Paper - Schur
What's going onnnnn!
I hope everyone has been having a grand time these last couple weeks. This song, Paper, has been about my transition out of the working world into being a full time musician. It tells the story of a meeting I had where someone told me that playing music was a selfish thing to do. I don't quite see it that way.
Forever grateful for this opportunity.
Lyrics:
Oh I’m looking for my photograph
Tucked away I sway
Tomorrow day
So it kills me when you say
You’re nothing but a white boy couldn’t be choosy
Go and live your life boy nothing like a movie
Go and play nice don’t try to get boozy
Know you got it made, oh yeah
So you don’t need strife, no blood no jacuzzi
Luxury is tight but your friends move loosely
You don’t need to fly in the 488 or cry on the interstate
Just stay in your lane
You tell me I should go and earn my paper downtown
And while that’d pay my rents it wouldn’t make them proud
They said a tie is more a noose than a crown
So you can stay in Gotham where you’re sure to get paid
I’ll be up the street tryna get my shit played
You look for diamonds while I’m looking for a heart
And while I love your suit I’d never take it for my cards
I’m getting high on the views
And the cold night air
I got nothing to lose
I’m going nowhere
Oh I’m looking for my photograph
Tucked away I sway
Tomorrow day
So it kills me when you say
You’re nothing but a white boy couldn’t be choosy
Go and live you life boy nothing like a movie
Go and play nice don’t try to get boozy
Know you got it made, oh yeah
So you don’t need strife, no blood, no jacuzzi
Luxury is tight but your friends move loosely
You don’t need to fly in the 488 or cry on the interstate
Just stay in your lane
I’m getting high on the views
And the cold night air
I got nothing to lose
I’m going nowhere
