Lyrical Breakdown of My Life Your Entertainment - A Journey through Words and Rhymes

T.I.

Drama

Ursher baby

Hey, hey (yeah man)

Hey what's happening everybody

I hope they get my good side

You know I gotta look good when I walk out the house

You know I know the camera's following (me to)

I know they taking pictures, right Drama

Hey man, you watch it I live it, you dig that

Y'all sit back relax get some popcorn man

I'm gonna make it a good show, you dig that

(Are you not entertained?)

This going make a hell of a movie huh

My life, your entertainment

You watch it while I live it (live it)

I walk they follow (ay)

I talk they holler (ay)

Just here for your amusement

My life, your entertainment

You watch it while I live it (live it)

You waiting for me to lose it

I guess I'm just here for your amusement

Ay

The price of fame I think I paid, want my change I done gave

Everything in my possession for my seconds on the stage

For my name up in lights and multi-million record sales

I done gave up my life, can't get a moment to myself

When alone I ask myself, is it worth it? I ain't perfect

Neither is anybody else, but I think my kids deserve

To be with Daddy out in public without all the interruptions

When the lies and gossip's published I'm the topic of discussion

And I stay in trouble just to show these suckers I ain't lost it

And I'd do it all again that's the funny thing about it

I ain't playing, boy I'm 'bout it

Will I change, boy I doubt it

I done been a lot of things, I ain't never been a coward

See the paparazzi crowded all around me now

Same niggas who was dissing want a pound like I'm senile (fuck nigga)

Showered with support from my adoring fans

They hear T.I.'s arrested they're like here we go again

My life, your entertainment

You watch it while I live it (live it)

I walk they follow (ay)

I talk they holler (ay)

Just here for your amusement (my life)

My life, your entertainment (entertainment)

You watch it while I live it (live it) (whoa)

You waiting for me to lose it (whoa)

I guess I'm just here for your amusement (yeah)

You've seen it all before, guys know how the story goes

It's like 2Pac never died, sit back, enjoy the show

You see the shit that scares you senseless, I done lived through it

Knew the risks and the consequences and I still do it

And then I'm so fresh, them niggas mildew it

Not just a actor by profession, pimp, I live movies

That's why they whisper when they see me point and stare at me

Cause they just wanna live through me vicariously (vicariously)

Fashion weekend, Paris week, party like a rock star

Get blown by a top model till she catch lockjaw

Got the dough you get a year, stashed in my sock drawer

Showed you the troubles and the struggles of an outlaw

Top dog would not fall, I am not y'all (niggas)

Couple pages out the calendar and I'm out y'all

Kid listen, pay attention, you don't wanna be me

It's safer to watch it on T.V.

My life, your entertainment (entertainment)

You watch it while I live it (live it)

I walk they follow (ay)

I talk they holler (ay)

Just here for your amusement

My life, your entertainment

You watch it while I live it (live it)

You waiting for me to lose it (lose it)

I guess I'm just here for your amusement (yeah)

See I don't think it would even matter (to me)

Working a nine to (five) would it be better

I mean be honest, would you care to gossip about me ('bout me)

Not likely

I guess that's just the way that it goes (the way that it goes)

('Cause I know) See I can be somewhere out keeping it cool

(And get told) Almost anything instead of the truth

Y'all know more than I do, it's breaking news to me too

Easy killer y'all know that ain't how I move (ooh)

He said and she said (what) I did what, with they (who)

No not me I said (not me) she gave me no head (ooh)

Won't get me again (hey) I pleaded the fifth (hey)

I know better than to ever talk during the film

Man them flashing lights can blind your eyesight

To when you can't see what's wrong from right

Well shorty 'til you walk a mile in my shoes

And understand this is who I am

Usher I completely concur

Life would be such a blur, obviously we prefer

Our privacy but instead we endure

Yes sir, don't expect nothing less of me

Cause this going probably be this way until the death of me

But for the hustle and the lady on my arm now

Plus all my kids and my mom's I'm a calm down

And yo, we doing just fine, and the time's just flying

Live one headline at a time

Ya dig

My life, your entertainment

You watch it while I live it (live it)

I walk they follow (ay)

I talk they holler (ay)

Just here for your amusement

My life, your entertainment

You watch it while I live it (live it)

You waiting for me to lose it

I guess I'm just here for your amusement
