2. 상세


2008년 당시 미국 최정상에 위치해 있던 래퍼 T.I.와 최정상에 위치해 있던 여가수 리아나가 협업한 곡이다. Whatever You Like와 마찬가지로 큰 성공을 거둔 곡인데, T.I.의 최전성기를 대표하는 곡이다.
T.I.와 Dan Bălan, Makeba Riddick, Justin Smith가 이 곡을 작사/작곡했고 Just Blaze[1]와 Canei Finch가 프로듀싱을 맡았다.
이 노래는, T.I. 자신의 이야기를 담은 곡인데, 아무 것도 없는 밑바닥에서부터 남부의 왕, 그리고 미국 최정상의 자리에 오르기까지의 내용을 담고 있다.[2]
2008년 빌보드 연말 차트에서 37위, 2009년 빌보드 연말 차트에서 18위, 2000년대 총결산 차트에서 37위, 빌보드 올타임 차트에서 202위를 기록했다.
빌보드 핫 100에서는 자신의 곡 Whatever You Like를 밀어내고 2008년 10월 둘째 주부터 2주 연속 1위를 기록했고 그 다음 주 브리트니 스피어스Womanizer에 밀려났다.
2주일 후인 11월 셋째 주에 다시 1위를 기록하여 12월 첫째 주까지 4주 연속 1위에 머물렀다. 비욘세의 신곡 Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)에 의해 밀려났으나 1주일 만인 12월 셋째 주에 다시 1위를 탈환하였다. 그러나 12월 넷째 주[3]에 비욘세의 Single Ladies에 의해 다시 밀려났다.

(Rihanna):
You''re gonna be a shining star, you''re fancy clothes, you''re 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.
You steady 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 em ''til they fade away.
Amazing they ungreatful after all the game I gave away.
Safe to say I paid the way, for you cats to get paid today.
You''d still be wasting days away, now had I never saved the day.
Consider them my prot?? homage I think they should pay.
Instead of being gracious, they violate in a major way.
I never been a hater still I love them in a crazy way.
Some say they sold yah and no they couldn''t even work on Labor day.
It aint that they black or white, their hands in areas the shades of grey.
I''m West side anyway, even if I left today and stayed away.
Some move away to make a way not move away cause they afraid.
I brought back to the hood and all you ever did was take away.
I pray for patience but they make me want to melt their face away.
Like I once made them spray, now I could make em put the k''s away.
Been thuggin'' all my life, can''t say I don''t deserve to take a break.
your would rather 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.
You steady 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 I''ll grab a nigga by the collar quick.
Whoever having problems with their record sales just holla ''tip.
If that don''t work and all else fails, then turn around and follow ''tip.
I got love for the game but ay I''m not in love with all of it.
Could do without the fame and rappers nowadays are comically.
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 when depositing them checks into your bank account and you up out of poverty.
Your values is in disarray, prioritizing horribly.
Unhappy with the riches cause you piss poor morally.
Ignoring all prior advice and fore warning.
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, aren''t we?

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.
You steady 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)

Got everybody watchin what I do
Come walk in my shoes
And see the way I''m livin if you really want to
Got my mind on my money
And I''m not goin nowhere
So keep on gettin your paper
And keep on climbing
Look in the mirror and keep on shining
Till the game ends, till the clock stops
We gon'' post up on the top spot
Livin the life, the life
In a brand new city got my whole team with me
The life, my life
I do what I wanna do
I''m livin my life, my life
I will never lose, I''m livin my life, my life
And I''m not stopping

So live your life!
