Live Your Life
You're gonna be a shining starYour fancy clothes, your fancy ca-arsAnd then you'll see, you're gonna go far'Cause everyone knows who you a-are
So live your life (ay), ay ay ayYou instead of chasing at paperJust live your life (oh), ay ay ayAin't got no time for no haters
Just live your life (ay), ay ay ayNo telling where it'll take yaJust 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 'em 'til they fade awayAmazing they ungreatful after all the game I gave awaySafe to say I paid the way for you cats to get paid todayYou'd still be wasting days away, now had I never saved the day
Consider them my protégé, homage I think they should payInstead of being gracious they violate in a major wayI never been a hater still I love them in a crazy waySome 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 greyI'm west side anyway, even if I left today and stayed awaySome move away to make a way, not move away 'cause they afraidI 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 awayLike I once made them spray, now I could make 'em put the K's awayBeen thugging all my life, can't say I don't deserve to take a breakYou would rather see me catch a case and watch my future fade away
You're gonna be a shining starYour fancy clothes, your fancy ca-arsAnd then you'll see, you're gonna go far'Cause everyone knows who you a-are
So live your life (ay), ay ay ayYou instead of chasing at paperJust live your life (oh), ay ay ayAin't got no time for no haters
Just live your life (ay), ay ay ayNo telling where it'll take yaJust 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)
I'm the opposite of moderateImmaculately polished with the spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kidAllergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politicsArticulate but still I'll grab a nigga by the collar quick
Whoever having problems with their record sales just holla 'tipIf that don't work and all else fails then turn around and follow 'tipI got love for the game but ay I'm not in love with all of itCould do without the fame and rappers nowadays are comically
The hooting and the hollering, back and forth with the arguingWhere you from, who you know, what you make and what kind of car you inSeems as though you lost sight of what's important when depositingThem checks into your bank account and you up out of poverty
Your values is in disarray, prioritizing horriblyUnhappy with the riches 'cause you piss poor morallyIgnoring all prior advice and fore warningAnd we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, aren't we?
You're gonna be a shining starYour fancy clothes, your fancy ca-arsAnd then you'll see, you're gonna go far'Cause everyone knows who you a-are
So live your life (ay), ay ay ayYou instead of chasing at paperJust live your life (oh), ay ay ayAin't got no time for no haters
Just live your life (ay), ay ay ayNo telling where it'll take yaJust 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)
Got everybody watching what I doCome walk in my shoesAnd see the way I'm living if you really want toGot my mind on my money and I'm not going nowhere
So keep on getting your paper and keep on climbingLook in the mirror and keep on shining'Till the game ends, 'till the clock stopsWe gon' post up on the top spot
Living the life, the lifeIn a brand new city got my whole team with meThe life, my lifeI do what I wanna do
I'm living my life, my lifeI will never lose,I'm living my life, my lifeAnd I'm not stopping
So live your life!
