T.I. T.I. - The King - 14 - Goodlife (Feat. Pharrell & Common) Lyrics

[Chorus]
[T.I.]
I keep telling myself
Man I'm
living the good life
[Pharrell]
I'm living the
good life
[2X]
I'm on top of the world
I'm on top of the world
[2X]

[T.I.]
I was born into poverty raised I the sewerage
Streets
always would be a part of me, it made me the truest
And
even when my days were 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 in your fears
right after you go through it
Now I come through in a Coupe
on 22s
That ain't bad for a n____ who ain't even
finish school
Don't get me wrong I never been a
fool
I just put off graduating for a pair of tennis
shoes
I used to use the beat to paint my pain
But
nowadays man I can't complain
I got several
automobiles and they all on thangs
Several size of tangent
and they all in one chain
Used to see me in the mall
I'm the same
And get a couple broads giving brain on
the plane

[Chorus]

[Common]
I come
from Chi-Town lost and found in the struggle
Where dudes
say stay safe and stay out of trouble
Speak is m___ed the
law and B gon try to cuff you
Those with duffles move
weight and have muscles
I came through the dirt with a
verse for the people
Open up for Daddy Kane and Easy up 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 know I kept it
They say life's a
teacher, you're gonna get tested
When a n____ changed
they keep saying that n____ strange
Couldn't see how
my mind won't be the lame
Ahead of my time I caught up
with the game
Making good music making paper making
change

[Chorus]

[T.I.]
I put on
gasoline drawers I stood in the fire
With enough heat to
set the hood on fire
Man you n____z think Suge was off the
wire
You should've seen the squad before I had
Messiah
We a__umed the t__le as the number one supplier
Felt like I was selling blow since I was in diapers
And
wish a n____ would come try us
We was cool with the
killers, best friends with the lifers
Quick to up and scrap
with n____z who want to deny
For what we considered then as
a lucrative empire
But like that pimping time flash by
you
Now I wonder what the judge think as he reading my
priors
Prison ain't full and the reefer ain't
bias
You ain't got to tell and distant the liars
Gave the jail hell and shot birds at the hearse
Lived
through worse and reversed the curse

[Chorus]
