    First watched this music video last year on Dec 13, 2023 midnight and loved the message of the song. Heard the song as a kid and liked the sound, but I didn’t understand the message back then (I was too young).
    I was going through an emotional time hours before I listened to the track in 2023, so hearing this helped my morale.
    Helped me to the point where I remembered months later in ‘24. Now I’m writing this on Dec 13, 2024.
    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!

    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."
