Paper Soldier feat. Le Beau
PAPER SOLDIER — Street Dolls feat. Le Beau [Intro — Hana whispered] Attention… (hah) Street Dolls in command. [Verse 1 — Lily] You walk around like you invented fire Chest out high like a fake messiah (oh please) Talking loud at every table But can’t wash one damn plate, huh? Mama raised a little prince (little prince) Now you panic when the laundry spins Gym boy posing in the mirror Whole apartment smell like failure (ew) You think muscles make a king Like the world stops when you breathe But your ego plastic shiny (plastic) Cheap-made masculinity [Pre-Chorus — May] Oh no… poor baby stressed again (aww) Need applause for acting like a man? Want a wife that acts like mom? That little fantasy dead and gone (bye bye) [Chorus — All] Paper soldier… fold, fold (fold him up) Watch him fall like dominoes Talk big online — choke, choke (too loud) Can’t survive outside his home Paper soldier… march slow Tiny crown, gigantic ego (so big) One spark — watch him lose control Now salute the girls in gold (left, right… left-right!) [Verse 2 — Hana] Wake up boy, better make your bed Nobody spoon-feeding you instead (wake up) This ain’t mama’s little kingdom now We the ones that run this battleground Talking like some mighty leader (ha!) Whole personality built on sneakers Crying when a girl says “no” Then calling every woman “cold” Kitchen talk and fragile pride Boy that mindset fossilized (prehistoric) Girls build futures every night While you punch walls and start fights [Military Break — All] Left! Right! Left! Right! Who runs this whole damn fight? Left! Right! Left! Right! Boys collapse under pressure lights (boom!) ATTEN—TION! [Dance Break] Hey! Hey! Move! Left-right, watch him lose! Hey! Hey! Drop! Paper king about to flop! Stomp-stomp — move that throne Watch that paper kingdom fold Street Dolls in command now Salute before the beat goes— BOOM!! [Rap Break — Le Beau] Uh— You think you the man of the house? (hm?) Baby, you the kid on the couch (couch boy) Talking “alpha male” online With your mama yelling “take the trash out!” (pick it up!) Big muscles, little emotions Gym selfies, no promotions (sad) Walking like a CEO But your bank app causing commotions Pink wig energy, real boss flavor (mwah) Lip gloss sharp like a lightsaber You want a maid, not a girlfriend That mentality outdated, neighbor (old news) hahaha ... You a paper tank in bad weather One drip and you fall together (splash!) Talking tough till a woman richer Walk in the room — now your voice get lesser Ayo — Wake up, boy, better fix your spine All that fake control? decline (clock it) You ain’t leading nothing but group chats Crying every time a girl shine Built your ego outta cardboard (paper boy) Then got mad we wanted more Now you threatened by a woman Making double what you work for (double up) General Le Beau in formation Street Dolls running operations (move! move!) You want praise for basic labor? Boy, congratulations [slow clap] [Bridge — May] Who fragile now? (tell me) Who breaking down? Who screaming loud when they lose control? Not us. [Final Chorus — All] Paper soldier… fold, fold (fold him up) Watch him fall like dominoes Paper soldier… no soul (empty boy) Pretty words but the brain on pause Marching circles, same old role Tiny king with a paper throne (so tiny) One spark and the whole thing gone Now salute before we move along (left-right… left-right…) [Outro — Hana spoken] Dismissed. And somebody please teach these boys How to survive without their mothers.
