanna swing Bentley doors
blow smoke through the roof
Everything got a cost
they gone need something on you
Look at me at 17
Livin' on my own peddlin'
Quarter ki
now and then sellin' weed
Tokin' too cost my first felony
That's one of many
that were to follow
Drinkin' Henney up out the bottle
Told a child
I think I'm bein' followed
Family don't think
I'll live to see tomorrow
Plenty have a story like mine
Know many of you had a little nine
Know many of you did a little dirt
Too many of us did a little time
Wake up
10 years of your life passed
When you get your cake up
Don't it seem like that
When the Feds on your ass
passin' out
Don't do no business
until you check his
And if all else fails
I just hope that this
Wanna swing Bentley doors
blow smoke through the roof
Everything got a cost
they gone need something on you
If you think that you high
baby look above you
It's drones in the sky
there's nothing you could do
So left two three snap
Right two three snap
Don't get serious now
it's too late for that
Cause they got
Time on my side lift
45 in my jean
Open fire if you seem to be
blocking my dreams yessir
Don't do no business
until you check his
And if all else fails
I just hope that this
Wanna swing Bentley doors
blow smoke through the roof
Everything got a cost
they gone need something on you
Don't do no business
