[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
On top of the world
[2X]

[T.I.]
I was born into poverty raised I the sewers
Streets always would be a part of me, it made me the truest
And even when my days weren’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 22s
That ain't bad for a n**** who ain't even finish school huh
Don't get me wrong I aint 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 solitares and they all in one chain
Used to see me in the mall I'm the same
And getting brain from a couple broads on a plane

[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
On top of the world
[2X]

[Common]
I come from Chi-Town lost and found in the struggle
Where dudes say stay safe and stay out of trouble
Speakers muffled the law and B try to cuff you
Those with duffles move weight and have muscles
I dug through the dirt with a verse for the people
Opening for Daddy Kane and Easy 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 n**** changed they keep saying that n**** strange
They couldn't see how my mind on bigger thangs
Ahead of my time now I caught up with the game
Making good music making paper making change and its good

[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
On top of the world
[2X]


[T.I.]
I don put gasoline drawers and 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
When we a**umed the title as the number one supplier
Felt like I was selling blow since I was in diapers
And we 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 a lucrative empire
But like that pimping time flash by you
Now I wonder what the judge think as he reading my priors
Cuz prisons ain't full and the reefer ain't bias
Anybody tell you different are damn liars
Gave the jail hell shot birds at the hearse
I lived through worse and reversed the curse

[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
On top of the world
[2X]
