In My Life

[Verse 1: Ludacris]

Yeah, I used to care so much what people thought about me

Now I really could give a fuck

Not when I own over $15 million in real estate

And bought all the Fast & Furious trucks, haha

See, everyday I put in work and my salary grows

So excuse me I'm not caught up on reality shows

See the Bridges Family values on the south side

I live in Atlanta but do not have an Atlanta housewife

I'm not married, I've never been engaged

But your dumb-ass believes whatever's on the front page

See some of these bloggers don't even believe their own lies

Turn the computer screen into a mirror, look at'cha own lives

Cause technology exceeds all humanity

But there's a thin line between genius and insanity

Now private pics on my private, no longer private, man

Hope I can gets some privacy up on my private plane

[Hook: John Legend]

Ohhh, living in the spotlight

Oh if it's too hot, too hot tonight

I think I'm gonna take flight

But I'm a be alright, I'm a be alright

Let me live 'til I die

[Verse 2: Ludacris]

I'm doing interviews

Getting asked the same questions from 10 years ago

Wondering to myself what the fuck I'm there for

Now that my daughter's a CEO at the age of 10

And I got restaurants inside Atlanta's airport

That repetition will drive any human being nutty

I'd rather be in my own crib, on my own couch

Thinking I gotta do what the fuck I wanna do money

Yeah, and then I went to Quincy Jones' house

Realize I didn't have shit, got some work to do

Soon as you get some money, it's gon' be someone with more than you

Sci-Fi movies, the fans said this album is overdue

And if you don't put some music out

These niggas gon' be over you

Talking about where that old Luda, for the rapper's sake

But Ursher told me if I don't evolve I'll evaporate

I've gotten better, motherfucker if you listen

If you're smart, and went to college better use your intuition

[Hook]

Ohhh, living in the spotlight

Oh if it's too hot, too hot tonight

I think I'm gonna take flight

But I'm a be alright, I'm a be alright

Let me live 'til I die

[Verse 3: Ludacris]

Yeah, my own expectations I exceeded them

And when people say Luda's underrated, I'd agree with 'em

Jay said I'm so visual, they overlook the lyrics

But every verse you get a sample if your mind can clear it

Then steer it in the direction of your memory

And I'll be satisfied when I'm celebrated for centuries

Wrote a song for my girl she couldn't stand straight

My man said, "don't release it, you'll ruin your female fan base"

I said, "man, my female fan base gon' be here for forever"

Cause even though I'm with one, to them we're still together

And who am I to tell 'em different if my voice can freak 'em

Long as I can continue coming through all of that speakers

I'm a man of choice words but I speak the truth

And I ain't scared of shit except God in a life or jail suit

Especially when all of my bills are paid for

And God answered everything that I prayed for

[Hook]

Ohhh, living in the spotlight

Oh if it's too hot, too hot tonight

I think I'm gonna take flight

But I'm a be alright, I'm a be alright

Let me live 'til I die

Ohhh, living in the spotlight

Oh if it's too hot, too hot tonight

I think I'm gonna take flight

But I'm a be alright, I'm a be alright

Let me live 'til I die
