[ J. Sands whispering ]

Yo

(What?)

The Paper Chase

(What?)

Yo

Watch your back, man

Because you never ever know where they're at

Paper Chase

Watch your back

Because you never ever know where they're at



[ VERSE 1: J. Sands ]

For me it's kind of easy when I say these words

You deserve what you get and you get what you deserve

At any point in time any thing can occurr

Cause you never know what he said or she said to her

Cause it's all behind your back before you even know the facts

Reading you like the constellations of the zodiacs

Man, your people do, but when you come through

They don't be claimin you say they gamin you

Cause the revenue grew

Free treats, free pay-per-view should be a clue

That the party's over here, throw your hands in the air

See, that's when they try to get you

Schemin so they can hit you

Ski mask in the shadows, creepin to catch you sleepin

That out of town stay for the weekend, cats peepin

Jealous eyes conspire for your demise

Realize that once a man is given a chance, he tries



[ CHORUS: J. Sands ]

Words from the wise, yo, you analyze that

Then you'll see all them cats aimin knives at your back

Smilin in your face once you step up in the place

Everybody's lined up to race for the paper chase

The snakes, the fakes, they do whatever it takes



[ VERSE 2: J. Sands ]

Aiyo, 'how many of us have them?' How many?

When things get real, kid, you're lucky to have any

Cause everybody's strugglin to find that extra penny

Only a few succeed, so the rest be like 'gimme!'

That's why I only roam with my son

You take the l out of 'Lone', you'll be left with 'one'
