Jeru the Damaja - Me Or The Papes(1996)

[00:00.48] Party people in the place to be
[00:04.95] From the same man who brought you Da Bichez
[00:09.41] Da Bichez, Da Bichez, Da Bichez
[00:11.23] We were misunderstood last time we brought you
[00:14.01] Ba Bichez, Da Bichez, Da Bichez
[00:16.48] Now we gonna clear it up and let you make up your own mind
[00:20.59] Like this
[00:23.39] Now a queen's a queen and a whore is a whore
[00:24.89] She felt if she made me wait I'd have more respect for her
[00:27.52] Adore her eventually spendin' up my digits
[00:30.23] She felt that love would make me buy her mad material shit
[00:32.98] She likes to trick 'em, 'cause ain't nothin' like a sleepin' victim
[00:35.65] East New York style stick 'em ha ha ha, stick 'em
[00:38.34] Top rated game but if it's game I played it
[00:41.00] Underestimated, swore the king was checkmated
[00:44.69] She claims she loves my mind, 'cause I'm so intelligent
[00:47.42] But fuck my mental, she was scheming on my mint
[00:50.18] Evil intention, to deplenish the fund
[00:52.85] She tried to juice me with the pussy 'cept for, the mask and gun
[00:55.52] I was a fool to fall in lust with this evil genius, she had me by the nuts
[01:00.91] She ain't got shit but man she loves it plush
[01:03.62] Whippin' I whip, and suckin' up I canibus
[01:06.40] Back in the days, I woulda scraped her for this caper
[01:09.07] But I realize, it wasn't me it was the paper
[01:12.65] Let me kick it, about the digits, that I've collected
[01:17.41]
[01:20.74] Long distance, and disconnected, it's gettin' hectic
[01:23.41] Before my record, they didn't show it
[01:26.25] But now they throw it, hopin' that they'll get drunk off Moet or Cristal
[01:29.80] But that's not my particular style and taste
[01:32.58] My name ain't Puff and I ain't got loot to waste
[01:34.36] I ain't got time to waste, bad bitches is all up in my face
[01:37.98] Crazy ignorant, sweatin' links minks and shit
[01:40.64] Cosmetic but deep down, derelict
[01:43.38] Fake players, never get out the projects
[01:46.02] It's pathetic the way she bends for dividends
[01:48.75] I tried to jewel her but she tried to get a drink at the end
[01:52.36] Of our conversation, I did not have the patience
[01:55.91] Slid off to the next Asian
[01:57.75] She said, "What you do?" I said, "What?"
[01:59.55] She said, "You know your occupation?"
[02:02.33] So I broke the fuck out in nineteen-ninety-six that's what it's all about
[02:05.98] But I won't go that route
[02:08.64] Back in the days Biz said it was The Vapors
[02:11.39] But today, I realize that it's the papers
[02:14.92] 'Cause ain't no fiends comin' in between me and my dreams
[02:17.65] See what I mean black, I gets the paper
[02:20.38] 'Cause ain't no fiends comin' in between me and my dreams
[02:23.05] See what I mean black, I gets the paper
[02:26.63] 'Cause ain't no fiends comin' in between me and my dreams
[02:29.33] See what I mean black, I gets the paper
[02:33.18]
[02:35.69] Now a whore's a whore, find a queen and she'll be my Earth
[02:40.15] Respect love and protect her, for all that it's worth
[02:42.95] I admit I have flaws, I flips at first, but deep down
[02:45.67] I wishes to give 'em the universe
[02:47.72] A lot of the ones that I thought was right wasn't
[02:51.31] I build with Afu, he said, "Don't sweat it 'cause
[02:52.91] They come a dime a dozen"
[02:54.74] Like my ex-stunt, wanted a diamond
[02:56.56] Bitches love power, while queens, love refinement
[02:59.22] Low stress environment, old age and retirement
[03:02.82] Never have to wonder where my money went
[03:05.63] Where my honey went, is her back gettin' twisted
[03:08.31] By the next fella, always take heed to what I tell her
[03:11.07] When I'm wrong, she lets me know I need correction
[03:13.72] When I'm right she's my reflection still we, use protection
[03:17.33] Through thick and thin, thin and thick
[03:19.13] She's my diamond in the rough not a whore or a trick
[03:22.78] Great expectations, of me and she buildin' nation
[03:25.45] Everything we do and skyscrapin'
[03:28.19] Back in the days, the devil used to rape her
[03:30.84] Nowadays, he got her chasin' the paper
[03:33.59] 'Cause ain't no fiends comin' in between me and my dreams
[03:37.17] See what I mean black, I gets the paper
[03:39.88] 'Cause ain't no fiends comin' in between me and my dreams
[03:42.58] See what I mean black, I gets the paper
[03:46.20] 'Cause ain't no fiends comin' in between me and my dreams
[03:48.93] See what I mean black, I gets the paper
[03:50.77] 'Cause ain't no fiends comin' in between me and my dreams
[03:54.36] See what I mean black, I gets the paper
[03:56.66]
