T.I. and Pharrell Team Up Together Again For 'Paperwork'

(Radio.com) T.I. and Pharrell: together again. After combining with Robin Thicke for 2013 smash hit "Blurred Lines," the duo is back together - this time sans Thicke - for the title track from T.I.'s upcoming album Paperwork.

Unsurprisingly, it's Pharrell on the hook in "Paperwork," contributing a soulful vocal on the slow-burning jam. "Don't do no business until you check his paperwork," he sings on the bouncing melody.

Meanwhile, T.I. raps about drinking Shirley Temples back in the day, detailing his time "back in '85" with his uncle, who was arrested on drug and weapon charges and sentenced to 10 years in prison ("Later we learn someone ratted him out / For that reason 10 years he won't be around."

"Paperwork" represents the cyclical nature of the rapper's life in Atlanta, from seeing his uncle selling - and later jailed for selling - drugs and then later getting into the game himself.
