Rihanna - Live Your Life

You're gonna be a shining star
And fancy cars, 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, ay ay ay
You got no time for no interns
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 (ay), my life (oh)
My life (ay), my life (oh)
Just living my life (ay), my life (oh)
My life (ay), my life (oh)

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 ain't 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

You're gonna be a shining star
And fancy cars, 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
You got no time for no interns
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 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 'til
If that don't work and just fails
Then turn around and follow 'til
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 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 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?

Now everybody, what you wanna do
Come walk in ma shoes
And see the way I'm livin if you really want to
I got ma mind on my money
And I ain’t going no where
So keep on getting’ your paper
And keep on climbin’
Look in the mirror
And keep on shinin’
Till the game end
Till the clock stop
We're gonna post stuff on the top spot
I’m livin ma life (ma life)
Bring your city
Got ma whole team with me
I’m livin’ ma life (ma life)
I'll do it how I wanna do
I’m livin’ ma life (ma life)
I will never lose now
I’m livin’ ma life (ma life)
And I'm not stoppin’

So live your life
