Live Your Life (feat. Rihanna)

This a special what's happenin' to all my

All my soldiers over there in Iraq

E'rybody right here

What you need to do is be thankful for the life you got

You know what I'm sayin'

Stop looking at what you ain't got

Start being thankful for what you do got

Let's give it to 'em, baby girl, hey

You're gonna be a shining star

In fancy clothes and fancy cars

And then you'll see you're gonna go far

'Cause everyone knows just who you are

So live your life, eh-eh-eh

You steady chasin' that paper

Just live your life, eh-eh-eh

Ain't got no time for no haters

Just live your life, eh-eh-eh

No tellin' where it'll take ya

Just live your life, eh-eh-eh

'Cause I'm a paper chaser

Just livin' my life, my life

My life, my life

Just livin' my life, my life

My life, my life

Just livin' my life

Hey, never mind what haters say, ignore 'em till 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'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 'em in a crazy way

Some say they sold the yay

You know they couldn't get work on Labor Day

It ain't that black and white, it has an area the shade of gray

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 they face away

Like I once made 'em spray, now I could make 'em put the K's away

Been thuggin' all my life, I 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

In fancy clothes and fancy cars

And then you'll see you're gonna go far

'Cause everyone knows just who you are

So live your life, eh-eh-eh

You steady chasin' that paper

Just live your life, eh-eh-eh

Ain't got no time for no haters

Just live your life, eh-eh-eh

No tellin' where it'll take ya

Just live your life, eh-eh-eh

'Cause I'm a paper chaser

Just livin' my life, my life

My life, my life

Just livin' my life, my life

My life, my life

Just livin' 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'll grab a **** by the collar quick

Whoever havin' problems with their record sales, just holler 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, the rappers nowadays are comedy

The hootin' and the hollerin', back and forth with the arguin'

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 back account and you up out of poverty

Your values is a disarray, prioritizin' horribly

Unhappy with the riches 'cause you piss poor morally

Ignorin' all prior advice and forewarnin'

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

You're gonna be a shining star

In fancy clothes and fancy cars

And then you'll see you're gonna go far

'Cause everyone knows just who you are

So live your life, eh-eh-eh

You steady chasin' that paper

Just live your life, eh-eh-eh

Ain't got no time for no haters

Just live your life, eh-eh-eh

No tellin' where it'll take ya

Just live your life, eh-eh-eh

'Cause I'm a paper chaser

Just livin' my life, my life

My life, my life

Just livin' my life, my life

My life, my life

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 going away

So keep on gettin' your paper and keep on climbin'

Look in the mirror and keep on shinin'

Until the game end, till the clock stop

We gon' post up on the top spot

Livin' the life, the life

In the Windmill City, got my whole team with me

The life, my life

I do it how I wanna do

I'm livin' my life, my life

I will never lose

I'm livin' my life, my life

And I'll not stop it

So live your life
