[VERSE 1 - T.I.]
Hey, 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 protegè, 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 know they couldn't get work on Labor day
It ain't that black and white, it has an area that's shaded gray
I'm west side anyway, even if I left the game 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 want to melt they face away
Like I once made them spray, now I could make put the taze away
Been thuggin' all my life, can't say I don't deserve to take a break
You rather see me catch a case, and watch my future fade away
[CHORUS - Rihanna]
(Hey! Yeah!) You're gonna be a shining star
(That's right! Yeah!) Fancy clothes
(Okay! Yeah!) And fancy ca-ars (hey, hey, hey, yeah)
And then you'll see (See! Yeah!)
You're gonna go far (Go! Hey!)
Cause everyone knows (They know! Hey!)
Just who you a-are (Okay now)
So live your life, (Hey! a-ay a-ay a-ay)
You steady chasing that paper
Just live your life (Oh! a-ay a-ay a-ay)
Ain't got no time for no haters
Just live your life (Hey! a-ay a-ay a-ay)
No telling where it'll take ya
Just live your life (Oh! a-ay a-ay a-ay)
Cause I'm a paper chaser

My life (Oh!) (Ma ya hoo)
My life (Ay!) (Ma ya ha ha)

[VERSE 2 - 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 having problems wit 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
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 with the positive
And checks into your bank account, and you up out of poverty
Your values is a disarray, prioritizin' horribly
Unhappy with your riches 'cause you piss poor morally
Ignoring all prior advice and forewarnin'
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, aren't we?
[CHORUS - Rihanna]
(Hey! Yeah!) You're gonna be a shining star
(That's right! Yeah!) Fancy clothes
(Okay! Yeah!) And fancy ca-ars (hey, hey, hey, yeah)
And then you'll see (See! Yeah!)
You're gonna go far (Go! Yeah!)
Cause everyone knows (They know, Hey!)
Just who you a-are (Okay now)
Live your life, (Hey! a-ay a-ay a-ay)
You steady chasing that paper
Just live your life (Oh! a-ay a-ay a-ay)
Ain't got no time for no haters
Just live your life (Hey! a-ay a-ay a-ay)
No telling where it'll take ya
Just live your life (Oh! a-ay a-ay a-ay)
Cause I'm a paper chaser
Just livin' my life (Ay) (Ma ya hee)
My life (Oh!) (Ma ya haa)
My life (Ay!) (Ma ya hoo)
My life (Oh!) (Ma ya ha ha)
Just livin' my life (Ma ya hee)
My life (Ay!) (Ma ya haa)
My life (Oh!) (Ma ya hoo)
My life (Ay!) (Ma ya ha ha)
Just livin' my life (Oh!)
[VERSE 3 - Rihanna]
Got everybody watching 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' away
So keep on gettin' 'ya paper (Ah)
And keep on climbin' (Ah)
Look in the mirror
And keep on shinin' (shinin')
'Til the game ends
'Til the clock stop
We gon' post up on the top spot
Livin' my life (Ma ya hee) (My life)
My life (Ma ya haa) (My life)
Got a brand new CD (Maya hoo, Ma ya ha ha)
Got my whole team livin' life (Ma ya hee) (My life)
My life (Ma ya haa) (My life)
I do it how I wanna do (Ma ya hoo)
I'm livin' my life (My life)
My life (My life)
I will never lose
I'm livin' my life
My life
And I'm not stoppin'
