Seems as though you lost sight of what's important when depositin' The cheques into your bank account and you up out of poverty Your values is a disarray, prioritizin' horribly Unhappy with the riches 'cause your piss poor morally Ignoring all prior advice and fore warnin' And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden aren't we? You're gonna be (Ayy), a shinin' star (that's right) In fancy clothes, and fancy cars (hey, hey, hey, yeah) And then you'll see, you're gonna go far 'Cause everyone knows(they know) just who ya are(ok know) So live your life (Ay-ay-ay-ay) You steady chasin' that paper Just live your life (Oh! Ay-ay-ay-ay) Ain't got no time for no haters Just live your life (Ay-ay-ay-ay) No tellin' where it'll take ya Just live your life (Oh! Ay-ay-ay-ay) Cause I'm a paper chaser Just livin' my life (ay) my life (Oh) (My life, my life ah) My life (ay) my life (Oh) (my life oh, my life, ah-ah) Just livin' my life (ay) my life (Oh) (My life, my life ah) My life (ay) my life (Oh) (my life oh, my life, ah-ah) 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') Until 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'll never stop it My life, my life ah,my life oh, my life ah-ah My life, my life ah,my life oh, my life ah-ah My life, my life ah,my life oh, my life ah-ah My life, my life ah,my life oh, my life ah-ah So live your life(your life, your life your life)
