Paper is a thin material mainly used for writing upon, printing upon, drawing or for packaging. It is produced by pressing together moist fibers, typically cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets.
Paper is a versatile material with many uses. Whilst the most common is for writing and printing upon, it is also widely used as a packaging material, in many cleaning products, in a number of industrial and construction processes, and even as a food ingredient – particularly in Asian cultures.
Paper, and the pulp papermaking process, was said to be developed in China during the early 2nd century AD by the Han court eunuch Cai Lun, although the earliest archaeological fragments of paper derive from the 2nd century BC in China.
The oldest known archaeological fragments of the immediate precursor to modern paper date to 2nd century BC China. Papermaking is considered one of the Four Great Inventions of China, and the pulp papermaking process is ascribed to Cai Lun, a 2nd century AD Han court eunuch. With paper an effective substitute for silk in many applications, China could export silk in greater quantity, contributing to a Golden Age.

Paper make the world go around
The essence of what superficial is, same time profound
Skin-tone so brown, she got to make ends meet
Cant be, mommas dancing now, daddy is a deadbeat
What the Pen speaks, transpires on a daily
I’m not one to rap about lies as long as u pay me
she’s out stripping for men, but claims job is dancing
deals with her guilt by saying she aint romancing
so she feels better as long as she aint sucking
and then she starts sucking as long as she aint fucking
and then she starts fucking, as long as it aint raw
and then it’s well, how’s he suppose to nut??
So what’s the limit? don’t wind up in a clinic
was it worth it for some minute shit that could’ve been prevented
the aftermath trying to sprint to the money
but stumbled on the way, such a humbling price to pay
come on
[Chorus]
the paper make the world go around
the source to reach the crown
will the ambition bring me down
because the paper make the world go around
will it pick me from the ground
or will it let me drown, let me drown
[Gill Graff]
some cant escape, behind the 8 ball
unless you (a.) ball, (b.) rap, (c). crime, dope sellers
hide from propellers, they cant get us, starving stomachs don’t know
better
detention centers to prisoner post letters
its typical, cant we see is critical, some turn biblical
some seem ignorant, when they’re really lyrical, cynical
cant trust a soul - most are sold wit goals to reach success pinnacles
whose to blame? Waive the law for Loose change
cant be a known titty boy without 2 Chainz
youth brains captivated, gangster role models , emphasize more bottles,
so they imitate it
the writing on the wall conveys the verdict, judgment day
behind bars, homicide, first 48
the aftermath, trying to sprint to the money
but stumbled on the way, such a humbling price to pay
[Chorus]
[Gill Graff]
rats crawling on em’, sleeping in a warehouse
moved to a trailer, anonymous whereabouts
father threw tantrums, ran away from ransom
only friend I had back then died from cancer
funds low trying to elevate
pops sold his car for my pair of skates
I remember clearly
School bus bitches trying to get near me
fucking hoes in the bathroom between periods
Was broke as fuck, but always rich in spirit
Saying prayers, hope you hear it, it’s hard to remain coherent
I put my problems on paper hoping it’ll stray
I illustrate pictures hoping someday it’ll pay
So I’m going all in, that’s my investment
Bout to marry the game, my niggas is my bestman
the aftermath, trying to sprint to the money
[Fes Taylor:]
I get money all over the states
So I can see the hate all over your face
Fade off on the jakes, fans they see me in the Lamborghini
Got bitches with tans in bikinis
Seas like pans of ziti, NYPD
My NYC D's got wolves that'll shoot you for three g's
Son you better hope I squeeze freeze, fuck if I get locked up
Know I'm going home like E.T.
I got bail money, fresh off the block, still money
Put away in a shoe box and steal from me
I take fingers in exchange, my niggas in the game
Never been afraid to stick you with a blade
How can I be broke as hell
When I can hit the block hard, son, I got coke to sale
My last name should of been Paper
Cause everytime I spit, it's like I'm giving you tips like you a waiter
[Chorus: Fes Taylor w/ Mr. Prezident ad-libs]
You getting money right? (Cop this yeah, drop a top)
Them is 20's right? (Stop this year, don't know when to stop)
Aiyo the honeys like (cop this year, watch the rocks)
I said you hungry right? (Hell yeah)
[Hook: Mr. Prezident]
Aiyo, I'm just getting this paper, the more that we make, bro
Just love how these niggas'll hate cha
A car, truck, house and some acres, we won't let it break us
Got rings like we play for the Lakers
[Mr. Prezident:]
Time has come for the Gov, to get that run
So Fantom keeps begging me to give him my gun
Dog it ain't easy in the slums where I'm from
I done did a lot of things when I was slinging up jums
So I keep the mack on me, to keep them cats off me
Black stay flossy, you don't wanna cross me
The Benz lean mean, birds fly when I'm cruising by
See you dudes looking, ya'll schemin' with a crooked eye
Yea, the bracelet's the basics, so tight, you can taste it
Reached at your home where your face is
Face it, respect it, matter fact, embrace it
My necklace is grayish like white girl's braces
Button up Mioshis, old school aces
Can't forget the watch, cop bully box laced it
Holla at your boy if ya stash get low
Now I can show ya'll muthafuckas how to ge this dough
[Chorus]
[paper, the original, in english:]
Here she comes, / she's running over the hill /
With her friend / in tow. /
I know that it feels / that there's no-one else on earth. /
Oh, heavenly days, / you and me. /
Ooh... / only love can mend a broken heart. /
There's a place / that I've seen in my dreams, /
I'd like to live there / by a golden sea. /
The only sound / that I ever want to hear /
Is the sound / of her voice. /
Here she comes, / she's running over the hill /
With her friend / in tow. /
Ooh... / only love can mend a broken heart. /
Ooh... (only love,) / only love can mend a broken heart. /
Ooh... (only love,) / only love can mend a broken heart. /
Ooh... (only love,) / only love can mend a broken heart. /
Little pieces of colored paper
Feel its grip and its will to shape ya
Kneel before the greed
that's gonna rape ya
Call collect to the undertaker
little pieces of colored paper
valued more than its very maker
It is your god
It is your king
It puts a price on everything
Watch the color of our collar
when you steal the almighty dollar
The color of money is the color of greed
That is a shade of green I do not need
It plagues men's hearts
poisons their souls
They make the money
but its in control
You face the facts
then you'd know that its true
its got more of a right to exist than you do
Put a price on your life
My pockets are empty
but my heart is full
and I don't need money
to give my life value
You can buy the land
but you can't buy the Sky
There are some things in this world
that your money can't buy
THESE DREAMS ARE FREE
[Intro: Dom Pachino]
Yeah... where my muthafucking pad at?
Here it go, flatten these fucking dudes
Yeah, yo
Paper, paper, paper, paper, yeah
Paper, paper, paper, paper, what
Paper, paper, paper, paper, yeah
Paper, paper, yo
[Chorus x2: Dom Pachino]
Paper, paper, paper, paper, read about it
I tell niggas stop being pussy, and be a G about it
[Dom Pachino:]
I finesse this flow, don't test this blow
I'm professional, leave you vegetable
Like to talk alot of shit, look at testicle
Have 'em wet like a messy hoe, that I fucked out in Mexico
Don't make me say it again, you are not my friend
If we can't break bread and them ends don't meet
I will scrape your face on a concrete street
We don't hardly speak, you look strong, but you oddly weak
Doorag and fitted, but you hardly street
Should of woke ya ass up, but you had to sleep
So a nigga just had to creep, little weasel
You ain't cock diesel, I cock and squeeze through
Your drop and bleed through, your hoes are see through
My flow's unbelievable just ask the people
Who's raps are lethal, who's tracks'll eat you
P, it been 11 years and they still can't see you
But of course they hear you, and of course they feel you
Cause you a real dude
You got the skills to pay bills and you eat some real food
They waiting to eat, man
They food is mildew, sergeant should of drilled you
Don't hate on real dudes, cause, they will kill you
[Chorus x4]
[Dom Pachino:]
Yo, I weight a buck fifty something, and represent
A tough city that ain't fronting, nigga, stop talkin' bout it & make something
Out of a great nothing pretty, this as gritty as it get
Bags under my eyes cause my city never slept
Yeah, just about as shitty as it get
Make the best out of nothing is the prettiest success
Never had much, but I had my respect
Wasn't dealt every card, but I had a deck
I can change the current state of hip hop, if I had a sec
If it wasn't all about a check, but it is, so I gotta put the
Chkk-chkk, hammer to your neck
Just to get some mere play, who dare say, it ain't real
You ain't boppin', this ain't something you can feel
Maybe more so if I greased you with a mil', but
I'd rather grease you with a kill
For, not keeping it real, you fucking faggots
[Chorus x4]
[Outro: Dom Pachino]
Yeah, yeah, everybody out for that paper, man
I'm out for that paper, man, I'm not gon' lie
Knowhatimsaying, I write my thoughts down on the paper
To make paper, everything have to do with the paper
I sign contracts, I sign the paper, knowhatimsaying
I go to the bank, deposit some money, I sign the paper
I sign them muthafuckin check, I sign the paper
It seem like, man, the corporate world is all about the paper
You wanna survive, muthafucking United States
Pretty much anywhere the world, man, you gotta play with the paper
Hold the paper up to the light
Some rays pass right through
Expose yourself out there for a minute
Some rays pass right through
Take a little rest when the rays pass through
Take a little time off when the rays pass through
Go ahead, mix it up, go ahead and tie it up
A long distance telephone call
Hold on to that paper
Hold on to that paper
Hold on 'cause it's been taken care of
Hold on to that paper
See if you can fit it on the paper
See if you can get it on the paper
See if you can fit it on the paper
See if you can get it on the paper
Had a love affair but it was only paper
Some rays they pass right through
Had a lot of fun, could have been a lot better
Some rays they pass right through
Take a little consideration, take every combination
Take a few weeks off, make it tighter, tighter
If you know it was never, it was never written down
Still might be a chance that it might work out
Hold on to that paper
Hold on to that paper
Hold on 'cause it'll be taken care of
Hold on to that paper
Don't think I can fit it on the paper
Don't think I can get it on the paper
Go ahead and rip up, rip up the paper
Your peppered past is not the rose you led it on,
it's all the incidents,
you led it on,
paper nights leading understanding mornings,
to shake your size...
it takes me all night,
caught you on my sleeve,
stopped for eighteen minutes,
could not forget perfect imperfacts,
married thenext year away tonight,
make me work,
Little pieces of colored paper
Feel its grip and its will to shape ya
Kneel before the greed
that's gonna rape ya
Call collect to the undertaker
little pieces of colored paper
valued more than its very maker
It is your god
It is your king
It puts a price on everything
Watch the color of our collar
when you steal the almighty dollar
The color of money is the color of greed
That is a shade of green I do not need
It plagues men's hearts
poisons their souls
They make the money

You face the facts
then you'd know that its true
its got more of a right to exist than you do
Put a price on your life
My pockets are empty
but my heart is full
and I don't need money
to give my life value
You can buy the land
but you can't buy the Sky
There are some things in this world
that your money can't buy
Take the innocence free the children from their youth make
them grow up before their time tell them about the
uncertainly make them fear tomorrow give them the
nightmares that wake you every night pour your soul onto

Bassline messy n yeah I go Glastonbury n wear wellies,
Cause I'm a known rapper, was no Fonejacker but I got the 'LCD' and it's HD ready,
Look, I'm sick of the comparisons already,
I listen when I square like Madison,
Rent mansions don't stay in the Radisson,
Any other rapper I'm bigger n badder than,
See I'm in a different league, I'm a different breed,
You're Championship, I'm Champions League,
Back a day I was in that champion team,
Name on the back 'brap brap' like I was on stage,
N I rap bout 20-man deep, next that's Wembley? 20 seats cause,
I'm one of the best MCs to spit it,
UK or US fuck the critics,
You spray n you dress with no fittin,
Look, I'm the hardest regardless,
See I'm on the road so they rolled out the red carpet,
So cool with my? glasses,
Limelight so I shine like varnish,
It's my time, I'm now you're past it,
You're an MC, I'm an artist,
N I'm still old skool like a partin',
I'm still half in, the industry half in the streets
N the mixtape market, so I'm still hungry like I'm fastin,
Tahahaha, to the bank I'm laughin
[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
Look, I'm back I bun down the endz,
I come for pounds you come back for pence,

Landlord, I might come down for rent,
I come to my senses early on,
Now mamis got that Hermes on, with her Vuitton,
Louis, case, mortgage paid,
This place I represent, These people I'm there for them,
These verses I recommend, You rewind n hear again,
You won't witness this again,
The MC spit so quick with such sense,
Such soul, n success, Home Sweet Home, Classic,
Fuckin Illmatic, addict, Kane's still at it,
Don't make me prove this again,
That I'm the shit I'm the best, with all due respect,
But no disrespect, when you go right I go left,
I'm different, if you ask me,
I'm the people's champ like Ali
[Hook]
[Verse 3:]
Look, I'm better I'm greater,
Hot now veteran later,

Cristian D's over the eyelids,
The shit we need to look the fliest,
Diamond rings n no TV licence,
Magnum Dom P n BT's cut off,
Stereotype fuck that I'm a one off,
It's just one of the things I do,
Custom tracksuits n bling my shoes,

I wanna hear everybody sing my choon like,

[Hook]
Look, I make money, I make money money,
