Paper Cuts, Pt. 2 Video (MV)

Getting to the paper
Can be so perilous
You better have the patience
To behold
The hand that you are dealt
And never get complacent
Ay that's imperative
It seems its in our nature
To get ahead of ourselves
I've been working since seventeen
In the rat race for the cheddar cheese
Started in last place, still
Many ahead of me
I am not that fazed
In fact It hasn't affected me
Not attached
I never pledged allegiance
To the cash
I'm not about greed
Definitely not about jealousy
I'm not about speed
Check me on the amphetamine
I took the red pill
Now I see everything
Virtual treadmills, pick up the pace
All for a payment
I keep some papers on me just in case
I need to slow down
Remind myself it's not a race
Moneys so profound
It can provide it can take
And its so contagious
There's no containment
There's no escape
From the plague of wanting more
As long as my bills paid
I'm okay, cause
Paper can be so perilous
You better have the patience
To behold
The hand that you are dealt
And never get complacent
Ay that's imperative
It seems it's in our nature
To get ahead of ourselves
Sooner or later
You're gonna have to pay the penalty
Do yourself favour with the felonies
Keep em' hella clean
I tell ya hell will freeze
When i play god
For the sake of little extra green
Won't quit my day job
Still going places that I've never been
If it's about paper
Denim about like a pair of jeans
If it's about Labour
I put in that work like I'm Jeremy
So many dangers
I've been going through labours like Herecles
F*ck no got no hoe going through labour
You know that can wait till I blow up
I don't own a cape and i don't trust
These stray hoes, same old
She wanna baller like Derrick Rose
Well i wanna woman like J-Lo
I ain't gotta tell em cause they know
I'm like Donatello, like J Cole
Hey-ho, won't you let me paint a pic
Hold a second let me switch
I'm a broke man, I'm a broke man
And I'm just tryna get fixed
I'm just tryna flip a brick
I'm just tryna hit a lick
Wtf you think this is?
I'm no money-making Mitch
I'm not rushing to get rich
F*ck a carbon copy I'm original
Lend an ear and see the visual
Started engineering when i finished school
Like ay
I'm a country soul I'm a city jewel
Put on crunchy roll in your living room
I got 9-tales i can spit for you let me spray
All my targets swear I'll hit em all
F*ck the hardship yeah it's difficult
But you gotta harvest
What is given to you by the day
It's s not all about what's profitable
Ok you want the Cream
The profiteroles well i say
Getting to the Paper
Can be so perilous
You better have the patience
To behold
The hand that you are dealt
And never get complacent
Ay that's imperative
It seems its in our nature
To get ahead of ourselves
