Текст песни: T.I.. Live Your Life.

[feat. Rihanna]

[Chorus: Rihanna]
You're gonna be a shining star
Your fancy clothes, your fancy ca-ars
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows who you a-are

So live your life (ay), ay ay ay
You instead of chasing at paper
Just live your life (oh), ay ay ay
Ain't got no time for no haters

Just live your life (ay), 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)

[Verse 1: T.I.]
Never mind 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 protege, 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 ain't 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 thugging all my life, can't say I don't deserve to take a break
You would rather see me catch a case and watch my future fade away

[Chorus: Rihanna]
You're gonna be a shining star
Your fancy clothes, your fancy ca-ars
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows who you a-are

So live your life (ay), ay ay ay
You instead of chasing at paper
Just live your life (oh), ay ay ay
Ain't got no time for no haters

Just live your life (ay), 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)

[Verse 2: 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 don't 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 hooting and the hollering, 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 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?

[Chorus: Rihanna]
You're gonna be a shining star
Your fancy clothes, your fancy ca-ars
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows who you a-are

So live your life (ay), ay ay ay
You instead of chasing at paper
Just live your life (oh), ay ay ay
Ain't got no time for no haters

Just live your life (ay), 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)

[Verse 3: 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'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!
