Its because some of them ended up being witches because of jelousy really we must be grateful but i recommend people to not have limites but only in a good way salute ❤😘✌️
The times were simple. I was a junior in high school when this song came out. (2010 graduate) Social media wasn't everywhere ruining everything, people could live life & have fun not offending everything & anything, everything didn't have a political agenda, etc. Just simple, fun times back in 08'. We will never go back to simple times & days like that now, unfortunately. 💔😥

Hello Rihanna Navy, I invite you to watch this beautiful video homage that I did with love for Rihanna! the most successful and humanitarian artist of recent years! :) Thank you! ruclips.net/video/0GHp0VIZ1WE/видео.html RESPONDER
T.I. Lyrics hit harder when you take it as a bit of advice and very relatable in 2024. A masterpiece well written. I'm always proud of Rihanna who hails from a Caribbean background. Turn it up when listening, cheers.
Do you guys remember the time when every single song Rihanna dropped became a hit? Its so hard too realise this time was like 10 years ago😭 back in the day music was just on a whole notha level
Absolutely couldn’t have said it better between 2008-2012 a lot of great music kiss me thru the phone,throw it in the bag, T-Pain Blame it, Rihanna live your life, knock you down and many more that was for me one of the best times

funny thing is some people might say Rod Stewart - Da Ya Think I'm Sexy (1978) was their childhood song and anything over 2000 is trash...I guess people just like to think whatever songs they've listened to in their childhood are inherently good.
You'd rather see me catch a case and watch my future fade away... I feel the hate on that one. Also, that one time that no teeth dude didn't truly understand the word hustle. Hustle is such a broad term tho. Like, no fool. That doesn't always mean illegal activity & scamming ppl. But good luck on that decaying grill of yours
THIS SONG REMINDS U THAT MOST OF US WORRY A LOT ABOUT THING WE DON'T HAVE WHEN WE CAN APPRECIATE WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE.... IT STAYS RELEVANT EVEN IN 2020
music has to evolve...i appreciate this generation and past eras. Tip, Weezy, Yeezy, Slim Shady are still making music right now. If you look hard enough, you'll find it.

Even though I am not fond of this song, it sure takes me back when I was in middle school. Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Eminem, Kid Cudi, Usher, Black Eyed Peas, Akon, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Fall Out Boy, Green Day, T.I., and Linkin Park dominated the radio and everywhere I went, I heard one of their songs being played. I am in college now and it is nostalgic to look back at this and say, "Yeah, those were the days."

Try not to worry about being the richest, the most attractive, the most famous person in the world… just improve yourself and don’t forget to have fun.
Live your life.
Life is an interesting journey
You never know where it will take you
The peaks and valleys
The twists and turns
You can get the surprise of your life
Sometimes on the way to where your going
You might think
"This is the worst time of my life"
But you know what?
At the end of the road
Through all the adversity
You can get to where you want it to be
If you remember that whatever don't kill you
Makes you stronger
And all the adversity will be worth it
On your way to the top you will do anything
But how to you get your life back when you get there
Yeah, that's my dilemma!
...
What you need to do is be thankful
For the life that you got
You know what I'm sayin'
Stop lookin' at what you ain't got
And start bein' thankful for what you do got
Let's give it to 'em baby girl
You're gonna be a shining star
With fancy clothes and fancy cars
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows who you are
So live your life (ay 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 (ay ay ay ay)
No telling where it'll take ya
Just live your life (oh ay ay ay)
'Cause I'm a paper chaser
Just living my life
Never mind what haters say
Ignore 'em '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'd still be wasting days away
Now had I never saved the day
Consider them my protégé
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 yay
And no they couldn't get work on labor day
It ain't that they black or white
It has an area the shade 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 thugging all my life
Can't say I don't deserve to take a break
You would rather see me catch a case
And watch my future fade away
You're gonna be a shining star
With fancy clothes and fancy cars
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows who you are
So live your life (ay 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 (ay ay ay ay)
No telling where it'll take ya
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 I'll grab a *****
By the collar quick
Whoever having problems
With their record sales just holla T.I.P.
If that don't work and all else fails
Then turn around and follow T.I.P.
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 comedy
The hooting and the hollering
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 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?
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 ends, 'till the clock stops
We gon' post up on the top spot
So live your life (ay 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 (ay ay ay ay)
No telling where it'll take ya
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)
So live your life!
The second verse is a lecture for all rappers! !!
Awesome!! ThankYou for your hard work...bless your hand😇😇
ThAnk yOu!
Great job
Yes remember your families and friends and communities you come from and try to help them out and help them up also everyone has a light to shine… 💖✨🕊🙏🥰
this was my childhood song... glad I came across to it. Cried
Austin me too
love this
Austin.. childhood is the best part of our life.. and some aong often bring it back..
Austin foreal this was my childhood song to
funny thing is some people might say Rod Stewart - Da Ya Think I'm Sexy (1978) was their childhood song and anything over 2000 is trash...I guess people just like to think whatever songs they've listened to in their childhood are inherently good.
This song really makes me wonna just live my life and have fun. Just live be happy while I'm here. This song still hot.
Wow
Same here
T.I., and Rihanna, you two again do great with singing this great, catchy, and motivational song! You two, go!
Rihanna's voice, Never gets old🥰🤩🤩
Oa
You can say that a million time 🥰
At all
The most best era🔥 i miss this music generation🥹
😢
😢
Fuck I was just thinking this 😢 this shit is 🔥and always will be 💯
Can we just appreciate that he kept the same rhyme scheme throughout the whole first verse?
batmansrighttoe Bro I'm telling you!
wow true, i just noticed that lmao
Betty Kare ok
batmansrighttoe yeah but he used "way" like 20 times, still impressive though
"Unhappy with the Ritches coz you're piss poor morally" I appreciate that 👌
2006 - 2010.. best period of my life... this and timbaland... soundtrack.... Jesus time flies.... memories.. 28.03.2019

Poetic Nation respect, this was my favorite song when I was 4 years old and this would play on the radio all the time.

Who's Watching this in 27th October 2024 👇🏻👇🏻🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉
this collaboration deserves a grammy
spirit of a hustler
and swagger of a college kid
allergic to the counterfeit
damn TI
Yeah his ghost writer was definitely working overtime on that one
Damn so real
You'd rather see me catch a case and watch my future fade away... I feel the hate on that one. Also, that one time that no teeth dude didn't truly understand the word hustle. Hustle is such a broad term tho. Like, no fool. That doesn't always mean illegal activity & scamming ppl. But good luck on that decaying grill of yours
Impartial to politics
@@ahhwe-any7434 he said spirit, and spirit can be of any shape bruh
Whatever Rihanna touches it turns to gold.
The numa numa song they used here was already gold
The Romanian effect
IT was already gold
Dragosta din tei was already gold
She need to touch these pennies I got then
October 15 anyone 2024?
THIS SONG REMINDS U THAT MOST OF US WORRY A LOT ABOUT THING WE DON'T HAVE WHEN WE CAN APPRECIATE WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE....
IT STAYS RELEVANT EVEN IN 2020
Search dragostea din tei from Ozone.She just straight up copied the song and made it worse if yall ask me.
it will always be relevant. we always want more
@@alox3001 its a fuckin sample not a copy and also this isnt worse lmao
@@joeswanson5115 sampling is copying in a sense. i know,i know they pay for the rights to a particular section but it not theirs. and it is worse.
song that has a meaning ❤ 2018 anyone?
Lovie Beckman girl yesssss

Why can’t music be this good today 😭😩

Ima big fucking slut was on it
Almost 2022 and This is still one of the best and most inspiring songs
IM HERE BEFORE THE END OF 2024
I swear i miss this era when we used to listen T.I., Kanye, Weezy, Eminem ...songs with realtalk. nowdays rappers will never beat that era of hiphop.
Damn true
music has to evolve...i appreciate this generation and past eras. Tip, Weezy, Yeezy, Slim Shady are still making music right now. If you look hard enough, you'll find it.
Ian Houk never ever , u mean people will prefer lil pump , lil xan , 69 before eminem and T.I ?? Bra go back to mars and drink less lean siroup fuck ya
jackson riviera of course i‘m feeling it i love em‘s Kamikaze and his recent album too , T.I fell off ... weezy fell off with his mew album also but kanye is straight dope
Same
We need another Rihanna and T.I collab 😩😫

Ciara Padilla I love the tune back then and just as much today

Songs never get old when they make sense.
Nothing like music....
The true motivation
❤⭐Ask your heart what to do : « I ask my heart what to do to feel better ? » listen the answer ❤⭐ Recite « God purify me » each second during hours, days, more if need, create miracles ❤⭐ To heal someone : « God purify heal Name + Last name + Link with person (sister/brother/mother/father/friends/and so on) » ❤⭐ Broadcast audio prayer nights and days create miracles
Motto for 2020: Hey, never mind what haters say, ignore 'em 'til they fade away...
Keep moving forward
💯
True bro. Fuck what they think. Its up to them not to you ,) cheers
Dude...2007?! I truly don't know where tf the years went
Even though I am not fond of this song, it sure takes me back when I was in middle school. Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Eminem, Kid Cudi, Usher, Black Eyed Peas, Akon, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Fall Out Boy, Green Day, T.I., and Linkin Park dominated the radio and everywhere I went, I heard one of their songs being played. I am in college now and it is nostalgic to look back at this and say, "Yeah, those were the days."
Feel excactly the same..when rihanna became huge and when katy and gaga came out
There's a lot of shitty songs on the radio now a days. I miss 2000-2009
I miss songs from 2007-2011, thanks goodness fun. saved 2012 from call me maybe
bravehalospartan right
Back then songs had a better meaning rather than now which is all about sluts and hoes
Almost 13 years and this song still hits hard masterpiece
it has been 13 years since
And i was 36 when this came out, and still like it!
