The Life
Estelle Lyrics

This is the life and we live this to the fullest
We are living our lives to the fullest and enjoying every moment.

Do whatever we like
We are doing whatever we want without any restrictions.

They said that all I had to do was rap rap and rap again
People expected me to just make repetitive rap music.

Go ahead and get buh buh back to black again
Return to musical themes and styles that were popular in the past.

Back to the future back to all that again
Revisiting themes and styles from the past but in a modern context.

1980's stuff oh yeah all of that again
Incorporating the aesthetics and styles of the 1980s into modern music.

So here I go now I'm talking my stuff
I am now rapping about my personal experiences and opinions.

Talking bout your shoe game and I'm a call your bluff
I am calling out people who pretend to be something they're not.

Talking bout your style then and I'm a pull you up
I will point out flaws in your fashion style and try to help you improve.

Just tossing out the talk when you ain't got none
I am disregarding someone's opinion when they don't have any valid points to make.

Questions of ???? L.A. to Chicago
Asking rhetorical questions about various cities including Los Angeles and Chicago.

Fly is just fly even if you ain't a model
Even if someone is not traditionally attractive, they can still be stylish and fashionable.

???? and some ???? and you known for the bulls***
Some people are known for lying and being dishonest.

Keep it really real cause this is
Be honest and truthful because that's important.

They say I'm ever so clean to the point that she stank
People criticize me for being too clean or too perfect.

So I said I would do a whole song of ????
Mocking criticism by saying that I would even create a song about something as trivial as cleanliness.

Stuck on the beat like Ye's on the track
Compares being obsessed with music production to Kanye West's dedication and perfectionism.

Wack songs kinda ???? and I'm a ????
Saying that bad songs are draining and I will sing whatever I want to.

I'm a say whatever I like cause that's me
I am expressing myself freely because that's who I am as a person.

You could take your opinions and eat cheese
I don't care about other people's opinions and I think they are useless.

Check me on 1 I'm not of the moment
I am not trendy, but I am still confident in my unique style.

I am a ???? I live at the MoMA
I am a sophisticated artist who belongs in the Museum of Modern Art.

She going to far now get up to par now
Trying to improve and become better when someone is going too far.

Tiny with a temper I'm a get till I pass out
I may be small, but I am feisty and determined to keep going until I am exhausted.

I wanna see who's really getting their clown on
I want to know who is pretending to be something they're not.

So I'm a keep it this this real from now on
I will continue to be honest and upfront from now on.

Now I been ???? should get you off your back
I have been productive and successful recently, and it should make critics back off.

Do you be free cause I'm me that's that
Be yourself and be free, just like I am doing.

This one's for London this ones for England
This song is dedicated to London and England.

DC Miami L.A. to Beijing
Listing various cities from different parts of the world.

Russia to Rio Paris to Kingston
Continuing to list cities from around the world.

Then back but there ain't no tomorrow to come
We are living in the moment and enjoying the present because we don't know what the future holds.
