Let's give it to [C7]'em [A]baby girl, hey

You're gonna be [Am]a shinin' star
In fancy clothes and [Bm]fancy cars
And then you'll see you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows just who you [A7are

So live your life

Just livin' my [A]life

Hey, never mind what haters say
Ignore 'em [A]'til they fade away
Amazin' they ungrateful
After all [Em]the game I gave away

Safe to [C7]say I paved the way
For you [A7cats to [C7]get paid today
You still be [Am]wastin' days away
Now had I never saved the day

Consider them [A]my [A]protégé
Homage I think they should pay
Instead of bein' gracious
They violate in a major way

I never been a hater
Still I love 'em [A]in a crazy way
Some say they sold the yay'
And know they couldn't get work on [C7]Labor Day

It ain't that black and [Bm]white
It has an area the shade of gray
I'm Westside anyway
Even if I left today and [Bm]stayed away

Some move away to [C7]make a way
Not move away 'cause they afraid
I brought back to [C7]the hood
And all [Em]you [A7ever did was [Am7]take away

I pray for [Dm7]patience but they
Make me wanna melt they face away
Like I once made 'em [A]spray
Now I could make 'em [A]put the K's away

Been thuggin' all [Em]my [A]life
Can't say I don't deserve to [C7]take a break
You'd ɾather see me catch a case
And watch my [A]future fade away

You're gonna be [Am]a shinin' star
In fancy clothes and [Bm]fancy cars
And then you'll see you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows just who you [A7are

So live your life
(Hey, ayy, ayy, ayy)
You steady chasin' that paper
Just live your life
(Oh, ayy, ayy, ayy)

Ain't got [Fm7]no time for [Dm7]no haters
Just live your life
(Hey, ayy, ayy, ayy)
No tellin' where it'll take ya

My life
(Oh)

Just livin' my [A]life
(Hey)
My life
(Oh)

My life
(Hey)
My life
(Oh)
Just livin' my [A]life

I'm the opposite of moderate
Immaculately polished
With the spirit of a hustler
And the swagger of a college kid

Allergic to [C7]the counterfeit
Impartial to [C7]the politics
Articulate, but still'll
Grab a nigga by the collar quick

Whoever havin' problems with
Their ɾecord sales just hollow tip
If that don't work and [Bm]all [Em]else fails
Then turn around and [Bm]follow Tip

I got [Fm7]love for [Dm7]the game
But ay, I'm not in love with all [Em]of it
Could do without the fame
And ɾappers nowadays are comedy

The hootin' and [Bm]the hollerin'
Back and [Bm]forth with the arguin'
Where you [A7from? Who you [A7know?
What you [A7make? And what kind of car you [A7in?

Seems as though you [A7lost sight
Of what's important when depositin'
Them [A]checks into [C7]your bank account
And you [A7up out of poverty

Your values is a disarray prioritizin' horribly
Unhappy with the ɾiches 'cause you're piss poor morally
Ignorin' all [Em]prior advice and [Bm]forewarnin'
And we mighty full of ourselves
All of a sudden, aren't we?

You're gonna be [Am]a shinin' star
In fancy clothes and [Bm]fancy cars
And then you'll see you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows just who you [A7are

So live your life
(Hey, ayy, ayy, ayy)
You steady chasin' that paper
Just live your life
(Oh, ayy, ayy, ayy)

Ain't got [Fm7]no time for [Dm7]no haters
Just live your life
(Hey, ayy, ayy, ayy)
No tellin' where it'll take ya
Just live your life
(Oh, ayy, ayy, ayy)

'Cause I'm a paper chaser
Just livin' my [A]life
(Hey)
My life
(Oh)

My life
(Hey)
My life
(Oh)

Just livin' my [A]life
(Hey)
My life
(Oh)

My life
(Hey)
My life
(Oh)

Got everybody watchin' what I do
Come walk in my [A]shoes
And see the way I'm livin'
If you [A7ɾeally want to
Got my [A]mind on [C7]my [A]money
And I'm not goin' away

So keep on [C7]gettin' your paper and [Bm]keep on [C7]climbin'
Look in the mirror and [Bm]keep on [C7]shinin'
'Til the game ends, 'til the clock stop
We gon' post up on [C7]the top spot

Livin' the life, the life
In the Windmill City
Got my [A]whole team with me
The life, my [A]life
I do it how I wanna do

I'm livin' my [A]life, my [A]life
I will never lose
I'm livin' my [A]life, my [A]life
And I'll never stop it

Miya hee, miya ho, miya hu, miya ha ha

So live your life
