You just turned twenty-one and you living on your own now
You got no help at all from mom and dad, you're grown up
You started college, gotta pay your debts, you're sick and tired of being stressed
And worried (Girl, I know you worried)
The other night you was at the club with friends
For a birthday party and saw a guy, asked you if you wanted to dance
Didn't understand the he explained (what'd he say)
Said "Four hundred in two hours, baby girl that's all it takes"
That's how you started stripping, and finally can smell the money and taste it
Oh, girl, I know that you came here to get some paper
Oh, girl, I know that you came here to get some paper
Oh, girl, you know that I came here to see you shake it
Oh, girl, they try to bring you down but you have to
Shawty you have to, shawty you have to
Shawty you have to believe in yourself
Shawty you have to, shawty you have to
Shawty you have to believe
You work so hard, you desreve to get paid
You have a perfect body, I swear to God
You're a dime, trust me when I say it
Throw it like a pro when you hit the stage
You got tattoos on your ass cheek
Oh shit, baby girl, you make niggas wanna smash you
When you on the pole you doing tricks that make niggas wanna spend they cash
And they fall in love with you, for real
But you don't need love, you need to pay bills
Lot of your friends angry that your priorities changed, I know how it feels
They judge you just trying to make a living
They tell you ain't the same then baby don't believe them
Oh, girl, I know that you came here to get some paper
Oh, girl, I know that you came here to get some paper
Oh, girl, you know that I came here to see you shake it
Oh, girl, they try to bring you down but you have to
Shawty you have to, shawty you have to
Shawty you have to believe in yourself
Shawty you have to, shawty you have to
Shawty you have to believe
Girl, you're a diamond
They can't break you, they can't stop your shine
Make your move slow
Now they be overwhelmed
Put in work, it's the key to reaching your goals
(Yeah)
(Keep hustling girl)
(Niggas throwing racks on that)
(Yeah)
(Just do what you gotta do)
Oh, girl, I know that you came here to get some paper
Oh, girl, I know that you came here to get some paper
Oh, girl, you know that I came here to see you shake it
Oh, girl, they try to bring you down but you have to
Shawty you have to, shawty you have to
Shawty you have to believe in yourself
Shawty you have to, shawty you have to
Shawty you have to believe in yourself
