It's My Life
Dr Alban feat Adriana Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's my life, take it or leave it
Set me free, what's that crap papa-know-it-all?
I got my own life, you got your own life
Live your own life and set me free
Mind your business and leave my business
You know everything papa-know-it-all
Very little knowledge is dangerous
Stop bugging me, stop bothering me

Stop bugging me, stop fussing me
Stop fighting me, stop yelling me, it's my life

It's my life (it's my life, my worries)
It's my life (it's my life, my problems)
It's my life (it's my life, my worries)
It's my life (it's my life, my problems)

It's my life, do you understand?
I live the way I want to live
I make decisions day and night
Show me signs and good examples
Stop telling me how to run your business
Take a trip to east and west
You find that you don't know anything
Every's getting tired of you
Sometimes you have to look and listen
You can even learn from me
Little knowledge is dangerous, it's my life

It's my life (it's my life, my worries)
It's my life (it's my life, my problems)
It's my life (it's my life, my worries)
It's my life (it's my life, my problems)

It's my life, set me free
So you bed, so you lie
What you see is what you get
Listen to people and sort things out
Things I do I do them no more
Things I say I say them no more
Changes come once in life
Stop bugging me, stop bothering me
Stop bugging me, stop fussing me
Stop fighting me, stop yelling me
Stop telling me, stop seeing me, it's my life

It's my life (it's my life, my worries)
It's my life (it's my life, my problems)
It's my life (it's my life, my worries)
It's my life (it's my life, my problems)

It's my life (it's my life)
It's my life (it's my life)
It's my life (oh, oh, oh)
It's my life

It's my life (stop bugging me, stop bothering me)
It's my life (stop fussing me, stop yelling at me)
It's my life (it's my life)
It's my life (it's my life)

It's my life (stop bugging me, stop bothering me)
It's my life (stop fussing me, stop yelling at me)

It's my life (it's my life)
It's my life

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "It's My Life" by Dr Alban feat Adriana are a message of empowerment, encouraging listeners to be true to themselves and pursue their own paths in life. The singer asserts that he has the right to live his life on his own terms, without interference from others, specifically referencing a critical, overbearing figure who is labeled a "papa-know-it-all". He urges this person to "mind your business and leave my business," asserting that their interference is not helpful and may, in fact, be harmful due to their limited knowledge and understanding.

The chorus repeats the phrase, "It's my life" four times in a row, emphasizing the singer's assertion of his independence and autonomy. He acknowledges that there may be challenges and problems in his life, but they are his to overcome and he does not need anyone else to dictate how he should handle them. At the same time, he invites others to learn from him and encourages them to seek out knowledge and good examples, but urges them to do so without imposing their expectations on him.

Overall, the song is a celebration of individuality and self-determination, a declaration that each person has the right to control their own life and make their own choices.
