While talking about the making of "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" with Complex, Nicki Minaj said Kanye really likes watching porn:
"I go to the studio and he has nothing but pictures of naked women on his computer that he’d invite me to look at. They were really artsy pictures, but you know he loves nudity, so it was a complete shock to me, ‘cause I thought I had him all figured out, but I didn’t. He was watching porn when we were in the studio—no shame in his game."
An interesting aspect of this song is that despite the title, you never once hear Kanye say the “f” in “Life”, making it sound like “Hell of a Lie” for the entirety of the song. This could mean that Kanye deems the famous lifestyle as a lie to those who aren’t in it and are dreaming of it. The missing “f” sound is prominent in the meaning of these lines:
"I think I fell in love with a pornstar
And got married in the bathroom
Honeymoon on the dance floor
And got divorced by the end of the night
That’s one hell of a life"
This tells us his fantasies with a pornstar were all an illusion.
“Hell of a Life” was certified gold by the RIAA on July 6, 2022.
Hell of a Life
Kanye West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn the camera on, she a born star
Turn the corners in a foreign car
Call the coroners do the C.P.r.
She gave that old nigga an ulcer
Bitter sweet taste made his gold tooth ache (uh)
Make a knee shake, make a priest faint (uh)
Make a nun cum, make her cremate (uh)
Livin' life like we on a sweep stakes (what?)
We headed to hell for heaven's sakes (huh?)
Well I'ma levitate, make the devil wait (yeah)
Have you lost your mind?
Tell me when you think we've crossed the line
No more drugs for me
Pussy and religion is all I need
Grab my hand and
Baby we'll live a hell of a life
Never in your wildest dreams
Never in your wildest dreams
In your wildest
You can hear the loudest screams
Comin' from inside the screen
You a wild bitch
Tell me what I gotta do to be that guy
Said her price go down, she ever fuck a black guy
Or do anal, or do a gang bang
It's kinda crazy, that's all considered the same thing
Well I guess a lot of niggas do gang bang
And if we run trains, we all in the same gang
Runaway slaves all on a chain gang
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Have you lost your mind?
Tell me when you think we've crossed the line
No more drugs for me
Pussy and religion is all I need
Grab my hand and
Baby we'll live a hell of a life
One day I'm gon' marry a porn star
We'll have a big ass crib and a long yard
We'll have a mansion and some fly maids
Nothin' to hide, we both screwed the bridesmaids
She wanna roll play, 'til I roll over
I'ma need a whole day, at least roll doja
What party is we goin' to on Oscar day?
Especially if she can't get that dress form Oscar De
La Renta, they wouldn't rent her, they couldn't take the shame
That's a dress of her back and told her get away
How could you say they live they life wrong?
When you never fuck wit' the lights on
(Fuck wit' the lights, fuck wit' the, wit' the lights on)
(Fuck wit' the lights, fuck wit' the, wit' the lights on)
(Fuck wit' the lights, fuck wit' the, wit' the lights on)
(Fuck wit' the lights, fuck wit' the, wit' the lights on)
(Fuck wit' the lights, fuck wit' the, wit' the lights on)
(Fuck wit' the lights, fuck wit' the, wit' the lights on)
Have you lost your mind?
Tell me what you think, we've crossed the line
No more drugs for me
Pussy and religion is all I need
Grand my hand
Baby we'll live a hell of a life
I think I fell in love with a porn star
And got married in the bathroom
Honeymoon on the dance floor
And got divorced by the end of the night
That's one hell of a life

You would have never thought
You can hear the loudest screams
The pornography industry can be very loud and intense
Comin' from inside the screen
The sounds are coming from the video we are watching
You a wild bitch
You are an untamed woman
Tell me what I gotta do to be that guy
Advise me on how to be the man that you desire
Said her price go down, she ever fuck a black guy
She mentioned that she would lower her rate for sex with a black man
Or do anal, or do a gang bang
She is open to performing sexual acts that are considered taboo by some
It's kinda crazy, that's all considered the same thing
It is strange that these acts are all seen as equally extreme
Well I guess a lot of niggas do gang bang
There are many men who engage in group sex with women
And if we run trains, we all in the same gang
If we participate in group sex with one woman, we are considered a collective
Runaway slaves all on a chain gang
The comparison is made between group sex and the oppression of black people
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
The repetition of the word represents the intensity of group sex
One day I'm gon' marry a porn star
I plan to marry a woman who works in pornography
We'll have a big ass crib and a long yard
We will own a large and luxurious home
We'll have a mansion and some fly maids

Nothin' to hide, we both screwed the bridesmaids
We were both intimate with the bridesmaids at our wedding

I'ma need a whole day, at least roll doja
I will need an entire day to relax and smoke marijuana
What party is we goin' to on Oscar day?
Which party will we attend on the day of the Academy Awards?
Especially if she can't get that dress form Oscar De
Particularly if she cannot obtain a dress from Oscar De La Renta
La Renta, they wouldn't rent her, they couldn't take the shame
The designer would not lend her a dress because of her profession
That's a dress of her back and told her get away
She was denied a dress and asked to leave
How could you say they live they life wrong?
How can you claim their way of living is immoral?
When you never fuck wit' the lights on
When you have never had sex with the lights on
(Fuck wit' the lights, fuck wit' the, wit' the lights on)
The phrase is repeated to emphasize the importance of having sex with the lights on
I think I fell in love with a porn star
I believe I am in love with a woman who works in pornography
And got married in the bathroom
We had a spontaneous and untraditional wedding
Honeymoon on the dance floor
Our honeymoon coincided with a night of dancing
And got divorced by the end of the night
Our marriage was short-lived and dysfunctional
That's one hell of a life
Our experiences have been intense and unconventional
