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 I'm sayin?
Stop lookin' at what you ain't got
And start being thankful for what you do got
Let's give it to 'em baby girl, hey (hey)
You're gonna be, a shinin' star
In fancy clothes, and fancy cars
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows, just who ya are
So live your life (hey, ayy, ayy, ayy)
You steady chasin' that paper, just live your life
(Oh, ayy ayy ayy)
Ain't got no time for no haters, just live your life
(Hey, ayy ayy ayy)
No tellin' where it'll take ya, just live your life
(Oh, ayy ayy ayy)
'Cause I'm a paper chaser, just livin' my life
(Ayy) my life (oh) my life (ayy) my life (oh)
Just livin' my life (ay) my life (oh)
My life (ayy) 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
You'd still be wastin' days away now had I never saved the day
Consider them my protégé, 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 couldn't get work on Labor Day
It ain't that black and white, it has an area the shade of gray
I'm 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 K's away
Been thuggin' all my life, can't say I don't deserve to take a break
You'd rather see me catch a case and watch my future fade away
You're gonna be, a shinin' star
In fancy clothes, and fancy cars
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows, just who ya are
So live your life (hey, ayy, ayy, ayy)
You steady chasin' that paper, just live your life
(Oh, ayy ayy ayy)
Ain't got no time for no haters, just live your life
(Hey, ayy ayy ayy)
No tellin' where it'll take ya, just live your life
(Oh, ayy ayy ayy)
'Cause I'm a paper chaser, just livin' my life
(Ayy) my life (oh) my life (ayy) my life (oh)
Just livin' my life (ay) my life (oh)
My life (ayy) my life (oh) just livin' my life
I'm the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished with
The spirit of a hustla and the swagger of a college kid
Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics
Articulate, but still'll grab a nigga by the collar quick
Whoever havin' problems with their record sales just holler Tip
If that don't work and all else fails then turn around and follow Tip
I got love for the game, but ayy I'm 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 what's 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 you're piss poor morally
Ignorin' all prior advice and forewarnin'
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, aren't we?
You're gonna be, a shinin' star
In fancy clothes, and fancy cars
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows, just who ya are
So live your life (hey, ayy, ayy, ayy)
You steady chasin' that paper, just live your life
(Oh, ayy ayy ayy)
Ain't got no time for no haters, just live your life
(Hey, ayy ayy ayy)
No tellin' where it'll take ya, just live your life
(Oh, ayy ayy ayy)
'Cause I'm a paper chaser, just livin' my life
(Ayy) my life (oh) my life (ayy) my life (oh)
Just livin' my life (ay) my life (oh)
My life (ayy) my life (oh) just livin' my life
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'
Look in the mirror, and keep on shinin' (shinin')
'Til 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
I'm livin' my life, my life
I will never lose
I'm livin' my life, my life
And I'm not stoppin'
So live your life, your life, your life

Ignore the haters and be grateful for those who have helped you along the way. Remember those who paved the way for you to succeed and pay homage. Don't be afraid to leave a negative situation and make your own way. Always be willing to give back and help those who helped you, but don't tolerate those who take advantage of your kindness.
