Live Your Life (feat. Rihanna) (Explicit Album Version)

Live Your Life (Explicit Album Version) - T.I.
You're gonna be a shining star with fancy clothes fancy car-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
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)
Never mind 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 nah 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 the yay and no they couldn't even work on Labor day
It ain't that black and white it has an area that's shaded grey
I'm Westside 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 wanna melt their face away
Like I once made them spray 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'd rather see me catch a case and watch my future fade away
You're gonna be a shining star with 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
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 ni**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 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 what's important when depositin'
The cheques into your bank account and you up out of poverty
Your values is a disarray prioritizing horribly
Unhappy with the riches cause your piss poor morally
Ignoring all prior advice and fore warning
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden aren't we?
You're gonna be a shining star with 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
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 (ay) my life (oh) my life (ay) my life (oh)
Just living my life (ay) my life (oh) my life (ay) my life (oh)
Now everybody watchin' what I do
Come walk in my shoes And see the way I'm livin' if you really want to
I got my mind on my money and I not goin' away ay
So keep on gettin' your paper keep on climbin'
Look in the mirror and keep on shinin'
Til' the game ends til' the clock stops
We gonna post up on the top spot
So live your life
