1. Never mind what haters say, ignore 'em 'til they fade away,
G Am
amazing
they ungrateful after all the game I gave away.
F C
Safe to say, I paid the way
for you cats to get paid today,
G Am
you'd
still be wasting days away, now had I never saved the day.
F C
Consider them my protégé,
homage I think they should pay,
G Am
instead
of being gracious they violate in a major way.
F C
I never been a hater, still I
love them in a crazy way,
G Am
some
say they sold yah and, no, they couldn't even work on Labor
day.
F C
2. It ain't that they black or white, their
hands in areas the shades of grey,
G Am
I'm West Side anyway, even if
I left today and stayed away.
F
C
Some move away to make a way,
not move away 'cause they afraid,
G Am
I brought back to the hood and
all you ever did was take away.
F
C
I pray
for patience, but they make me want to melt their face away,
G Am
like
I once made them spray, now I could make 'em put the K's away.
F C
Been thugging
all my life, can't say I don't deserve to take a break,
G Am
you
would rather see me catch a case and watch my future fade away.
F C
You're gonna be a shining star,
G Am
your fancy clothes, your fancy
cars.
F C
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far,
G Am
'cause everyone knows who you are.
F C G Am
So live your life, ay ay ay,
you steady chasing that paper,
F C G Am
just live your life, oh, ay ay, ain't got no time for no
haters.

3. I'm the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished
G Am
with
the spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid.
F C
Allergic to the counterfeit,
impartial to the politics,
G Am
articulate
but still I'll grab a nigga by the collar quick.
F C
Whoever having problems with
their record sales just holla 'tip,
G Am
if
that don't work and all else fails, then turn around and follow 'tip.
F
C
I got love for the game but,
ay, I'm not in love with all of it,
G Am
could
do without the fame and rappers nowadays are comically.
F C
4. The hooting and the hollering, back and forth with the arguing,
G
Where you from, who you know ?
Am
What you make and what kind of
car you in ?
F
C
Seems as though you lost sight
of what's important when depositing
G Am
them
checks into your bank account and you up out of poverty.
F C
Your values is in disarray,
prioritizing horribly,
G Am
unhappy
with the riches 'cause you piss poor morally.
F C
Ignoring all prior advice and
forewarning,
G Am
and
we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, aren't we ?
+ CHORUS
F C
5. Got everybody watching what I do, come walk
in my shoes,
G Am
and
see the way I'm living if you really want to.
F C G -
Am
Got my mind on my money and
I'm not going nowh……..ere.
F C
So keep on getting your paper
and keep on climbing,
G Am
look
in the mirror and keep on shining
F C
'till the game ends, 'till the
clock stops,
G Am
we gon' post up on the top spot.
F C
Living the life, the life
G Am
in a
brand new city got my whole team with me.
F C
G Am
The life, my life, I do what I
wanna do !
F
C G Am
I'm living my life, my life, I
will never lose !
F
C G
Am

I'm not stopping !
F C G Am
