Here are the Usher Papers lyrics in their entirety.

As Rap-up.com notes, in the song, which was written by Sean Garrett, Usher’s divorce from Tameka Foster Raymond, is referenced with such lines as: “For you I gave my heart and turned my back against the world/ ’Cause you were my girl, girl, girl/ I done damn near lost my mama/ I done been through so much drama/ I done turned into the man that I never thought I’d be/ I’m ready to sign them papers.” [Source: New Music: Usher – Papers]

The Boombox quotes additional lyrics — ‘Who the hell argues and fights like dogs at 6 in the morning?/ I know its gonna’ be some more s— tonight…Our pastor’s calling telling me I done went too far and/ I’m seen around town and my friends can’t recognize me, ‘cuz I took a chance on love.” — and reports that the forthcoming album is believed to feature production from Jermaine Dupri, Ne-Yo and The Neptunes.
