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 some guy asked you if you wanted to dance
Didn't understand the he explained, he said
"Four hundred and 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 believe in yourself
Shawty you have to, shawty you have to
Shawty you have to believe

You work so hard, yeah it's all 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 make niggas wanna spend they cash
I could fall in love with you, for real
[?] love, you gotta pay bills
Lot of your friends angry
that your priorities changed, I know how it feels
They judge, you just try to make a living
They tell you ain't the same then

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
