T.I. Paper Trail: Case Closed (EP) Lyrics
1.Remember Me

Lyricist:E Dean, Clifford J Jr Harris, J Jones, J L Perry

Don't forget to remember me
(Let's get 'em, Mary)

Don't forget to remember me
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't forget shawty, hey)
I'll be back so remember me
(Hey, hey, hey, so remember this)
Please keep me in your mind if we ever have to part
(Hey, hey, hey, don't forget shawty, hey)
Don't forget to remember me

Ay, the king, modern day Martin Luther, Malcom X
I'm officially the freshest, don't dare forget
I'm gone momentarily, don't bury me, yet
Like Ali got, I got tha title back, prepare for that

When the world needed to ask where he was at
But when he need somethin' back, fade to black
Talking behind his back, you a hater for that
I don't expect nothin' less in the game of chess

You think five moves ahead and not behind
Jumped up, cheered when I got my time
Like yeah, one whole year I got in the grind
But get me losin' off your mind

Shawty, may I remind you that there ain't another
Who done been through what I been through
Time after time again you better get some in you
When you said it was over for him
And you thought he couldn't continue to floss
Here's to your memory loss, sucker

Don't forget to remember me
(Ah, don't forget shawty)
I'll be back so remember me
(Hey, don't forget shawty, ya, ya, remember this shawty)
Please keep me in your mind if we ever have to part
(Hey, hey, hey, so don't forget shawty)
Don't forget to remember me

They say outta sight's out of mind
And nine times out of ten, me and out of pocket out of line
You do it big, everybody that you out shined
Then your old lady fate talk 'bout how she got fine

She say she was tryin' to get away, he say about time
Right now we all thinkin', damn hopin' not mine
But when it's lights out for you and you're locked down
Ain't no tellin' whether or not your lady when and got down

With that crawl town 'cause he hot now
Rippin' up your love letters, liftin' up her night gown
Right now somebody baby momma gettin' piped down
Kids in the next room listenin', momma pipe down

The thought hurt, don't it? But maybe she's strong enough for it
Or ain't get that lonely 'cause you wasn't gone long enough
Trump, it's just a temporarily setback
It's on when I get back, please don't forget that

Don't forget to remember me
(So don't forget, shawty)
I'll be back so remember me
(Ya, hey, it's the king, bitch!)
Please keep me in your mind if we ever have to part
(Hey, hey, hey, don't forget shawty)
Don't forget to remember me

(Drop it, Mary)
I don't mean to feel like this, don't mean to think like this
My heart just has to be sure
That the love that I give to you, that's the love I get from you
I need to be safe and secure
(Hey, hey, just let me know you're thinking about me)

Don't forget to remember me
(Hey, hey, hey, don't forget shawty)
I'll be back so remember me
(Hey, don't forget shawty, hey, what's on your mind, shawty?)
Please keep me in your mind if we ever have to part
(Hey, hey, hey, don't forget shawty)
Don't forget to remember me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Hey, just a friendly message for everybody in American
Who thought I was gon' fail
Partner, it's a year and a day and counting, you understand
that?
By the time you hear this, I'll pro'ly be halfway home
Now remember that, suckas

3.Live Your Life (EP)


You're gonna be a shining star*
Your fancy clothes, your fancy ca-ars
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows who you a-are

So live your life (ay), ay ay ay
You instead of chasing at paper
Just live your life (oh), ay ay ay
Ain't got no time for no haters

Just live your life (ay), ay ay ay
No telling where it'll take ya
Just live your life (oh), ay ay ay
'Cause I'm a paper chaser

Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life
(oh)
Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life
(oh)

Never mind what haters say, ignore 'em 'til they fade away
Amazing they ungreatful after all the game I gave away
Safe to say I paid the way for you cats to get paid today
You'd still be wasting days away, now had I never saved the day

Consider them my protégé, homage I think they should pay
Instead of being gracious they violate in a major way
I never been a hater still I love them in a crazy way
Some say they sold yah and no they couldn't even work on Labor
day

It ain't that they black or white, their hands in areas the
shades of grey
I'm west side anyway, even if I left today and stayed away
Some move away to make a way, not move away 'cause they afraid
I brought back to the hood and all you ever did was take away

I pray for patience but they make me want to melt their face
away
Like I once made them spray, now I could make 'em put the K's
away
Been thugging all my life, can't say I don't deserve to take a
break
You would rather see me catch a case and watch my future fade
away

You're gonna be a shining star
Your fancy clothes, your fancy ca-ars
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows who you a-are

So live your life (ay), ay ay ay
You instead of chasing at paper
Just live your life (oh), ay ay ay
Ain't got no time for no haters

Just live your life (ay), ay ay ay
No telling where it'll take ya
Just live your life (oh), ay ay ay
'Cause I'm a paper chaser

Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life
(oh)
Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life
(oh)

I'm the opposite of moderate
Immaculately polished with the spirit of a hustler and the
swagger of a college kid
Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics
Articulate but still I'll grab a nigga by the collar quick

Whoever having problems with their record sales just holla 'tip
If that don't work and all else fails then turn around and
follow 'tip
I got love for the game but ay I'm not in love with all of it
Could do without the fame and rappers nowadays are comically

The hooting and the hollering, back and forth with the arguing
Where you from, who you know, what you make and what kind of car
you in
Seems as though you lost sight of what's important when
depositing
Them checks into your bank account and you up out of poverty

Your values is in disarray, prioritizing horribly
Unhappy with the riches 'cause you piss poor morally
Ignoring all prior advice and fore warning
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, aren't we?

You're gonna be a shining star
Your fancy clothes, your fancy ca-ars
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far
'Cause everyone knows who you a-are

So live your life (ay), ay ay ay
You instead of chasing at paper
Just live your life (oh), ay ay ay
Ain't got no time for no haters

Just live your life (ay), ay ay ay
No telling where it'll take ya
Just live your life (oh), ay ay ay
'Cause I'm a paper chaser

Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life
(oh)
Just living my life (ay), my life (oh), my life (ay), my life
(oh)

Got everybody watching what I do
Come walk in my shoes
And see the way I'm living if you really want to
Got my mind on my money and I'm not going nowhere

So keep on getting your paper and keep on climbing
Look in the mirror and keep on shining
'Till the game ends, 'till the clock stops
We gon' post up on the top spot

Living the life, the life
In a brand new city got my whole team with me
The life, my life
I do what I wanna do

I'm living my life, my life
I will never lose,
I'm living my life, my life
And I'm not stopping

So live your life!


4.Dead & Gone

Lyricist:Clifford Harris, Robin Tadross, Justin Timberlake

Ay, lemme kick it to you right quick man
Not on some gangsta shit man on some real shit
Anybody who been through the same thing
I'm sure you feel the same way

Oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too long
Just tryin' to find my way back home
But the old me's dead and gone
Dead and gone
And oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too long
Just tryin' to find my way back home
But the old me's dead and gone
Dead and gone, dead and

Ever had one of them days wish you would have stayed home
Run into a group of niggas who gettin' their hate on
You walk by, they get wrong, you reply then shit get blown
Way out of proportion way past discussion
Just you against them, pick one then rush them
Figure you get jumped here that's next
They don't wanna stop there now they bustin'

Now you gushin', ambulance rushin'
You to the hospital with a bad concussion
Plus you hit four times but it hit yo spine
Paralyzed waist down and ya wheelchair bound
Never mind that now you lucky to be alive
Just thinkin' it all started fussin' wit three guys
Nigga pride in the way but your pride is the way you can fuck
Around get shot down any day

Niggas die everyday, all little bullshit
Dope money, dice games, ordinary hood shit
Could this be cuz of hip-hop music
Or did the ones with the good sense not use it?
Usually niggas don't know what to do when they back against the
wall
So they just start shootin'
For red or for blue or for blow I guess
From Bankhead at the old projects

No more stress, now I'm straight
Now I get it, now I take time to think
Before I make mistakes just for my family stake
That part of me left yesterday
The heart of me is strong today
No regrets I'm blessed to say the old me dead and gone away

Oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too long
Just tryin' to find my way back home
But the old me's dead and gone
Dead and gone
And oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too long
Just tryin' to find my way back home
But the old me's dead and gone
Dead and gone, dead and

I ain't neva been scared, I live through tragic
Situations could been dead lookin' back at it
Most of that shit didn't even have to happen
But you don't think about it when you out there trappin'
In the apartments hangin', smokin' and rappin'
Niggas start shit next thing we know we cappin'
Get locked up then didn't even get mad
Now I think about that what a life I had

Most of that shit look back just laugh
Some shit still look back get sad
Thinkin' my home boy still be around
Had I not hit the nigga in the mouth that time
I won that fight I lost that war
I could still see my nigga walkin' out that door
Who would of thought I'd never see Philant no more
Got enough dead homies I don't want no more

Cuz a nigga his jump cost me more
I'd a took that ass whoopin' out for sure
Now think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my stripes
A nigga put his hands on me alright
Otherwise stand there talk shit all night
Cuz I hit you and you sue me
I shoot you get locked up poor me

No more stress now I'm straight
Now I get it now I take time to think
Before I make mistake just for my family stake
That part of me left yesterday
The heart of me is strong today
No regrets I'm blessed to say the old me dead and gone away

Oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too long
Just tryin' to find my way back home
But the old me's dead and gone
Dead and gone
And oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too long
Just tryin' to find my way back home
But the old me's dead and gone
Dead and gone

I turn my head to the east, I don't see nobody by my side
I turn my head to the west, still nobody in sight
So I turn my head to the north, swallow that pill that they call
pride
That old me's dead and gone but the new me will be alright
I turn my head to the east, I don't see nobody by my side
I turn my head to the west, still nobody in sight
So I turn my head to the north, swallow that pill that they call
pride
That old me's dead and gone but the new me will be alright,
'cause

Oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too long
Just tryin' to find my way back home
But the old me's dead and gone
Dead and gone
And oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too long
Just tryin' to find my way back home
But the old me's dead and gone
Dead and gone, dead and


5.Hell Of A Life

Lyricist:Clifford Harris, Nate Hills

Beamers, Bentleys, double R's, Ferraris every time I seen
Shorty, where you're headed tonight?
Sellin' out arenas, chicks with asses like Serena
Man, shorty live a hell of a life

I'm livin' in and out of foreign, cars never borin'
Cash steady flowin', they ask shorty, 'Where you goin'?'
People see me, they ask me, 'Shorty, where you goin'?'
Partners see me, they ask me, 'Shorty, where you goin'?'

Shorty goin' extra hard when they release his passport
Why I need a credit card? What you think this cash for?
Hit the dealership and give them every dime he ask for
Just so I can see 260 on the dashboard

Tryin' to get some luck, somebody better get the task force
Love when hoes love me, let me fuck 'em til their ass hoarse
Pimpin' 101, just come and see me, take a crash course
You wanna count my money? Go to college, need a math course

On a main dashboard, 100 milligramy
Breakneck speed 'til I see a billi comin'
I'm buildin' Jimi Hendrix, feel the grumblin' in my stomach
I'm still stuntin' off the chain, chasin' niggas for some money

With a couple of pair of poodles like I'm playin' gin rummy
No cards, just broads when a nigga dick hard
Love the offshore autobahn lookin' like a car star
Put it in her wristwatch, ballin' like a big shot

Beamers, Bentleys, double R's, Ferraris every time I seen
Shorty, where you're headed tonight?
Sellin' out arenas, chicks with asses like Serena
Man, shorty live a hell of a life

I'm livin' in and out of foreign, cars never borin'
Cash steady flowin', they ask shorty, 'Where you goin'?'
People see me, they ask me, 'Shorty, where you goin'?'
Partners see me, they ask me, 'Shorty, where you goin'?'

Swag on fully, no semi ho
Gimme bankrolls, no gimmicks, drop Rolls, no Emmys
Street cred, no blemish, credit card, no limit
You want Bankhead a spot to drop heads, I'm in it

I'm been it, a couple of corners hoppin' on 20
With 3 or 4 women givin' love like tennis
No more fucks with the chinese givin' me the business
While I'm ride through the city, gag swallow, no spittin'

Livin' life like I just got out of prison Wednesday night
If your chicken's in my sight, then that chicken's gettin' right
And I know niggas now with bitches think I'm hittin' and they
right
They keep my name out my mouth and mind they business, it's
aight

It's aight if you see me say aight, okay aight
'Cause you know I got the goons with me and I pay aight
And they would like to see me go back to prison, see me go
But instead they see me ballin', stuntin' everywhere we go, go

Beamers, Bentleys, double R's, Ferraris every time I seen
Shorty, where you're headed tonight?
Sellin' out arenas, chicks with asses like Serena
Man, shorty live a hell of a life

I'm livin' in and out of foreign, cars never borin'
Cash steady flowin', they ask shorty, 'Where you goin'?'
People see me, they ask me, 'Shorty, where you goin'?'
Partners see me, they ask me, 'Shorty, where you goin'?'
