“Paper” is a cautionary tale that tackles the extreme lengths people go to for wealth, focusing on the dark side of materialism. Falz highlights moral decay driven by money, referencing issues like ritual killings, drug trafficking, and internet fraud.
The track has a distinct Afrobeat groove with a catchy hook by Chillz, creating an atmosphere that is simultaneously upbeat and intensely sobering as it warns against losing one’s soul for “paper.”

[Chorus: Chillz]
Dem say see danger oh
You no dey see danger oh
No go lose your center oh
All because of paper oh
Dem say see danger oh

No go lose your center oh
All because of paper oh
[Verse 1: Falz]
Yeah

All because you want to live the faaji life
You ready to pay the price
Do the sacrifice
You ready to pay the price
Take your mama life
And even you no fit explain this your appetite
You want the benz
You no wan take the taxify
You wan order gold bottles
Enh.. Maybe 35
You wan halla “private jet things”
When you catch flight
Now you don dey shey weyrey lonso
You don dey bark for night
Skeletons in your closet
You murder to chow supper
All the wraps of powder
You swallow to pass border
All the person pikin you carry for tight corner
I see you when you collect

Dem say you talk say you dey find raba
And so you go and dip your two hands in foul matter
Oga this one you dey do

Because you want to chow dollar
[Chorus: Chillz]

Small girl pikin wey her hero still be Dora
Small pikin dem wey never suppose leave the mother

Why your people no fit hide this long throat
No go use your dirty hand stain the white for my cloth
Mouth full of jokes

Oh I hear your people collect rice for some votes
Dem say you talk say you no like suffer
Na so you go and deep your two hands in our coffers
Oga this one you dey do e pass arm robber
