That's The Life
James and The Giant Peach Lyrics

CILLA, CILLA
Starting off the song by shouting out to Cilla Black.

CILLA BLACK, yeah
Acknowledging the famous singer and TV personality Cilla Black.

I'm on a plane sipping grain
Currently on an airplane, drinking alcohol made from grains (likely whiskey or vodka).

Another European city shut down nightclubs
In multiple cities in Europe, nightclubs are currently closed or shutting down. This could be due to legal regulations, COVID-19 restrictions, or other reasons.

That's a mad buzz
This is an exciting and crazy experience.

I'm on a plane sipping grain that's my life cuz

Repeating that many nightclubs are closed or shutting down in Europe.

We are traveling the world that's a nice buzz
Being able to travel the world is another exciting experience for this person.

Been working on my streams like some mad floods
Spending a lot of time and effort on creating and improving their music.

Entertain for the fame what the mind does
Performing music and being famous is what drives this person and their mind.

Sifting through these Kitty's found a lifer
Going through groupies and fans, the person has found someone who is special and could be a long-term partner.

Just in time to have another cypher
Right before another rap session, the person found someone special.

I can't even sleep that's my night cuz
Being excited and busy with music and touring is causing this person to have trouble sleeping at night.

You think life is easy, no doubt when man chats so greazy, yeah
Life may seem easy, but it can be difficult when people speak negatively about you behind your back.

Got bagged for talking about me like brown so seedy can't talk freely, what what
Someone got in trouble for speaking negatively about this person behind their back.

Quick Venom and bite, hold tight
Combatting negative talk with a quick, harsh response.

Let's talk about greed see who gets wheezy
Discussing the negative effects of greed and seeing how people react to it.

And while your looking at them, who's them?
Pointing out that when people look at others' negative actions, they may not realize their own faults.

Counteract what hurts so deeply
Trying to overcome deep emotional pain caused by others' negative actions or words.

What's that? Thick clothes these guys want a runaway hoe
Commenting on some men's desire for a promiscuous woman, as shown by their thick clothing (which could indicate their wealth).

Hold knives for a little bitcoin Netflix and chill should be the only way forward
Instead of resorting to violence for the sake of financial gain, relaxing and watching Netflix with someone should be the better option.

Got thrashed so there disenjoined
Someone attacked this person, causing them to separate or break away from their group.

Hope drugs are gonna fill that void
Trying to cope with emotional pain and trauma by using drugs.

And I never want to reach that point
Not wanting to reach a point where drugs become necessary to cope with emotional pain.

Better pressure when you hear that voice
Feeling pressure and motivation to succeed when hearing the voice inside that tells you to keep going.

Tryna find a space, parking lot
Looking for a place to park or reside.

Never hiding from my race, astronaut
Acknowledging one's own race but still reaching for the stars and striving for success (like an astronaut).

Manifesting all my dreams, juggernauts
Taking control and making one's dreams a reality, even if it requires a great deal of effort (like a juggernaut).

If you have to choose a team feel an aftershock
Choosing a team or cause should come with a powerful and motivating sense of purpose or impact (like an aftershock).
