[Chorus - 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 wewe 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)
[Verse 1 - T.I.]:
Never mind what haters say, ignore them 'til they fade away
Amazing they ungrateful after all the game I gave away
salama to say I paved the way, for wewe Cats to get paid today
wewe still be wasting days away, nah had I never saved the day
Consider them my protégé, homage I think they should pay
Instead of being gracious, they violated in a major way
I never been a hater still I upendo them, in a crazy way
Some say they so yay and no they couldn't even work on Labor Day
It ain't that they black au white, their hands of area in shades of grey
I'm west side anyway, even if I left the siku it fades away
Some songesha away to make a way not songesha away cause they afraid
I'll go back to the kofia and all wewe ever did was take away
I pray for patience but they make me want to melt they face away
Like I once made them scream, now I could make them put the K's away
Been thuggin' all my life, can't say I don't deserve to take a break
If wewe ever see me catch a case, and watch my future fade away
[Chorus - 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 wewe 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
[Verse 2 - 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 kwa the collar, alama quick
Whoever havin problems with they record sales just holla Tip
If that don't work and all else fail, then turn around and follow Tip
I got upendo for the game but ay I'm not in upendo with all of it
Could do without the fame and rappers nowadays a comedy
The hootin' and the hollerin', back and forth with the arguing
Where wewe from, who wewe know, what wewe make and what kind of car wewe in
Seems as though wewe Lost sight of whats important when depositing
checks into your bank account, and wewe up out of poverty
Your values is in disarray, prioritizin horribly
Unhappy with the riches cause wewe piss poor morally
Ignoring all prior advice and forewarning
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden aren't we?
[Chorus - 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 wewe 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)
[Bridge - Rihanna]:
Got everybody watching what I do
Come walk in my shoes
And see the way I'm living if wewe really want to
Got my mind on my money
And I'm not going nowhere
So keep on getting your paper and keep on climbing
Look in the mirror and keep on shining
Till the game end, till the clock stop
We gonna post up on the juu spot
Livin my life, my life
Brand new city, got my whole team with me
My life, my life

I'm livin my life, my life
I will never lose now
Livin my life, my life
And I'm not stoppin
So live your life.
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 wewe 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)
