[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 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)
[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
Safe to say I paved the way, for you cats to get paid today
You 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 love 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 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
[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 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

[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 by the collar quick
Whoever had problems, they reconcile 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 arguing
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 the poverty
Your values is in disarray, prioritizin horribly
Unhappy with the riches cause you piss poor morally
Ignoring all prior advice and forewarning
And we might be 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 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)

[Bridge - Rihanna]:

Got everybody watching 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 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 top spot
So live your life.

Ooo
Ooo

I’m waiting
For my moment to come
I’m waiting
For the movie to begin
I’m waiting
For a revelation
I’m waiting for someone
To count me in

Cause now
I only see my dreams
In everything I touch
Feel their cold hands on
Everything that I love
Cold like some
Magnificent skyline
Out of my reach
But always
In my eyeline now

We’re tumbling down
We’re spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We’re spiralling

I fashioned you
From jewels and stone
I made you
In the image of myself
I gave you
Everything you wanted
So you would never know
Anything else

But everytime
I reach for you
You slip
Through my fingers
Into cold sunlight
Laughing at the things
That I had planned
The map of my world gets
Smaller as I sit here
Pulling at the loose
Threads now

We’re tumbling down
We’re spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We’re spiralling

Did you wanna be a winner?
Did you wanna be an icon?
Did you wanna be famous?
Did you wanna be the president?
Did you wanna start a war?
Did you wanna have a family?
Did you wanna be in love?
Did you wanna be in love?
When we fall in love

We’re just falling
In love with ourselves
We’re spiralling
We’re tumbling down
We’re spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We’re spiralling

Ooo
Ooo

Are you a man who loves and cherishes and cares for me?
Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?
Are you a guard in a prison, maximum security?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
Do we stay home all the time ’cause you want me to yourself?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
Or am I locked away, out of fear that I’d find someone else
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?

(Chorus)
Well, I don’t like living under your spotlight
Just because you think I might find somebody worthy
Well, I don’t like living under your spotlight
Maybe if you treat me right, you won’t have to worry

Is this a relationship, fulfilling your needs as well as mine
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
Or is it just my sentence, am I doing time?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
If this is love, real, real love, then I’m staying no doubt
But if I’m just love’s prisoner, then I’m busting out
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?

(Chorus)

Oh, you oughta be ashamed of yourself
What the hell do you think you’re doing?
Loving me, loving me, so wrong
Baby, all I do is try
To show you that you’re my one and only guy
No matter who may come along
Open your eyes cuz baby I don’t lie

(Chorus x2)

Say my name, and his in the same breath, I

Dare you to say they taste the same,
Let the leaves fall off in the summer
And let December glow feel flames

Brace myself and let go,
Start it over again in Mexico
These friends, they don’t love you
They just love the hotel suites, now

[Chorus X2]
I don’t care what you think
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Oh, take a chance, let your body get a tolerance,
I’m not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants
Pull a breath like another cigarette,
Palms up, I’m trading ‘em (trading ‘em)

I’m the oracle in my chest,
Let the guitar scream like a fascist,
Sweat it out, shut your mouth,
Free love on the streets, but
In the alley and I ain’t that cheap, now

[Chorus X2]
I don’t care what you think,
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Said-a, I don’t care just a-what you think,
As long as it’s about me, you said-a
I don’t care just what you think,
As long as it’s about me, you said-a
I don’t care (I don’t care)
You said I don’t care (I don’t care)
Said I don’t care,
I don’t care
I don’t care (I don’t care), I said-a
I don’t care

[Chorus X2]
I don’t care what you think,
As long as it’s about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery…
