Hook: T.I. & Pharrell I keep telling myself Man, I'm living the good life I'm living the good life I keep telling myself Man, I'm living the good life I'm living the good life I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world Verse 1: T.I. I was born into poverty raised in the sewage Streets will always would be a part of me, they made me the truest And even when my days wasn't the bluest I never ran from adversity, instead I ran to it Fear ain't in the heart of me, I learned just do it You get courage from your fears right after you go through it Now I come through in a Coupe on 22's That ain't bad for a nigga who ain't even finish school Don't get me wrong I ain't never been a fool I just put off graduating for a pair of tennis shoes I used to use the beats to paint my pain But nowadays man I can't complain I got several automobiles and they all on them thangs Several solitaires and they all in one chain They used to see me in the mall, I'm the same And gettin brains from a couple of broads on the plane Hook: T.I. & Pharrell I keep telling myself Man, I'm living the good life I'm living the good life I keep telling myself Man, I'm living the good life I'm living the good life I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world Verse 2: Common I come from Chi-Town lost and found in the struggle Where dudes say stay safe and say out of trouble Speakers muffled, the law and BMs try to cuff you Those with duffles move weight and have muscle I dug through the dirt with a verse for the people Open up for Daddy Kane and Eazy at the Regal The radio rarely put their needle on my record They ain't see how the hood and heaven were connected Sounds projected, ain't show how effective Lessons learned, sessions turned to life reflected And everything I found real in life, yo I kept it They say life's a teacher, you're gonna get tested When a nigga changed they kept saying that nigga strange They couldn't see how my mind on bigger things Ahead of my time now I caught up with the game Making good music, making paper, making change And it's good Hook: T.I. & Pharrell I keep telling myself Man, I'm living the good life I'm living the good life I keep telling myself Man, I'm living the good life I'm living the good life I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world Verse 3: T.I. Gasoline drawers, I stood in the fire With enough heat to set the hood on fire Man you niggas think Suge was off the wire You should've seen the squad before I had Messiah We assumed the title as the number one supplier Felt like I was selling blow since I was in diapers And we wish a nigga would come try us We was cool with the killers, best friends with the lifers Quick to up and scrap if a nigga wanna to deny For what we considered then a lucrative empire But like that pimping time flash by you Now I wonder what the judge think as he reading my priors 'Cause prisons ain't full and the reaper ain't bias Anybody telling ya different's a damn liar Gave the jail hell and shot birds at the hearse Lived through worse and reversed the curse Hook: T.I. & Pharrell I keep telling myself Man, I'm living the good life I'm living the good life I keep telling myself Man, I'm living the good life I'm living the good life I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world I'm on top of the world
