DJ Premier - Me or the Papes lyrics

[Intro] Party people, in the place to be From the same man, who brought you Da Bichez (Da Bichez, Da Bichez, Da Bichez) We were misunderstood, last time we brought you Da Bichez (Da Bichez Da Bichez) Now we gonna clear it up and let you make up your own mind Like this... [Verse 1] Now a queen's a queen, and a who*e is a who*e She felt if she made me wait I'd have more respect for her Adore her, eventually spendin up my digits She felt that love would make me buy her mad material sh** She likes to trick em, cause ain't nothin like a sleepin victim East New York style stick em -- ha ha ha, stick em Top rated game, but if it's game I played it Underestimated, swore the king was checkmated She claims she loves my mind, cause I'm so intelligent But f** my mental, she was scheming on my mint Evil inten-tion, to de-plenish the fund She tried to jux me with the p**y cept for, the mask and gun I was a fool to fall in lust with this evil ge-nius She had me by the nuts She ain't got sh** but man she loves it plush Whippin I whip, and s**in up I canibus Back in the days, I woulda scraped her for this caper But I realize, it wasn't me it was the paper [Verse 2] Let me kick it, about the digits, that I've collected Long distance, and disconnected, it's gettin hectic Before my record, they didn't show it But now they throw it, hopin that they'll get drunk off Moet Or Cristal, but that's not my par-ticular style and taste My name ain't herb and I ain't got loot to waste I ain't got time to waste, bad b**hes is all up in my face Crazy ignorant, sweatin links minks and sh** Cosmetic, but deep down, derelict Fake players, never get out the projects It's pathetic -- the way she bends for dividends I tried to j**el her but she tried to get a drink at the end Of our con-vo-sation, I did not have the patience Slid off to the next Asian She said, "What you do?" I said, "What?" She said, "You know your occuptation?" So I broke the f** out In nineteen-ninety-six that's what it's all about, but I won't go that route Back in the days Biz said it was The Vapors But today, I realize that it's the papers "Cause ain't no fiends comin in between me and my dreams See what I mean black, I" -- "gets the paper" (repeat 3X) [Verse 3] Now a who*e's a who*e, find a queen and she'll be my Earth Respect love and protect her, for all that it's worth I admit I have flaws, I flips it first, but deep down I wishes to give em the universe A lot of the ones that I thought was right wasn't I build with Afu, he said "Don't sweat it cause they come a dime a dozen" Like my ex-stunt, wanted a diamond b**hes love power, while queens, love refinement Low stress environment, old age and retirement Never have to wonder where my money went Where my honey went, is her back gettin twisted By the next fella, always take heed to what I tell her When I'm wrong, she lets me know I need correction When I'm right she's my reflection still we, use protection Through thick and thin, thin and thick She's my diamond in the rough not a who*e or a trick Great expectations, of me and she buildin nation Everything we do and skyscrapin Back in the days, the devil used to rape her Nowadays, he got her chasin the paper "Cause ain't no fiends comin in between me and my dreams See what I mean black, I" -- "gets the paper" (repeat 4X)
