| (Rihanna): Youre gonna be a shining star, youre fancy clothes, you''re fancy car-ars. And then youll see, youre gonna go far. Cause everyone knows, who you are-are. So live your life, ay ay ay. You steady chasing that paper. Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay. Ain''t got no time for no haters. Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay. No telling where it''ll take you. Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay. Cause I''m a paper chaser. Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh) Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh) (T.I.): Nevermind what haters say, ignore em ''til they fade away. Amazing they ungreatful after all the game I gave away. Safe to say I paid the way, for you cats to get paid today. You''d still be wasting days away, now had I never saved the day. Consider them my prot?? homage I think they should pay. Instead of being gracious, they violate in a major way. I never been a hater still I love them in a crazy way. Some say they sold yah and no they couldn''t even work on Labor day. It aint that they black or white, their hands in areas the shades of grey. I''m West side anyway, even if I left today and stayed away. Some move away to make a way not move away cause they afraid. I brought back to the hood and all you ever did was take away. I pray for patience but they make me want to melt their face away. Like I once made them spray, now I could make em put the k''s away. Been thuggin all my life, cant say I don''t deserve to take a break. your would rather see me catch a case and watch my future fade away. (Rihanna): You''re gonna be a shining star, fancy clothes, fancy car-ars. And then youll see, youre gonna go far. Cause everyone knows, who you are-are. So live your life, ay ay ay. You steady chasing that paper. Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay. Ain''t got no time for no haters Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay. No telling where it''ll take you. Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay. Cause I''m a paper chaser. Just living my life. (T.I.): I''m the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished with the spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid. Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics. Articulate but still I''ll grab a nigga by the collar quick. Whoever having problems with their record sales just holla ''tip. If that dont work and all else fails, then turn around and follow tip. I got love for the game but ay I''m not in love with all of it. Could do without the fame and rappers nowadays are comically. The hootin and the hollerin, back and forth with the arguing. Where you from, who you know, what you make and what kind of car you in. Seems as though you lost sight of whats important when depositing them checks into your bank account and you up out of poverty. Your values is in disarray, prioritizing horribly. Unhappy with the riches cause you piss poor morally. Ignoring all prior advice and fore warning. And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, aren''t we? You''re gonna be a shining star, fancy clothes, fancy car-ars. And then youll see, youre gonna go far. Cause everyone knows, who you are-are. So live your life, ay ay ay. You steady chasing that paper. Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay. Ain''t got no time for no haters Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay. No telling where it''ll take you. Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay. Cause I''m a paper chaser. Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh) Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh) Got everybody watchin what I do Come walk in my shoes And see the way I''m livin if you really want to Got my mind on my money And I''m not goin nowhere So keep on gettin your paper And keep on climbing Look in the mirror and keep on shining Till the game ends, till the clock stops We gon'' post up on the top spot Livin the life, the life In a brand new city got my whole team with me The life, my life I do what I wanna do I''m livin my life, my life I will never lose, I''m livin my life, my life And I''m not stopping So live your life! |
