(t.I.):
What you need to do is be thankful for the life that you got.
You know what I'm sayin'.
Stop lookin' at what you ain't got
And start bein' thankful for what you do got.
Let's give it to 'em baby girl.

(rihanna):
You're gonna be a shining star, with fancy clothes
And fancy car-ars.
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far.
Cause everyone knows, who you are-are.
So live your life, (ay) ay ay ay.
Instead of 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 them 'til they fade away.
Amazing they ungreat for
After all the games I gave away.
Safe to say I paved the way,
For you can't get paid today.
You still be wasting days away,
Nah had I never saved the day.
Consider them my protégé,
How much I think they should pay.
Instead of being gracious,
They violated and made you wait.
I never been a hater still I love them,
Yeah I graze the way.
Some say they so yay and
No they couldn't even work on labor day.
It aint that they black or white,
Their hands of area in shades of grey.
I'm west side anyway,
Even if I left the day it fades away.
Some move away to make a way not move away
Cause they afraid.
I'll go back to the hood
And all you ever did was hate away.
I pray for patience
But they make me want to face away.
Like I once made them scream,
Now I could make them plead their case away.
Been thuggin' all my life,
Can't say I don't deserve to take a break.
If you ever see me catch a case,
And watch my future fade away.

(rihanna):
You're gonna be a shining star,
With fancy clothes
And fancy car-ars.
And then you'll see,
You're gonna go far.
Cause everyone knows,
Who you are-are.
So live your life, (ay) ay ay ay.
Instead of 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 would grab a nigga by the collar quick.
Whoever had problems, they reckonsile they just holla 'til.
If that don't work and just fails,
Then turn around and follow 'til.
I got love for the game
But ay I'm not in love with all of it.
I do without the fame
And the rappers nowadays are comedy.
The hootin' and the hollerin',
Back and forth with the argueing.
Where you from, who you know,
What you make and what kind of car you in.
Seems as though you lost sight
Of what's important with the positive.
And checks until your bank account,
And you're about poverted.
Your values is a disarrayed,
Prioritized are horribly.
Unhappy with the riches cause you pis-pone morraly.
Ignoring all prior advice and fore warning.
And we might be full of ourselves all of a sudden
Aren't we?

(rihanna):
You're gonna be a shining star,
With fancy clothes
And fancy car-ars.
And then you'll see,
You're gonna go far.
Cause everyone knows, who you are-are.
So live your life, ay ay ay.
Instead of chasing that paper.
Just live your life (oh!), ay ay ay.
Ain't got no time for no inters.
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 wathing 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 going nowhere

So keep on getting your paper
And keep on climbling
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 living
My life, my life
And I'm not stopping...

So live your life!
