T.I. drops some knowledge in "Live Your Life," where discusses his growth and reconciles himself to his lot in life. He had been through a lot by this time, both good and bad. Paper Trail was his third #1 album, but he made most of it while under house arrest on gun charges. He ended up spending a lot of time in jail in 2009.
This is the song where we learned Rihanna could yodel, albeit with some help from Auto-Tune. She's featured on the track, contributing a verse along with that "mya-HE, mya-HAW, mya-WHO, mya-HAHA" hook that opens the song. The yodel is interpolated from the 2003 European pop smash "Dragostea din Tei" by the Moldavian trio O-Zone. It was the source material for a well-known YouTube clip, the "Numa Numa Dance," which shows Gary Brolsma dancing to it in front of his webcam.
This was produced by Just Blaze, whose previous credits include "Touch The Sky" by Kanye West, "Kingdom Come" by Jay-Z and "Breathe" by Fabolous.
