Never mind what
haters say, ignore
'em 'til they fade
away
Amazing they
ungreatful after all
the game I gave
away
Safe to say I paid
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 Maj
way
I never been a hater
still I love them in
a crazy way
Some say they sold
yah and no they
couldn't even work
on Labor day
It ain't that they
black or white,
their hands in areas
the shades of
grey
I'm west side
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
want to melt their
face away
Like I once made
them spray, now I
could make 'em put
the K's away
Been thugging all my
life, can't say I
don't deserve to
take a break
You would rather see
me catch a case and
watch my future fade
away
You're gonna be a
shining star
Your fancy clothes,
your fancy ca-ars
And then you'll see,
you're gonna go
far
'Cause everyone
knows who you
a-are
So live your life
(ay), ay ay ay
You steady chasing
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)
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
I'll grab a by the
collar quick
Whoever having
problems with their
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 and rappers
nowadays are
comically
The hooting and the
hollering, 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 when
depositing
Them checks into
your bank account
and you up out of
poverty
Your values is in
disarray,
prioritizing
horribly
Unhappy with the
riches 'cause you
piss poor morally
Ignoring all prior
advice and fore
warning
And we mighty full
of ourselves all of
a sudden, aren't
we?
You're gonna be a
shining star
Your fancy clothes,
your fancy ca-ars
And then you'll see,
you're gonna go
far
'Cause everyone
knows who you
a-are
So live your life
(ay), ay ay ay
You steady chasing
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)
Got everybody
watching what I
do
Come walk in my
shoes
And see the way I'm
living if you really
want to
Got my mind on my
money and I'm not
going nowhere
So keep on getting
your paper and keep
on climbing
Look in the mirror
and keep on
shining
'Till the game ends,
'till the clock
stops
We gon' post up on
the top spot
Living the life, the
life
In a brand new city
got my whole team
with me
The life, my life
I do what I wanna
do
I'm living my life,
my life
I will never
lose,
I'm living my life,
my life
And I'm not
stopping
So live your life! |
