Lyrics

0:11What you need to do is be thankful for the life that you got
0:19You know what I'm sayin'
0:20Stop lookin' at what you ain't got
0:22And start bein' thankful for what you do got
0:24Let's give it to 'em baby girl
0:25You're gonna be a shining star
0:26With fancy clothes and fancy ca-ars
0:29And then you'll see you're gonna go far
0:32'Cause everyone knows who you a-are
0:34So live your life (ay) ay ay ay
0:40Instead of chasing that paper
0:40Just live your life (oh) ay ay ay
0:46Ain't got no time for no haters
0:48Just live your life (ay) ay ay ay
0:51No telling where it'll take ya
0:53Just live your life (oh) ay ay ay
0:57'Cause I'm a paper chaser
0:58Just living my life (ay) my life (oh) my life (ay) my life (oh)
1:06Just living my life (ay) my life (oh) my life (ay) my life (oh)
1:12Never mind what haters say ignore 'em 'til they fade away
1:15Amazing they ungrateful after all the game I gave away
1:18Safe to say I paved the way for you cats to get paid today
1:22You'd still be wasting days away now had I never saved the day
1:24Consider them my protégé homage I think they should pay
1:27Instead of being gracious they violate in a major way
1:29I never been a hater still I love them in a crazy way
1:33Some say they sold yay and no they couldn't get work on Labor day
1:36It ain't that they black or white it has an area the shade of grey
1:39I'm west side anyway even if I left today and stayed away
1:42Some move away to make a way not move away 'cause they afraid
1:45I brought back to the hood and all you ever did was take away
1:48I pray for patience but they make me want to melt their face away
1:51Like I once made them spray now I could make 'em put the K's away
1:54Been thugging all my life can't say I don't deserve to take a break
1:57You would rather see me catch a case and watch my future fade away
2:00You're gonna be a shining star
2:01With fancy clothes and fancy ca-ars
2:05And then you'll see you're gonna go far
2:08'Cause everyone knows who you a-are
2:10So live your life (ay) ay ay ay
2:16Instead of chasing that paper
2:16Just live your life (oh) ay ay ay
2:21Ain't got no time for no haters
2:23Just live your life (ay) ay ay ay
2:28No telling where it'll take ya
2:29Just live your life (oh) ay ay ay
2:34'Cause I'm a paper chaser
2:34Just living my life (ay) my life (oh) my life (ay) my life (oh)
2:42Just living my life (ay) my life (oh) my life (ay) my life (oh)
2:48I'm the opposite of moderate
2:49Immaculately polished with the spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid
2:53Allergic to the counterfeit impartial to the politics
2:55Articulate but still I'll grab a ni**a by the collar quick
2:57Whoever having problems with their record sales just holla T I P
3:04If that don't work and all else fails then turn around and follow T I P
3:08I got love for the game but ay I'm not in love with all of it
3:12Could do without the fame and rappers nowadays are comedy
3:14The hooting and the hollering back and forth with the arguing
3:16Where you from who you know what you make and what kind of car you in
3:20Seems as though you lost sight of what's important when depositing
3:21Them checks into your bank account and you up out of poverty
3:23Your values is in disarray prioritizing horribly
3:25Unhappy with the riches 'cause you piss poor morally
3:26Ignoring all prior advice and fore warning
3:29And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden aren't we
3:34You're gonna be a shining star
3:36With fancy clothes and fancy ca-ars
3:37And then you'll see you're gonna go far
3:39'Cause everyone knows who you a-are
3:47So live your life (ay) ay ay ay
3:52Instead of chasing that paper
3:53Just live your life (oh) ay ay ay
3:57Ain't got no time for no haters
3:59Just live your life (ay) ay ay ay
4:03No telling where it'll take ya
4:05Just live your life (oh) ay ay ay
4:09'Cause I'm a paper chaser
4:11Just living my life (ay) my life (oh) my life (ay) my life (oh)
4:18Just living my life (ay) my life (oh) my life (ay) my life (oh)
4:24Got everybody watching what I do
4:25Come walk in my shoes
4:26And see the way I'm living if you really want to
4:30Got my mind on my money and I'm not going nowhere
4:33So keep on getting your paper and keep on climbing
4:38Look in the mirror and keep on shining
4:40'Till the game ends 'till the clock stops
4:44We gon' post up on the top spot
4:47Living the life the life
4:49In a brand new city got my whole team with me
4:54The life my life
4:57I do what I wanna do
4:59I'm living my life my life
5:06I will never lose
5:07I'm living my life my life
5:08And I'm not stopping
5:11So live your life!
