Midnight rush, with a pen in my hand
午夜時分  我的手裡握著一隻筆

Dinkin Lincoln, sand-script with a fan
 正在寫著草稿

Remembering me, before it began
在一切開始前  請記得我

Sometimes I felt so Def in the Jam
有時候 在喧鬧中 我感覺就要聾了

Cause the ones who loved me, told me to stop
因為那些愛我的人  要我停止這一切

Like homegirl can't catch sh*t if it drops
要我像個鄰家女孩 連個重物都提不起來

A superwoman chick, you know that I am
但你知道 我是個強勢的女強人

Some sh*t don't fly by me in a man
那些男人的屁事 根本不能影響我

[Bridge:]

Cause I do not accept any less
因為我不接受弱者

Than someone just as real, as fabulous
我只要一個真實的 令人讚美的人

[Chorus:]
Don't want no PAPER GANGSTA
我不要惺惺作態的紙老虎

Won't sign away my life to
我不會把我的人生交給

Someone whose got the flavor
一個有能力可以做到最好

But don't have no follow through
但是沒有勇氣去發掘自己的才能

Don't want no PAPER GANGSTA
我不要惺惺作態的紙老虎

Won't sign no monkey papers
我不會簽那些可笑的文件

I don't do funny business
我不做不正當的生意

Not interested in fakers
我對仿冒品沒有興趣

Don't want no PAPER GANGSTA
我不要惺惺作態的紙老虎

Oo ohhhh
喔  喔  喔

Don't want no PAPER GANGSTA
我不要惺惺作態的紙老虎

Oo ohhh
喔  喔  喔

[Verse 2:]

Got something really shiny to start
我有個很炫的東西 來做為一切的開始

Want me to sign there on your Range Rover heart?
你真的要我簽我的名字在你的頂級四輪傳動車上嗎

I've heard it before
這些陳腔濫調 我聽過很多遍了

Yeah, the dinners were nice
是的 晚餐很不錯

Till your diamond words melted into some ice
但是你說的那些甜言蜜語  好像都被戳破了

You should been rapping to the beat of my song Mr. California,
你應該跟著我的饒舌歌 Mr California一起哼唱的

PAPER GANGSTA and I'm lookin' for love, not an
惺惺作態的紙老虎 我在找的是真愛  不是

Empty page full of stuff that means nothing but "you've been played

一頁寫滿(你曾經被玩弄了..)的屁話  因為它對我不具任何意義

[Bridge:]

Cause I do not accept any less
因為我不接受弱者

Than someone just as real, as fabulous
我只要一個真實的 令人讚美的人
