Live Your Life (Explicit album version) - T.I. feat. Rihanna

You're gonna be a shining star, fancy clothes, 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.

intead 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)

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 violated in a major way.

I never been a hater, still I love 'em in a crazy way.

Some say they so creative and no they couldn't get work on Labor day.

It aint that black or white, a handsome area, a shade of grey.

I'm West side anyway, even if I left the day 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 take away.

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.

If you ever see me catch a case, and watch my future fade away.

You're gonna be a shining star, fancy clothes, 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 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 and 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 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.

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 when depositing

your checks into your bank account, and you're about poverted.

Your values is in disarray, prioritizing horribly.

Unhappy with the riches cause you piss poor morraly.

Ignoring all prior advice and forewarning.

And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden aren't we?

Got everybody watchin 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 goin nowhere

So keep on gettin 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

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 livin my life, my life

And I'm not stopping

So live your life!

You're gonna be a shining star, fancy clothes, 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 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)

So live your life!
