Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Compte en sse-Sui
Merco Benz, Lamborghini
J-Lo, Beyoncé (Biatch!)
Jack, bédo, je suis défoncé
Deux couilles, un cerveau pour m'en sortir
Izer, dans le building izer je monte un empire
Haha, je compte les bolosses pour m'endormir
Nouvelle paire de Five, pèse comme 200 braquo
Glock seventeen, kala-kalashnikov draco
2Chainz dans le building,
Mon Lambo sort de l'usine
Je suis dans le paiement cash négro
T'es dans le leasing
Trop de gos, je choisis laquelle?
Bad boy, on est àl man
B2O vient de Bakel,
Je suis noir, mat, je suis comme Batman
Lion indomptable je croyais que je étais gal-Sèn,
Mais en fait je suis Camer
Compte jusqu'à 5 renoi, va niquer ta mère
Je contrôle la zone je suis en enquête
Or jaune comme les ancêtres
Noir, blanc, je suis la Juve
Je ne mens que chez la juge
140 kilogrammes, 10 reps
Je veux une meuf matérialiste comme ça
Je suis sur de la baiser direct
Depuis le bac à sable on te hagar, C'est la vie!
340 flashé au radar, C'est la vie!
Je p-je pèse comme au Qatar, C'est la vie!
Fais-toi une raison petit bâtard, C'est la vie!
Euros, euros, euros, euros, euros, euros, euros, euros, izi
Petit bâtard, C'est la vie!
I'm strapped up and I'm violent,
'bout to start a riot
See this chick,
Take her to the bathroom and I fucked her on the toilet
Live life, get right
You get wrong, and I click clack,
And I shoot your ass, it'll be goodnight
Wake up, good luck,
I'm riding 'round with my top down
Ride around, all eyes on me,
So I'm ridin' around wit' 2Pac now
Causing mass hysteria, France to America
Nobody comparin' us
Every line is angel dust,
That means it's dope nigga
You can get high, on one of my quotes nigga
B.O.A.T.S. nigga. That's based on a true story
Fuck around and get you buried,
Stack my money high like two storey
Hey baby, are you okay baby?
I'll buy you so many purses you will be a bag lady
My swag crazy, and my cash crazy
Two hundred on the dash', I'm doing 180
Depuis le bac à sable on te hagar, C'est la vie!
340 flashé au radar, C'est la vie!
Je p-je pèse comme au Qatar, C'est la vie!
Fais-toi une raison petit bâtard, C'est la vie!
Euros, euros, euros, euros, euros, euros, euros, euros, izi
Petit bâtard, C'est la vie!
Tous les soirs c'est le four,
Tous les soirs c'est le hala
Love pour tous mes vautours, Brazza tu n'es pas là
Yahia, Poulos, Lourd-Lourd, Ibou, Mala
Longue vie à nous incha'Allah,
Longue vie à vous incha'Allah
Rate-Pi, violent, Rap Game sanguinolent
Bakel City Gang, fume de la François Hollande
Passe toi la chatte au carwash
Va m'faire un kahwa
Punchline, K1, gamos est de Allemagne
AMG, Brabus, t'as no swag Laurent Fabius
Ünkut nouvelle collec'
Zéro heures zéro sur ma Rolex
MC désespéré, sans selle sur le Solex
Poulos m'a dit vas-y molo avec ces boloss
Mode piranha sur le BPM
Renoi bouge pas, je crois que Rihanna me BBM
Comme toi elle voudrait goûter au Bakel City Gang
Le rap français vient de se faire shooter,
Izi izi, bang bang
Depuis le bac à sable on te hagar, C'est la vie!
340 flashé au radar, C'est la vie!
Je p-je pèse comme au Qatar, C'est la vie!
Fais-toi une raison petit bâtard, C'est la vie!
Euros, euros, euros, euros, euros, euros, euros, euros, izi

The lyrics of the song "C'est La Vie" by Booba featuring 2Chainz are largely about a hedonistic lifestyle and enjoying the fruits of one's labor. Booba brags about his expensive cars, celebrity crushes, and drug use. He also boasts about his business acumen and his ability to overcome obstacles with his intelligence and courage. The chorus, "C'est La Vie," roughly translates to "That's life," and suggests that this lavish lifestyle is just part of the natural course of things.
Booba's lyrics also contain a heavy dose of bravado and aggression. He threatens those who speak poorly of him, suggesting that he is not to be trifled with. He also references violence and gun use, indicating a willingness to use force to ensure his dominance. Interestingly, 2Chainz's verse takes a more lighthearted tone, with him rapping about his sexual exploits and high-speed car chases.
Overall, "C'est La Vie" presents a portrait of a wealthy, powerful, and dangerous person living life on their own terms. The lyrics suggest a lack of concern for consequences and a love for the thrill of the moment. While it may be a hedonistic lifestyle, it is also one steeped in danger and risk.
