Goodlife

[Chorus: T.I. & Pharrell Williams]

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

[Chorus: T.I. & Pharrell Williams]

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

Sales 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

[Chorus: T.I. & Pharrell Williams]

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.]

I put gasoline drawers on, 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 wished 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 biased

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

[Chorus: T.I. & Pharrell Williams]

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
