This Is The Life
Curren$y Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Still rolling in my Elco on them thiz-angs
Niggas fucking up, they ain't fucking with the pliz-anes
Hits from the bong, Cali strong, got me feeling like I
Could kill a man, but I would rather kill a baseline
These coke laced lines, too dope for most they turn their noses up
Real niggas turn the music up more
Lookin' out the cracked windows, sound and the smoke
Got you high off both, drugs, audio.
Y'all ain't got the heart for it.
Get your cardio, in order bro
Running for the money, pockets double-stuffed, Oreo's
Party over here, bitches feeling like shit in the morning tho
It's the shit life with the Jets, with fair warning.
Hoe call who you gotta call before we be off I live far
And your phone might not have bars
Babydoll break that weed up for me
I break you off something,
Have you running your mouth,
Leading your friends to me

Ah
This is the life.
Break down and roll up.
This is the life.
Ah (lames catch feelings)
This is the life.
Poolside, on rooftops (Jets count millions)
This is the life.

Motor under glass like a pheasant
Jet plans under wraps like presents
Stayed in my lane, gained leverage
Executives checked my credit was merited
We hustling together better than
Going in blindly.
Expectations not met fools get ejected.
Dropped like a Pharcyde record
Gone into hiding like the canvas top of what I driving now
Riding up the block they think I'm moving in the autobot
Hop out, photo op.
Scan for the cops.
If they not about light something for the cool niggas
Roll another one for the ride
Keep that bag that's all you nigga, I'm out.
On another mission, steady paper twistin'
Even when I was a broke nigga, bitches paid attention
On another mission, steady paper twistin'
Even when I was a broke nigga, bitches paid attention

Ah
This is the life.
Break down and roll up.
(lames catch feelings)
This is the life.
Ah
This is the life.
Poolsides on rooftops
(Jets count millions)
This is the life

(Poolsides on rooftops)

This is the life.
Ah
This is the life.
Break down and roll up.
This is the life.
Ah
This is the life.




Poolsides on rooftops
This is the life

Overall Meaning

Curren$y's song "This is the Life" talks about the jet-setting lifestyle of a rapper who is high on drugs and music. He raps about still driving his Elco on hydraulics on "thiz-angs" while the others are ruining their cars. He boasts about smoking strong California weed ("hits from the bong") that makes him feel like he can kill a man but prefers to kill a baseline instead. In other words, he is more interested in producing and enjoying music than picking up fights with others. The chorus reveals that this is the life he chooses and loves - smoking, rolling, partying on rooftops, and counting millions like a jet setter.


He tells the "lames" not to catch feelings, implying that they should not try to act like him because they are not up to the task. Curren$y considers himself a "real nigga" who turns the music up when he hears "coke laced lines" that others might turn their noses up to. He believes that the music and the smoke that is inside his car have the power to take him and his listeners to a different world where they can get "high off both drugs and audio." Curren$y warns his counterparts that they do not have the heart for it and need to get their cardio in order to run for the money.


In conclusion, Curren$y's "This is the Life" is a ballad to a rapper's lifestyle, which is a perfect blend of music, weed, and wealth. Curren$y believes that he is doing what thousands of people dream of every day - and that is living the high life. He seems content with his lifestyle and has no qualms about showing off his wealth and happiness.


Line by Line Meaning

Still rolling in my Elco on them thiz-angs
I am still cruising in my Chevrolet El Camino on cool-looking rims.


Niggas fucking up, they ain't fucking with the pliz-anes
Other rappers are not making good music as they should be.


Hits from the bong, Cali strong, got me feeling like I Could kill a man, but I would rather kill a baseline
The marijuana that I smoked from California is making me feel good, although I am more interested in making good music than harming anyone.


These coke laced lines, too dope for most they turn their noses up
Most people do not appreciate the good music that I make.


Real niggas turn the music up more
Genuine fans appreciate my music even more and listen to it louder.


Lookin' out the cracked windows, sound and the smoke Got you high off both, drugs, audio.
The combination of the music and the marijuana creates an unparalleled feeling of euphoria.


Y'all ain't got the heart for it. Get your cardio, in order bro Running for the money, pockets double-stuffed, Oreo's
It takes heart to chase after money and success, which requires stamina and agility like someone preparing for a race. A lot of money is desirable just as a lot of filling is desirable in an Oreo cookie.


Party over here, bitches feeling like shit in the morning tho It's the shit life with the Jets, with fair warning.
This is the party lifestyle with lots of girls, but they are not ready for it after a late night of partying. This is the lavish lifestyle that the Jets are known for, and others should expect it.


Hoe call who you gotta call before we be off I live far And your phone might not have bars Babydoll break that weed up for me I break you off something, Have you running your mouth, Leading your friends to me
Call whomever you need to be sure that we can keep in touch. I live far away, so there might not be a good signal. Please prepare the marijuana for me to smoke, and in exchange, I will give you money, which will make you talk more and tell your friends about me.


Motor under glass like a pheasant Jet plans under wraps like presents Stayed in my lane, gained leverage
The motor of my expensive car is covered up and looks fancy. My plans to travel by private jets are kept secret and wrapped up like gifts. I stayed true to my lifestyle of rapping about street hustling and gained success because of it.


Executives checked my credit was merited
People in charge of the record company checked my credit, realizing that I was trustworthy and responsible.


We hustling together better than Going in blindly. Expectations not met fools get ejected. Dropped like a Pharcyde record
We work better when we collaborate with others than when we work alone, without a clear sense of what to do. Those who do not meet our expectations or behave foolishly will be kicked out, just like when a record is dropped from a music label.


Gone into hiding like the canvas top of what I driving now Riding up the block they think I'm moving in the autobot Hop out, photo op. Scan for the cops. If they not about light something for the cool niggas Roll another one for the ride Keep that bag that's all you nigga, I'm out. On another mission, steady paper twistin' Even when I was a broke nigga, bitches paid attention
I am driving a car with a canvas top that is now hidden from view. As I am driving up the block, some people think that I am a character from the Transformers movie. I get out, pose for a photo, and look around for any police officers. If they are not in the area, we can all relax and smoke marijuana. We can smoke another one while we ride; you can keep the bag of marijuana. I am always working hard to make money and attract girls, even when I was broke.


Poolsides on rooftops
We are always living the best life, relaxing by the pool or on a luxurious rooftop.
