Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need some cash back
They say it happen for a reason but I’m past that
Keep spinning keep spinning we need some get back
Put the pain in the bullets tell them feel that
They took Chris they took Lou how we going bounce back
Keep telling me to hold my head but the tears heavy
Keep saying life moves on but I’m not ready
Words can’t express the feeling when I got that call
Remember us fucking them bitches down in DR
Can give a fuck about what they say you a superstar
You done showed ya Lil niggas how to drag and ball
Every city every club it’s like ah light show
Thrill know macky know Greer know
Tone know Sanny know Kyier know
Blair know Scoe know Jordan know
Low know, the city know, the world know
Just one more day I know the lord know
Too young to write his own will
How the fuck we get to here we was on the leer
Pj’s champagne for the whole gang
PTF big chains nigga diamond rings
Shoutout to your niggas in zone 18
Kill the real leave the fakes it’s ah cold game
Swear wit out you big drip it’s just ain’t the same
Swear wit it out my nigga Lou could never be the same
They say give a person flowers while they still here
That’s why we popped rosé nigga fuck beer
And I’m still shedding tears
Swear to God I’m still shedding tears
This shit ain’t real
Swear to God
This ain’t real
The lyrics of "One Way to Life" by Jean-Pierre Taïeb (featuring E.T.) delve deep into the emotions of loss, pain, and the struggle to come to terms with the harsh realities of life. The singer expresses exhaustion with the idea of accepting difficult situations as just part of the game, longing for some sort of restitution or compensation for the hardships faced. They acknowledge that things may happen for reasons beyond their understanding, but they have reached a point where they cannot simply move on and need to find a way to reclaim what has been lost.
The repeated phrases "Keep spinning keep spinning we need some get back" and "Put the pain in the bullets tell them feel that" suggest a desire for retaliation or retribution against those who have caused harm or inflicted pain. The singer mentions the losses of individuals named Chris and Lou, questioning how they will be able to recover or bounce back from such devastating blows. Despite being urged to stay strong and carry on by others, the weight of grief and sorrow feels unbearable, making it difficult to see a way forward.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a tight-knit group of friends or associates who shared unforgettable experiences together, such as partying and traveling to different places. The references to specific individuals like Macky, Greer, and Jordan, as well as memorable moments in the Dominican Republic, demonstrate the bonds and memories that are now tinged with a sense of loss and nostalgia. The singer praises their friend's prowess on the basketball court, highlighting the impact they had on those around them as a role model and leader.
The final lines of the song reflect on the idea of showing appreciation and love to those we care about while they are still alive, rather than waiting until it is too late. The mention of celebrating with rosé instead of beer signifies a sense of luxury and extravagance, perhaps as a way to honor and cherish the moments shared with loved ones. The raw emotion conveyed through the lines "And I’m still shedding tears / Swear to God I’m still shedding tears / This shit ain’t real / Swear to God / This ain’t real" encapsulates the lingering disbelief and heartache of facing the profound loss of a dear friend. The singer grapples with the harsh reality of their absence, struggling to accept the enormity of the void left behind.

This is my life put into a song, no hope, little happiness, the feeling that’s it’s over . This song is the best thing I’ve heard in my life and can be applied to any sad part in life. It brings me to tears, something so little does.
