Good Life
Faith Evans (Feat. Ja Rule Vita and Caddillac Tah) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Getting no break
Gotta take a day off to unwind
It gives me time to get away
A little time to ease my mind, my mind tonight
Forget about your worries
Save your problems for tomorrow
Let the DJ make it easy
Let the music help you do it
Tell me don't you want to live the good life
The Good Life
Good friends, no stresses
The Good Life
Laid back, relaxed in
The Good Life
Good love, no messes
The Good Life
want to live in the Good Life
Dancing with a glass of champagne
Or maybe Chardonay, keep me feeling good all night
See so many happy people on the floor
Leave your problems at the door, the door
Forget about your worries
Save your problems for tomorrow
Tonight just try to have a good time
Let the DJ make it easy
Let the music help you do it
Tell me don't you want to live the good life
The Good Life
Good friends, no stresses
The Good Life
Laid back, relaxed in
The Good Life
Good love, no messes
The Good Life
want to live in the Good Life
The Good Life
Good friends, no stresses
The Good Life
Laid back, relaxed in
The Good Life
Good love, no messes
The Good Life
want to live in the Good Life
We'll dance the night away
Inside it feels so good I want to stay
although I hate I have to go
And face another day
I'm gonna get my groove on and party, party
Forget about your worries
Save your problems for tomorrow
Tonight just try to have a good time
Let the DJ make it easy
Let the music help you do it
Tell me don't you want to live the good life
[Faith](Flex)
The Good Life
Don't you want to live in
The Good Life
Laid back, relaxed in
The Good Life
Good friends, good lovin'
The Good Life
Oh I want to live the good life
(Yeah, exactly)
The Good Life
(Ha, ha)
Tell me do you want to live
(You know what I mean)
The Good Life
(Shout to Bad Boy and shout to my man Puff Daddy)
Laying back, just relaxin'
(Alright, Faith Evans, Todd, all of that)
The Good Life...
(Funk Flex 60 minutes of Funk, now we gonna do it So So Def style)
The song "Good Life Remix" by Faith Evans talks about taking a break from the daily hustle and bustle to enjoy life's simple pleasures. The opening lines criticize the mundane routine of working seven days a week without a break. Evans advocates for taking a break to unwind and recharge, as this gives our minds time to relax and rejuvenate. The chorus encourages listeners to forget their worries and allow the DJ's music to take them away into the "Good Life." The Good Life is defined in terms of good friends, love, and no stress – essentially, the simple pleasures in life that we often take for granted.
The song ends on a positive note, with Evans encouraging listeners to dance the night away, enjoy the moment, and face the next day with renewed energy. Overall, the song's message is that we should take a moment to enjoy the good things in life and not let our daily struggles consume us entirely.
