Resurrection (Paper, Paper)

The lyrics present a speaker focused on earning money, protecting it, and staying loyal to his group. The repeated refrain makes this goal sound like a shared slogan, while the verses shift between confidence, anger toward rivals, and memories of having little. Beneath the boastful tone is an awareness that street conflict can bring death: the speaker admits that he, like everyone else, could die.

“Paper” is slang for money, so “get your paper” means earn or obtain cash. The repeated phrase turns money into a sign of security and success, but the lyrics also show its dangers: one person is said to have been killed “for the love of the cheese,” another slang term for money. The image of being “six feet deep” means being buried, sharply contrasting wealth with mortality. “We in the flesh” emphasizes that the group is physically present and still active, not gone or defeated.

The song’s confidence is therefore not entirely carefree. Loyalty and self-protection are presented as necessary, yet the threats and violence suggest that this way of life carries serious risks. The title’s word “Resurrection” may suggest a return or renewed presence, especially alongside the repeated claim that the group is still here. Still, the lyrics do not clearly explain the title, so it may be read as a broad theme of revival rather than a specific story.
