[** 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 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 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 n***a 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!
