Live Your Life



(Rihanna): 
You're gonna be a shining star, in fancy clothes, and fancy ca-ars.
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far,
'Cause everyone knows just who you are-are.
So live your life, ay ay ay.
You steady chasing that paper,
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
You got no time for no hata's
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
No telling where it'll take ya,
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
'Cause I'm a paper chaser,
Just living my life

Nevermind what haters say, ignore them 'til they fade away.
Amazing they ungrateful after all the game I gave away.
Safe to say I paved the way for you cats to get paid today.
You still be wasting days away, now, had I never saved the day.
Consider them my protégé, 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 crazy way.
Some say they so gay you know they couldn't get work on Labor day.
It ain't that black or white, it has an area that's shaded 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 go back to the 'hood and all you ever did was take away.
I pray for patience but they make me want to melt they face away.
Like I once made them spray, now I could make them plead their K's away.
Been thuggin' all my life, can't say I don't deserve to take a break.
you'd 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 ca-ars.
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far,
Cause everyone knows, just who you are-are.
So live your life, ay ay ay.
You steady chasing that paper,
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
You got no time for no hata's
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
No telling where it'll take ya,
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 wit' 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 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 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 what's important when depositing them 
checks into your bank account, and you're up out of poverty.
Your values are a disarray, prioritizing horribly.
Unhappy with the riches 'cause you're piss-poor morally.
Ignoring all prior advice and forewarning.
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, aren't we?

(Rihanna):
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 am not going away
So keep on gettin' your paper
And keep on climbin'
look in the mirror
and keep on shinin'
till the game end
till the clock stop
we gon' post up on the top spot

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 hata's
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
No telling where it'll take ya,
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!),
Just living my life
