4Thirty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Street dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree
Rah:
24's on a Chevrolet
Peanut butter inside
I'm a let my bitch drive
Steering the wheel
I want her to see just how a rich nigga feel
On tha real
For real
Pro:
I got my mind on my money
Money on my mind
Left hand on the wheel
Otha on my nine
Can you picture this
Ballin on the real motion picture shit
Autographs red carpets everybody taking flicks
Chris:
Nah h-town where you at
Took a trip cross the world in a coupe deville lac
Let'em let'em feel that
Look I'm off in the wind
Let's get this money get this money
Got some paper to spend
Shake it for me shake it for me
Pre-Hook:
Whether you trappin on tha block
Or you work a 9 to 5
Get your money
Stack your paper
Keep a hustle on the side
Go gettas keep it movin
Let them hatas do they job
Drop the top down on ya ride
Show ya grill when you smile
And tell em
(Hook: TJ)
This is tha life
I'm livin' it up (aaao)
It's all that I know
I can't get enough (yeah this is the life)
Street dreams are made of these (aaao)
Who am I to disagree (yeah this is the life)
Chris:
Paper Paper
The only thing my minds on
Steady clockin in my own damn time zone
Let's leave the troubles behind
Smile momma I made it
On this ladder
And I'm destined to climb
Pro:
To the sky
To the sky
It's a bird
It's a plane
4thirty wilding like we won a championship game (cheers)
I'm just happy that we made it here
Blow tha smoke tell dem hoes this is our year
Rah:
Nah tell me whatcha think about it
Got 6 4's on hydrolics
Followed by dem big denali's
Ruff riding on decati's (hey)
Get ya money there's a hunid ways
We ain't tripping cause our money made
(Pre-Hook)
Pro:
Riding by fast on the feeder fuck the interstate
84's white wall tires on that 88
Alpine music bumping sounding like a earthquake
Knocking pictures off the wall rims spinning both ways
Chris:
In my three point stands
Straight up off of the block
4thirty be the gang
Rahddy pass me the rock
Got a pocket full of gwop
Chopping blades in my drop
Crank the heat up just a notch
Hold up chris that's way to hot
Way to hot
Rah:
Wipe me down
I'm on
How ya like me now
Rastafaron
I am soaring
Some where in the clouds
What kind of dro did pro just pass to me
Yeah
It got me higher then giraffe pussy
Yeah
(Pre-Hook)
The song "This is the Life" by 4Thirty featuring TJ Boyce is all about enjoying life and the fruits of one's hard work. The first few lines say "Street dreams are made of these, who am I to disagree" which suggests that living the high life and enjoying the success that comes with it is a dream that many people aspire to, and there's nothing wrong with achieving that dream. The first verse by Rah describes his car - a Chevrolet with 24" rims and peanut butter inside. He talks about his drunkenness and how he's letting his girl drive the car so she can experience the feeling of being wealthy. Pro raps about having his mind on his money and his money on his mind, with one hand on the wheel and the other on his gun. He paints a picture of living a lavish life and getting autographs and red carpet treatment wherever he goes. Chris talks about traveling around the world in his Coupe Deville and making money, then spending it with no worries. They all rap about enjoying life with their friends, smoking weed and living it up.
One interesting aspect of the song is that it features three different rappers, each with a unique style and perspective. Rah's flow is smooth and laid back, while Pro's is more aggressive and passionate. Chris has a distinctive voice and brings a lighter, playful tone to the track. Another interesting fact is that the song incorporates references to various elements of hip hop culture, including car culture, fashion, and drug use. It's a celebration of a specific kind of lifestyle that some rappers have aspired to over the years. The chorus, sung by TJ Boyce, is catchy and memorable, with a repetition of the phrase "this is the life."
Overall, "This is the Life" is a fun and upbeat rap song that celebrates living the high life and enjoying the fruits of one's labor. It's a reminder that hard work pays off and that it's okay to indulge in luxury and excess from time to time. The song's music video features shots of the rappers hanging out with friends, driving around in fancy cars, and generally living it up.

Riding by fast on the feeder fuck the interstate
Driving quickly by the side road instead of the highway
84's white wall tires on that 88
My car has oversized wheels again
Alpine music bumping sounding like a earthquake
The loud music is making the car shake
Knocking pictures off the wall rims spinning both ways
The car's rims are spinning in opposite directions
In my three point stands
I'm in a basketball ready position
Straight up off of the block
Coming directly from the streets
4thirty be the gang
4Thirty is my gang's name
Rahddy pass me the rock
Rahddy, pass me the ball
Got a pocket full of gwop
I have a lot of money
Chopping blades in my drop
Driving fast with my car
Crank the heat up just a notch
Turn up the temperature just a bit
Wipe me down
Clean me up
I'm on
I'm ready
How ya like me now
Do you like me now?
Rastafaron
Rasta in my mind
I am soaring
I feel like I'm flying
Some where in the clouds
In a very high place
What kind of dro did pro just pass to me
What type of marijuana did Pro give me?
Yeah
Yes
It got me higher then giraffe pussy
It got me very high
