Live Your Life By T.I. Featuring Rihanna (By Keith Hartrick and Toni Fenstermaker)

(Rihanna): You're gonna be a shining star, with fancy clothes, and 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 Chasin that 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) Just living my life 

(T.I.): 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 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 so yay and no they couldn't get work on Labor day. It aint that they black or white, their hands a area the shade of grey. I'm West side anyway, even if I left the day it 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. You'd rather see me catch a case, and watch my future fade away.

(Rihanna): You're gonna be a shining star, with fancy clothes, and 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. Instead of chasing that paper. Just live your life (Oh! ), ay ay ay. You got no time for no haters Just live your life (Oh! ), 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) Just Livin My Life.

(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 would grab a nigga by the collar quick. Whoever havin problems, with they record sale 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 what's important with the positive. And checks until your bank account, and you're about poverted. Your values is a disarrayed, prioritizing horribly. Unhappy with the riches cause you miss-poor morally. Ignoring all prior advice and fore warning. And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden aren't we?

(Rihanna): You're gonna be a shining star, with fancy clothes, and 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. Instead of chasing that paper. Just live your life (Oh! ), ay ay ay. You got no time for no haters Just live your life (Oh! ), 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)

[Rihanna] Now everybody watchin what I do Come walk in my shoes And see the way that I'm livin if you really want to I got my mind on my money and I'm not goin nowhere So keep on gettin yo paper(ah ah) And keep on climbin Look in the mirror And keep on shinin Til the game end Til the clock stop We gon' post up on the top spot Livin' the life, the life

In the brand new city Got my whole team with me Livin my life, my life I do it how I wanna do I'm livin' my life, my life I will never loose 'em Livin my life, my life And I'm not stoppin
