Usher's Paper Trail Leads Straight to Divorce Song

Is it just us, or has Usher been taking courses at the Andy Samberg School of Songwriting?

Either way, he knows how to drive his point home: The man is "ready to sign them papers."

This, at least, according to the aptly titled "Papers," a new tune released online by the R&B mastermind this morning, in which he discusses his pending divorce from Tameka Foster and gives a bit of lyrical insight fresh for the mining for fans and gossip hounds alike.

Oh, and all those persistent rumors about his marriage putting a strain on his relationship with his mom? As tends to be the case, they were persistent for a reason.

"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," he croons. "I'm ready to sign them papers."

Unfortunately, the song, catchy as it is, doesn't give enormous amounts of insight into his soon-to-be dissolved partnership. But he does offer up some details of his personal life, give or take a bit of artistic license.

"I ain't afraid to say I got needs," he sings at one point, following it up with the admission that he's "tired of sleeping in the other room."

"I know it's you I love/I also know it's you I don't like," he continues. "You leave me no options, girl."

Sounds like he's ready to sign them papers.
