What you need to do is be thankful for the life you got,
Now what i'm saying?
Stop looking at what you ain't got and start being thankful for what you do got.
Let's give it 'em baby girl
[Rihanna]
You're gonna be a shining star, in 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
You steady chasing that paper
Just live your life (oh), ay ay ay
Ain't go 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 'till they fade away
Amazing they ungrateful 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, now had I never saved the day
Consider them my protégé, how much I think they should pay
Instead of being gracious, they violate in the major way
I never been a hater still I love them, yeah I a crazy way
Some say they sold yay and no they couldn't do work on Labor day
It ain't that black or white, it has an area that' shaded gray
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'll go back to the hood and all you ever did was hate the way
I pray for patience but they make me want to melt they 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
You rather see me catch a case, and watch my future fade away
[Rihanna]
You're gonna be a shining star, in 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
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

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 having problems with they record sales just holla TIP
If that don't work and all elsefails, then turn around and follow TIP
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 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 with the positive
And checks until your bank account, and you're about poverty
Your values is a disarray. prioritizing horribly
Unhappy with the riches cause you piss-poor morvally
Ignoring all prior advice and fore warning
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden aren't we ?
[Rihanna]
You're gonna be a shining star, in 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
You steady 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)
Got everybody watching what I do,
Come walk in my shoes,
And see the way I'm living 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 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.
Living 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 living my life, my life,
I will never lose,
I'm living my life, my life,
And I'm not stopping,
So live your life !
