Live Your Life

Live Your Life TI (Feat. Rihanna)

What you need to do is be thankful for the life you got, know what I'm saying?)
(Stop looking at what you ain't got and start being thankful for what you do got)
(Let's give it to 'em, baby girl!)

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 what’s important with the positive
And checks until your bank account and you up out of poverty

Your values is a disarray, prioritizing horribly
Unhappy with your riches cause you're piss poor morally
Ignoring all prior advice and forewarning
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden aren't we?


(Hey, hey, yeah) You're gonna be a shining star (That's right)
(Yeah, okay, yeah) With fancy clothes and fancy ca-ars (Hey, hey, hey, yeah)
(See, yeah)And then you'll see, you're gonna go far (Go, hey)
Cause everyone knows (They know), just who you a-are (Okay, now)

(Hey!)So live your life, (Ay!, 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 (Ay!, Ay ay ay)
No telling where it'll take you
Just live your life (Oh!, ay ay ay)

Combined Young Women and Young Men

This close.
This close.
Yet not close enough.
Still this far away.
I want you to be closer.
I want your hand to be in mine.
I want to be part of that group.
To get that.
This close.
This close
But not close enough.
Still this far away.
I wish.
I wonder.
Does he know?
This close.
This close.
But not close enough.
Still this far away.

Please, she begs.
I want it, wistful this time

Sorry, he says, but you're not part of the purple group.
You don't get soft oreos.
This close
This close.
His hand was next to mine, holding the oreos.
I should have just taken them.
To late.
Not close enough.

Why?

"You're really pretty." They say.
But are you?
Do they really care?
Does it really matter to them?
Why?
Why do they say it if they don't mean it?
Why does it hurt when they do?
Why?
"You're really pretty." They say
Again
Why again?
You know it is fake.
Just like everything else they do.
Everything else they say.
Everything else they are.
Fake.
Its fake. Its all fake
"You're really pretty." They say.

Moroni 7:45

And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
