T.I. - Paperwork lyrics

[Hook: Pharrell] (Paperwork) Don't do no business until you check his (paperwork) And if all else fails, I just hope that this (paperwork) (?) through the roof Everything got a cost, they gone need something on you (Paperwork) [Verse 1: TI] 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 (?) 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 ask? When you grow up big kid? I just wanna be like you, ridin' round town gettin' bread We shot a couple Lac, couple summer pa**, 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 [Hook: Pharrell] [Verse 2: TI] Picture me in '93, I'm the only man I see Fresh up off the porch looking for the drop Porsche and the fake I'd 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 [Bridge: TI] Time on my side, lift.45 in my jean Open fire if you seem to be blocking my dreams, yessir [Verse 3: TI] Welfare, food stamps, section eight, me and Ma lived in the trap I said f** school, it holdin' me back I wanna bankroll, chasin' after that [Hook: Pharrell] [Verse 4: TI] Look at me at 17, livin' on my own, peddlin' quarter key Now and then sellin' weed, tokin' too, cost my first felony That's (?) 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 Pay to have a story like mine Not many you had a little nine Not many and you did a little dirt Too many did a little time Wake up, 10 years of your life pa** when you get your cake up Don't it seem like (?) when the Feds on your a** Pa**in' out [Hook: Pharrell] [Verse 5: Pharrell] 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 (?) it's too late for that Cause they got [Bridge: TI] [Hook: Pharrell] The two southern legends team up as TI talks about his life growing up over Pharrell's beat.
