Livin' It Up
Ciara Lyrics

I don't believe in much but I believe in you
I don't have much faith in the world, but I trust and believe in you as a person

I don't believe I care, 'cause I don't follow rules
I don't conform to societal norms because I don't care what others think

I see a star so bright, no one could been that blind
I see potential in something or someone so great that it's impossible to miss

No one can crush you out but you
You are in control of your own success and happiness

Living on the world turning
Existing in this constantly changing world

I'ma be giving mine
I'll be contributing to the world in my own way

I'll be wrong if I don't try
If I don't take risks and try new things, I'll miss out on potential opportunities

I don't know when my next move is coming
I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but I'm prepared to adapt

All I know is I'll be running
I'll be constantly striving towards my goals and dreams

I'll be living up
I'll be living life to the fullest

I'll be throwing it up
I'll be putting myself out there and taking chances

Cause a girl's gonna do
I don't conform to gender stereotypes and will do what I want

Makin' up my own rules
I don't follow anyone else's guidelines, I make my own

I had my doubts in love but I know it's true
I used to have doubts about love but now I know it's real and possible for me

I don't have many friends, but I got you
I may not have many close relationships, but you are an important person in my life

You are a walking don, you are a secret gone
You have a confident, powerful presence and something unique and special about you

Something no one can take from you
Your strengths and qualities are inherent and cannot be taken away

I told cici I was getting her
I promised to support and encourage Ciara

I told the bitches can't see her no retina
I told other women they can't compare to Ciara's greatness

I told her if you go in there's no letting up
I told her to keep pushing and striving for her dreams without giving up

See they could kick you while you're down but you're getting up
Others may try to bring you down, but you have the strength to get back up

See ain't a man that could block what god bless
No one can get in the way of what is meant for you by a higher power

So if a chick wanna try she a hot mess
If someone tries to compete with Ciara, they will fail and look foolish

This one is for the girls making progress
This song is dedicated to all the women who are making strides towards their goals

See I'm a monster, no I'm not a lochness
I have a fierce, unstoppable drive towards success

Put my, put my, put my work ethic damn in that lock next
My strong work ethic is my key to success

That's why this little Trini girl get the top checks
My hard work and dedication pays off and gets me to the top

Went from watching niggas cook up in the Pyrex
I came from humble beginnings and have worked hard to get where I am

But now I rock jets, meetings with the top reps
Now I am successful and have meetings with top industry professionals

I'ma live life to the fullest
I am determined to make the most out of my life

I'll be speeding like a bullet
I'll be moving quickly and efficiently towards my goals

I'll be rolling like a train
I'll be consistently making progress and moving forward

I'll be dancing in the rain
I'll be embracing life and enjoying every moment

Ola-ola, eh
A fun, catchy chorus repeated throughout the song
