Paper Run Low

Intro

Mm

Yeah

Uh-huh

Check it

Chorus

Smoking that rock ain't a good time

Pockets go empty and the block go cold

Nobody calls when your paper run low

Nobody calls when your paper run low

Smoking that rock ain't a good time

Money evaporates quick as it came

The homies don't know you when you got no name

The homies don't know you when you got no name

Verse 1

Woke up on a Tuesday with a hollow chest

Counted eleven dollars and some lint

Sold my mama's radio for a little taste

Now the hallway smells like regret and rust

I told Big Lou I would pay him back

Lou don't take excuses he just takes a walk

Now I'm ducking every corner on my own street

'Cause a man with no money is a man with no friends

Pre-Chorus

And the phone stop ringing

And the door stop knocking

And the mirror start asking

Who you gonna be

Chorus

Smoking that rock ain't a good time

Pockets go empty and the block go cold

Nobody calls when your paper run low

Nobody calls when your paper run low

Smoking that rock ain't a good time

Money evaporates quick as it came

The homies don't know you when you got no name

The homies don't know you when you got no name

Verse 2

Saw my cousin at the store he looked right through me

Fifteen years of Sundays gone in a blink

I pawned the chain my father left in '03

For a twenty minute holiday I can't recall

They say the street don't love nobody

They say the street just counts what you owe

I learned that lesson on a wet curb

With a busted lip and a busted phone

Bridge

Put it down

Put it down

Before the pavement learn your name

Put it down

Put it down

Before the corner takes your frame

Chorus

Smoking that rock ain't a good time

Pockets go empty and the block go cold

Nobody calls when your paper run low

Nobody calls when your paper run low

Smoking that rock ain't a good time

Money evaporates quick as it came

The homies don't know you when you got no name

The homies don't know you when you got no name

Outro

Mm

No love

No love

Yeah
