The Life Lyrics

[Intro]
Yo
Lulou
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Ever since I'm young, I'm tryna get it right
Every year, I'm working toward a goal
Don't sleep 'til we see the daylight
Living big, going up on the rope

[Pre-Chorus]
I like seeing all the bright lights
Keep it up, pour it up for the night
Two times, I'ma get it two times
Double up, run it back on my mind

[Chorus]
This is the life, life, life, this is the life, life, life
This is the life, life, life, this is the life, life, life (This is the life)
This is the life, life, life, this is the life, life, life (This is the life)
This is the life, life, life, this is the life (This is the life)

[Post-Chorus]
Give it up for the kids, eating good, getting lit
Living life, feeling rich, oh, I, oh, I, yeah, this is the life
We the best in the biz, breaking off, betting chips
Living life, feeling rich, oh, I, oh, I, yeah
[Verse 2]
Level up, meet me court side
Tricking out, whipping hard in the coupe
I'ma go, gotta board a flight
Other time, there's a show I gotta do

[Pre-Chorus]
No stress, baby, you can find us
Getting down on a beach in Dubai
Pool side, sipping on a Mai Tai
Double up, run it back on my mind

[Chorus]
This is the life, life, life, this is the life, life, life
This is the life, life, life, this is the life, life, life (This is the life)
This is the life, life, life, this is the life, life, life (This is the life)
This is the life, life, life, this is the life (This is the life)

[Post-Chorus]
Give it up for the kids, eating good, getting lit
Living life, feeling rich, oh, I, oh, I, this is the life
We the best in the biz, breaking off, betting chips
Living life, feeling rich, oh, I, oh, I, yeah

[Rap Section - Unknown Artist]
[Bridge]
No stress, baby, you can find us
Getting down on a beach in Dubai
Pool side, sipping on a Mai Tai
Double up, up, up, up...
(This is the life!)

[Chorus]
This is the life, life, life, this is the life, life, life (This is the life)
This is the life, life, life, this is the life, life, life
This is the life, life, life, this is the life, life, life (This is the life)
This is the life, life, life, this is the life

[Post-Chorus]
Give it up for the kids, eating good, getting lit
Living life, feeling rich, oh, I, oh, I, this is the life
We the best in the biz, breaking off, betting chips
Living life, feeling rich, oh, I, oh, I, yeah

She has really sick melody flows and lyrics. It’s very cohesive with us. It’s drawing from the same experience. That’s what’s important at the end of the day: having an authentic sound and having someone who understands what we’re going through.
