Ms. Paper Lyrics
[Intro: Theodora]
Hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm
[Chorus: Theodora, Ayra Starr]
Turn me on like gasolina
I make money, bae, I’ll call you later
Moi, c’est Miss Kitoko ou Miss Paper
Mister Money, Mister Money, come see Missus Paper
Turn me on like gasolina
I make money, bae, I’ll call you later
Moi, c’est Miss Kitoko ou Miss Paper
Mister Money, Mister Money, come see Missus Paper
[Verse 1: Theodora, Ayra Starr]
Money, money, Mister Loser, don’t kill my vibe
Money, money, Missus Paper, we be hot and fun
Money, money, as long I got you, I should be fine
I love you bad, don’t go and kill my vibe
Money, money, I need more
Put it right there on the floor
Meet me right there by the door
Red light, green light, go
[Pre-Chorus: Ayra Starr]
He from France, they say “Oui-oui” I say “Ouh là là”
Baby got the spicy for sure, call me sriracha
We can take this back to your spot, back to the casa
We can light this shit up for sure, that gasolina
[Chorus: Theodora, Ayra Starr, Both]
(Turn me, turn me, turn me, turn me)
Turn me on like gasolina (Hm, hm, hm)
I make money, bae, I’ll call you later (Hm, hm, hm)
Moi, c’est Miss Kitoko ou Miss Paper
Mister Money, Mister Money, come see Missus Paper
Turn me on like gasolina (Hm, hm, hm)
I make money, bae, I’ll call you later (Hm, hm, hm)
Moi, c’est Miss Kitoko ou Miss Paper
Mister Money, Mister Money, come see Missus Paper
[Verse 2: Ayra Starr, Theodora]
Over cream (Yeah), paper over cream (Okay)
All white nails when I’m counting up the green (What else?)
I’ve been on go wit my day one tings (Right)
Everyone a winner, in my clique, we sellin’ dreams
Come and lick, it taste like bubblegum-gum
Mets ton nez, it smells like proper bum-bum
Mais j’suis pas dumb-dumb, même si tu go down-down
J’aime trop ma liasse pour avoir un gros baby, bump, bump (Bump, bump)
[Pre-Chorus: Theodora]
On m’appelle Miss Kitoko
Congolaise, genre Yohji Yamamoto
Il m’faut vingt-mille p’tits couteaux
L’élastique, casse-tête de mes liasses, crient “Tokoss”
[Chorus: Theodora, Ayra Starr, Both]
(Turn me, turn me, turn me, turn me)
Turn me on like gasolina (Hm, hm, hm)
I make money, bae, I’ll call you later (Hm, hm, hm)
Moi, c’est Miss Kitoko ou Miss Paper
Mister Money, Mister Money, come see Missus Paper
(Turn me, turn me, turn me, turn me)
Turn me on like gasolina (Hm, hm, hm)
I make money, bae, I’ll call you later (Hm, hm, hm)
Moi, c’est Miss Kitoko ou Miss Paper
Mister Money, Mister Money, come see Missus Paper
[Outro: Ayra Starr]
Turn me on like gasolina
I make money, bae, I’ll call you later

Song Bio Ms. Paper Lyrics – Ayra Starr
Tucked into track eight of Starrgirl, “Ms. Paper” is where Ayra Starr hands the mic to a kindred spirit. The Nigerian superstar built her third studio album around the idea of a woman who answers to no one, and pairing her with French-Congolese singer Theodora gives that theme its most electric expression yet. Ayra frames money, attraction, and self-assurance as inseparable, drawing a woman who knows her worth and refuses to let romance derail the life she’s building on her own terms. Theodora meets her there, sliding between English and French with the same unbothered swagger that defines her “Boss Lady” persona.
Critics have pointed to the record’s bouyon-inflected rhythm as one of the album’s most infectious detours, a track fixated on making money and holding onto it. The bilingual wordplay and playful bravado turn it into one of Starrgirl’s standout collaborations.
The pairing also says something bigger about where African pop is headed. Bringing one of French pop’s fastest-rising African voices into Ayra’s orbit strengthens the connection between Nigerian pop and the broader, increasingly borderless African diaspora scene. Released August 14, 2026 via Mavin Records and Republic Records, “Ms. Paper” arrives as a confident, genre-blurring highlight from one of the year’s most anticipated albums.
