Nino - Paperchasin Lyrics

You know, you gotta get this money
You know it can't be handed to you
I did come here for the 808
You can get it all
You can stunt and ball
And that's for real, bruh
Uh-uh
Stay on your grind
In due time
Yeah, that's for real
I'm on a money-making mission, man, I gots to get paid
Been had that thought when I was little with the fade
In these city streets, you know you gotta have it made
I was hustlin' to get out the Mo or the Brae
It was me and my niggas tryna get a way out
Gotta pay all these bills but our pockets in the drought
Back then, I really didn't know what grindin' was about
All I know is that my mama wanted me to get out
Now I'm gone, on a paper chase
Treat it like a marathon, not a f*ckin' race
Culinary, art school, gettin' to this cake
Nobody ain't savin' me, so why should I wait
The game is designed just to make a nigga break
So I'ma move smarter just to show that I'm great
People gonna be them, real or even fake
So a nigga ain't blind, y'all get out my way
I'm on a paper chase, so get out the way
On the damn grind, goin' gettin' every day
I'm on a paper chase, get out the way
Gonna turn up, get lit, and parlay
I'm on a paper chase, so get out the way
Can't play with time, so why should I play
I'm on a paper chase, so get out the way
Can't wait tomorrow, so I get in today
Inflation on the rise, time to get on the grind
It might seem unfair, but I gotta get mine
Oh, look at the time, it's time to get the bag
Runnin' to the money, you just sittin' lookin' bad
I can't do that, gotta be in the position
To be in the house, livin' good with my children
It might seem lame, but look, you gotta listen
Havin' all your own ain't no better feelin
You gotta be a boss, but sometimes it pays the cost
Gotta make a sacrifice that'll pay off
Want to be in a Maybach like Rick Ross
But you gotta take the pain when you gotta take a loss
Mind of a genius, heart of a lion
To be on that next level, gotta keep applyin
I see you doin' your thing, I see that you tryin
Just keep on movin', don't stop all that grindin
I'm on a paper chase, so get out the way
On the damn grind, goin' gettin' every day
I'm on a paper chase, get out the way
Gonna turn up, get lit and parlay
I'm on a paper chase, so get out the way
Can't play with time, so why should I play
I'm on a paper chase, get out the way
Can't wait tomorrow, so I get in today
