Ay, this a special what's happenin' to all my, all my soldiers over there in Iraq
Everybody right here, what you need to do is to be thankful for the life you got, you know what I'm sayin'
Stop lookin' at what you ain't got, start bein' thankful for what you do got
Let's give it to 'em, baby girl
[Rihanna]
You're gonna be a shining star
With fancy clothes and fancy cars
And then you see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows who you are (Rihanna, let's get it)
So live your life (Hey) 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 (Hey) Ay-ay-ay
No telling where it'll take ya
Just live your life (Oh) Ay-ay-ay)
Cause I'm a paper chaser
yo yo peeps listen up to me right now!
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 Yeah Yeah What?
[T.I.]
Nevermind what haters say, ignore 'em '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 wastin' 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 'em in a crazy way
Some say they sold the yay, and no, they couldn't get work on Labor Day
It ain't that black or white, it has an area the shade of gray
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 wanna melt they face away
Like I once made 'em spray, now I couldnever ever but always make them put the K's away
Been doin' ballet all my life, can't say I don't do my plietts to take a break
You rather see me catch a case, then watch my being so good at ballet fade away fade away wooh!
[Rihanna]
You're gonna be a shining star
With fancy clothes and fancy cars
And then you see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows who you are
So live your life (Hey) 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 (Hey) 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 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
[T.I.]
I'm the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished with
The spirit of a hustler and the swagga of a college kid
Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics
Articulate but still'd grab a nigga by the collar quick
Whoever havin' problems with 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, and rappers nowadays are comical
The hootin' and the hollerin,' back and forth with the arguin'
"Where you from, who you know, what you makin,' what kind of car you in?"
Seems as though you lost sight of what's important when depositin'
Them checks into ya bank account, and you've up out of poverty
Your values is in disarrayed, prioritizin' horribly
Unhappy with the riches 'cause you're piss-poor morally
Ignorin' all prior advice and forewarnin'
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 cars
And then you see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows who you are
So live your life (Hey) 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 (Hey) 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 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 I'm livin,' if you really want to
Got my mind on my money, and I'm not goin' away
So keep on gettin' your paper, and keep on climbin'
And 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, my life
In a brand new city, got my whole team wit' me
The life, my life, I do what I wanna do
I'm livin' my life, my life, and I will never lose
I'm livin' my life, my life, and I’m not stopping
So live your life

Hey, Jim
You know the old sugar daddies
They be trickin,' they tell them girls
I said, you can have whatever you like (You like)
I said, you can have whatever you like (You like, yeah)
Stacks on deck, Patrón on ice
And we can pop bottles all night
And baby, you can have whatever you like (You like)
I said, you can have whatever you like (You like, yeah)
Late night sex, so wet and so tight
I gas up the jet for you tonight
And baby, you can go wherever you like (You like)
I said, you can go wherever you like (You like, yeah)
Any time you want to pick up the telephone, you
Know it ain't nothin' to drop a couple stacks on you
Want it? You can get it, my dear
5 million dollar homes, drop Bentleys I swear
Yeah, I want your body, need your body
Long as you got me, you won't need nobody
You want it, I got it, go get it, I buy it
Tell them other broke niggas, "be quiet"
Stacks on deck, Patrón on ice
And we can pop bottles all night
And baby, you can have whatever you like (You like)
I said, you can have whatever you like (You like, yeah)
Late night sex, so wet and so tight
I gas up the jet for you tonight
And baby, you can go wherever you like (You like)
I said, you can go wherever you like (You like, yeah)
Shawty you the hottest, love the way you drop it
Brain's so good, I s'pose you went to college
$100k deposit, vacations in the tropics
Everybody know it ain't trickin' if ya got it
And ya ain't never ever gotta go in your wallet
Long as I got rubberband banks in my pocket
5'6", drives with rims and a body kit
Ya ain't gotta downgrade, you can get what I got
My chick can have what she want
And go in any store, buy any bag she want
I noticed you ain't never had a man like that
To buy you anything your heart desires like that
Yeah, I want your body, need your body
Long as you got me, you won't need nobody
You want it, I got it, go get it, I buy it
Tell them other broke niggas, "be quiet"
Stacks on deck, Patrón on ice
And we can pop bottles all night
And baby, you can have whatever you like (You like)
I said, you can have whatever you like (You like, yeah)
Late night sex, so wet and so tight
I gas up the jet for you tonight
And baby, you can go wherever you like (You like)
I said, you can go wherever you like (You like, yeah)
I'm talkin' big boy rides and big boy ice
Let me put this big boy in your life
The thang gets so wet and hit so right
Let me put this big boy in your life, that's right
I want your body, need your body
Long as you got me, you won't need nobody
You want it, I got it, go get it, I buy it
Tell them other broke niggas, "be quiet"
Stacks on deck, Patrón on ice
And we can pop bottles all night
And baby, you can have whatever you like (You like)
I said, you can have whatever you like (You like, yeah)
Late night sex, so wet and so tight
I gas up the jet for you tonight
And baby, you can go wherever you like (You like)
I said, you can go wherever you like (You like, yeah)
Hey, Jim
