Both together

What you need to do

is be thankful for the life

that you got you know

what I'm sayin'?

Stop lookin' at

what you ain't got

and start bein' thankful

for what you do got let's

give it to 'em baby girl

You're gonna be

a shining star

with fancy clothes

and fancy cars

And then you'll see

you're gonna go far

'cause everyone knows

just who you are

So live your life

ay ay ay

instead of chasing

that paper

Just live your life

ay ay ay

Ain't got no time

for no haters

just live your life

ay ay ay

No telling where

it'll take you

just live your life

ay ay ay

'Cause I'm a paper chaser

just living my life,

my life, my life, my life

Just living my life,

my life, my life, my life

just living my life

Never mind what

haters say

ignore 'em 'til

they fade away

Amazing they ungrateful

after all the game

I gave away

Safe to say

I paid the way

for you cats

to get paid today

You'd still be wasting days

away now had I never

saved the day

Consider them my protege

homage I think they

should pay

Instead of being gracious

they violate in a

major way

I never been a hater

still I love them

in a crazy way

Some say they sold

yeah you know they

couldn't get work

on Labour Day

It ain't that black

and white

their hands in areas

the shades of grey

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

want to melt

their face away

Like I once made

them 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 would rather see me

catch a case and

watch my future

fade away

You're gonna be

a shining star

with fancy clothes

and fancy cars

And then you'll see

you're gonna go far

'cause everyone knows

just who you are

So live your life

ay ay ay

instead of chasing

that paper

Just live your life

ay ay ay

Ain't got no time

for no haters

just live your life

ay ay ay

No telling where

it'll take you

just live your life

ay ay ay

'Cause I'm a paper chaser

just living my life,

my life, my life, my life

Just living my life,

my life, my life, my life

just living my life

I'm the opposite

of moderate

immaculately polished

With the spirit of a hustler

and the swagger

of a college kid

Allergic to the counterfeit

impartial to the politics

articulate, but still would

graba n***a by the

collar quick

Whoever havin' problems

would they reconcile

just holla 'til

if that don't work

and all else fails

Then turn around

and follow 'til

I got love for the game

but hey, 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 arguing

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

with the positive

And cheques into

your bank account

ain't you about the

poverty?

Your values is in disarray

prioritizin' horribly

unhappy with the riches

'cause you p**s-poor

morally

Ignoring all prior advice

and fore warning

and we mighty full

of ourselves all of

a sudden aren't we?

You're gonna be

a shining star

with fancy clothes

and fancy cars

And then you'll see

you're gonna go far

'cause everyone knows

just who you are

So live your life

ay ay ay

instead of chasing

that paper

Just live your life

ay ay ay

Ain't got no time

for no haters

just live your life

ay ay ay

No telling where

it'll take you

just live your life

ay ay ay

'Cause I'm a paper chaser

just living my life,

my life, my life, my life

Just living my life,

my life, my life, my life

Now everybody watchin'

what I do

come walk in my shoes

And see the way I'm living

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 shining

Till the game end

till the clock stop

we go'n post up

on the top spot

Living the life, the life

got my brand new city

got my whole team

with me

the life, my life

I do it how I wanna do

I'm living my life, my life

I will never lose

I'm living my life, my life

and I'm not stopping

So live your life
