Ey, this is special whats happenin to all my
All my all my soldiers over there in Iraq
Everybody right here,
What you need to do is be thankful
For the life you got, you know what Im sayin?
Stop lookin at what you aint got
And start being thankful for what you do got
Lets give it to em baby girl
Youre gonna be, a shinin star
In fancy clothes, and fancy cars
And then youll see, youre gonna go far
Cause everyone knows, just who ya are
So live your life (Hey! Ay ay ay)
You steady chasin that paper, just live your life
(Oh! Ay ay ay)
Aint got no time for no haters, just live your life
(Hey! Ay ay ay)
No tellin where itll take ya, just live your life
(Oh! Ay ay ay)
Cause Im a paper chaser, just livin my life
(Ay) my life (Oh) My life (Ay) my life (Oh)
Just livin my life (Ay) my life (Oh)
My life (Ay) my life (Oh) just livin my life
Hey, never mind what haters say
Ignore em til they fade away
Amazin they ungrateful
After all the game I gave away
Safe to say I paved the way
For you cats to get paid today
Youd still be wastin days away
Now had I never saved the day
Consider them my protege
Homage I think they should pay
Instead of bein 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 couldnt get work on Labor Day
It aint that black and white
It has an area the shade of gray
Im 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 Ks away
Been thuggin all my life
Cant say I dont deserve to take a break
Youd rather see me catch a case and watch my future fade away
Youre gonna be, a shinin star
In fancy clothes, and fancy cars
And then youll see, youre gonna go far
Cause everyone knows, just who ya are
So live your life (Hey! Ay ay ay)
You steady chasin that paper, just live your life
(Oh! Ay ay ay)
Aint got no time for no haters, just live your life
(Hey! Ay ay ay)
No tellin where itll take ya, just live your life
(Oh! Ay ay ay)
Cause Im a paper chaser, just livin my life
(Ay) my life (Oh) My life (Ay) my life (Oh)
Just livin my life (Ay) my life (Oh)
My life (Ay) my life (Oh) just livin my life
Im 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 stillll grab a nigga by the collar quick
Whoever havin problems
With their record sales just holler TIP
If that dont work and all else fails
Then turn around and follow TIP
I got love for the game
But ay Im not in love with all of it
Could do without the fame
And 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 whats important when depositin
Them checks into your bank account
And you up out of poverty
Your values is a disarray, prioritizin horribly
Unhappy with the riches
Cause youre piss poor morally
Ignorin all prior advice and forewarnin
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, arent we?
Youre gonna be, a shinin star
In fancy clothes, and fancy cars
And then youll see, youre gonna go far
Cause everyone knows, just who ya are
So live your life (Hey! Ay ay ay)
You steady chasin that paper, just live your life
(Oh! Ay ay ay)
Aint got no time for no haters, just live your life
(Hey! Ay ay ay)
No tellin where itll take ya, just live your life
(Oh! Ay ay ay)
Cause Im a paper chaser, just livin my life
(Ay) my life (Oh) My life (Ay) my life (Oh)
Just livin my life (Ay) my life (Oh)
My life (Ay) my life (Oh)
Got everybody watchin what I do
Come walk in my shoes
And see the way Im livin if you really want to
Got my mind on my money
And Im not goin away
So keep on gettin your paper, and keep on climbin
Look in the mirror, and keep on shinin (Shinin)
Until the game ends, til 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
Im livin my life, my life
I will never lose
Im livin my life, my life
And Ill never stop it
