T.I. feat Rihanna - Live Your Life Lyrics
Rihanna
You’re gonna be a shining star, fancy clothes, fancy car-ars.
And then you’ll see, you’re gonna go far.
Cause everyone knows, who you are-are.
So live your life, ay ay ay.
Instead of chasing that paper.
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
Ain’t got no time for no haters.
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
No telling where it’ll take you.
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
Cause I’m a paper chaser.
Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh)
Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh)
T.I.
Nevermind what haters say, ignore them ’til they fade away.
Amazing they ungreat for after all the games I gave away.
Safe to say I paved the way, for you can’t get paid today.
You still be wasting days away, nah had I never saved the day.
Consider them my protégé, how much I think they should pay.
Instead of being gracious, they violated and made you wait.
I never been a hater still I love them, yeah I graze the way.
Some say they so yay and no they couldn’t even work on Labor day.
It aint that they black or white, their hands of area in shades of grey.
I’m West side anyway, even if I left the day it fades away.
Some move away to make a way not move away cause they afraid.
I’ll go back to the hood and all you ever did was hate away.
I pray for patience but they make me want to face away.
Like I once made them scream, now I could make them plead their case away.
Been thuggin’ all my life, can’t say I don’t deserve to take a break.
If you ever see me catch a case, and watch my future fade away.
Rihanna
You’re gonna be a shining star, fancy clothes, fancy car-ars.
And then you’ll see, you’re gonna go far.
Cause everyone knows, who you are-are.
So live your life, ay ay ay.
Instead of chasing that paper.
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
Ain’t got no time for no haters
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
No telling where it’ll take you.
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
Cause I’m a paper chaser.
Just living my life.
T.I.
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 grab a nigga by the collar quick.
Whoever had problems, they reckonsile they just holla ‘tip.
If that don’t work and just fails, then turn around and follow ‘tip.
I got love for the game but ay I’m not in love with all of it.
I do without the fame and the rappers nowadays are comedy.
The hootin’ and the hollerin’, back and forth with the argueing.
Where you from, who you know, what you make and what kind of car you in.
Seems as though you lost sight of whats important with the positive.
And checks until your bank account, and you’re about poverted.
Your values is a disarrayed, prioritized are horribly.
Unhappy with the riches cause you pis-pone morraly.
Ignoring all prior advice and fore warning.
And we might be full of ourselves all of a sudden aren’t we?
Rihanna
You’re gonna be a shining star, fancy clothes, fancy car-ars.
And then you’ll see, you’re gonna go far.
Cause everyone knows, who you are-are.
So live your life, ay ay ay.
Instead of chasing that paper.
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
Ain’t got no time for no haters
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
No telling where it’ll take you.
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
Cause I’m a paper chaser.
Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh)
Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life (oh)
So live your life.

October 4th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
it’s such a plagiat! There is already a song with the same beginning. Romanian band have sang it 2 years ago. Such a shame.
October 4th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
it’s such a plagiat! There is already a song with the same beginning. Romanian band have sang it 2 years ago. Such a shame.
Just listen this song O-zone - Dragostea din tei (numa numa). The beginning of the song is the same. I like the version of T.I., but when I heard this song for the first time, it was so WILD for me that singers like T.I. and Rihanna took over some part of not so popular moldovian band’s single (the song is in Romanian).

October 12th, 2008 at 4:47 am
uh… f.y.i. if you listen to the song very closly, Rhianna says, fifth line in the chorus “Instead of chasing that paper.” That is in correct and doesnt make any sence because she then says ” i’m a paper chaser.” The correct line is “YOU STEADY CHASING THAT PAPER”.
October 14th, 2008 at 2:46 am
this song is really cool.i fell in love with it immediately i heard it.it contains all the right stuffs.kudos to ti and rihanna.

October 20th, 2008 at 9:53 am
This is a Windows Movie Maker Project, or some sort of video building program, because they’re not even singing to the song, it’s all from diffrent songs, so sorry better luck next time
October 20th, 2008 at 11:14 am
The best song ti is the only rapper that says actuall real word not bru and muo and crap he says the real words he is like the best rapper and speaks the truth
October 20th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
m luvin’ it byg tym!!! T.I z the man!!!
October 21st, 2008 at 4:51 am
Ok the lyrics are wrong……… like the line about poverty in the second verse that TI is rapping in…… its supposed to say “seems as though you lost sight of whats important when depositing, them checks into your bank account and your up out of poverty” he’s sayin that all the money and depositing checks has caused them to be distracted from whats important… read it the way it is on this site and all the others. Does that even make sense??? no…. its funny how every site says that and no one figured it out…. start the movement to fix it lol
October 21st, 2008 at 6:19 am

L.L baby it really good theres more song i like but it will just take forever
bye xxx
October 25th, 2008 at 12:53 am
Uh, everyone knows that that’s the Dragostea din tei tune (numa numa), duh. I’m sure they got permission to use it. It’s not a sample from the actual tune anyway, the words are out of order.
And, if they didn’t ask permission, not surprising. It’s a rap song.
The world is full of injustices, sniff sniff.
October 25th, 2008 at 4:15 am
omg i love this song && video.!!! T.I. is so fine not even playin.and rhanna is the shizzz!!! thatss right just live yourrr life as best as you cann ppl…. live it up

guys i`m romanian, the song belongs to o-zone a romanian band (the main singer wrote it,his name is Dan Balan and he owns it) ,they are already famous for it but Dan sold it to rihanna and ti so nobody stole it. i love the romanian song,without it “live your life” would be nothing. Anyway, Rihanna and TI made it amazing i loooooooooove it their way
p.s.” O-zone is not a band anymore …the main singer Dan Balan is on his own now and he is called Crazy Loop …check it out
