Me Or The Papes

Jeru the Damaja

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 
Ba Bichez (Da Bichez Da Bichez) 
Now we gonna clear it up and let you make up your own mind 
like this... 

Now a queen's a queen and a whore is a whore 
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 shit 
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 fuck my mental, she was scheming on my mint 
Evil inten-tion, to de-plenish the fund 
She tried to juice me with the pussy 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 shit but man she loves it plush 
Whippin I whip, and suckin 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 

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 Puff and I ain't got loot to waste 
I ain't got time to waste, bad bitches is all up in my face 
Crazy ignorant, sweatin links minks and shit 
Cosmetic, but deep down, derelict 
Fake players, never get out the projects 
It's pathetic -- the way she bends for dividends 
I tried to jewel 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 fuck 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" 

Now a whore's a whore, 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 
Bitches 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 whore 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"
