The lyrics are incredibly contradicting. Sure, "live your life," I got that. But the pursuit of wealth is where it gets muddled. The chorus affirms that she's a "paper chaser," which is okay because she's just living her life as she sees fit. TI's final verse, however, is in constant direct contradiction: he criticizes other people (who are just living their lives) because they "lost sight of what's important when depositing them checks into your bank account." And just before that, he admonishes people for being concerned with "what you make" and "what kind of car you in."
What the fuck, TI? Do you really want me to just live my life how I want, "chasin' the paper," if you intend to criticize me for doing precisely that?
WHAT SHOULD I DO TI? I'LL BE WAITING HERE, IMMOBILE, UNTIL I GET FURTHER LIFE GUIDANCE FROM YOUR NEXT HIT SINGLE CLARIFYING THESE ISSUES. (Please hurry.)
