Lil' Uzi Vert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

That's true, that's right
She's sipping Moet, and yeah I swear it gets her wetter
My Louboutins new, so my bottoms they is redder
No I'm not a rat but I'm all about my cheddar
Just talked to your homie she said we should be together
Gave me brain, was so insane that I made her my header
If she ever call my phone you know I gotta dead her
But I like that girl too much, I wish I never met her
(Hello) I was listening to this song
It goes like

I know it hurts sometimes but you'll get over it
You'll find another life to live
I swear that you'll get over it
I know you're sad and tired
You've got nothing left to give
You'll find another life to live
I know that you'll get over it

Wish I never ever ever told you things
I was only only trying to show you things
Iced out heart on your neck trying to froze your ring
I had to get a me a new bitch to hold the pain
We was in Hawaii looking at the rain
She smiling happy but I'm laughing 'cause her new mans a lame
(Broke boy, broke boy, broke boy, broke boy)
That just goes to show me money don't attract a thing (real shit)
Stuck to the plan even though you used to go with my mans (oh get over it)

I know it hurts sometimes but you'll get over it
You'll find another life to live
I swear that you'll get over it
And I know you're sad and tired
You've got nothing left to give
You'll find another life to live
I know that you'll get over it

See I tied up my RAF, you strapped up your Rick
Diamonds on your neck, ice all on my wrist
Compliment my style
She don't want me, I'm running wild
You know I respect her on that level
She don't want me then I'mma let her
Go over there with that broke fella
Walk off my Saint Laurent, that leather
My new chick I swear that she better
Want me back, never (ooh)

That's true, that's right
She's sipping Moet, and yeah I swear it gets her wetter
My Louboutins new, so my bottoms they is redder
No I'm not a rat but I'm all about my cheddar
Just talked to your homie she said we should be together
Gave me brain, was so insane that I made her my header
If she ever call my phone you know I gotta dead her
But I like that girl too much, I wish I never met her

I know it hurts sometimes but you'll get over it (woah)
You'll find another life to live
I swear that you'll get over it (you'll get over it)
I know it hurts sometimes but you'll get over it (no,no)
You'll find another life to live (you will)
I know that you'll get over it (oh)

That's true, that's right
She's sipping Moet, and yeah I swear it gets her wetter
My Louboutins new, so my bottoms they is redder
No I'm not a rat but I'm all about my cheddar
Just talked to your homie she said we should be together
Gave me brain, was so insane that I made her my header
If she ever call my phone you know I gotta dead her
But I like that girl too much, I wish I never met her

Overall Meaning

In the opening verses of Lil' Uzi Vert's "The Way Life Goes," the rapper paints a vivid picture of a luxurious lifestyle, with references to designer brands like Moet and Louboutin. The imagery of wealth and opulence is juxtaposed with lines about betrayal and heartbreak, as he mentions a romantic relationship gone sour. Despite his material possessions, he is ultimately consumed by the emotional toll of a failed romance. The mention of being "all about my cheddar" signifies his focus on money and success, yet it is clear that these external markers of success cannot shield him from the pain of a broken heart.


As the song progresses, Lil' Uzi Vert transitions into a more introspective tone, acknowledging the pain and weariness that come with heartbreak. The repeated refrain of "I know it hurts sometimes but you'll get over it" conveys a sense of resilience and hope for a better future. The lyrics suggest a belief in the power of time and healing, emphasizing that pain is temporary and that one can move on to find a new path in life. The song becomes a soothing reassurance to listeners who may be going through their own heartbreak or struggles.


The narrative takes a more bitter turn as Lil' Uzi Vert reflects on his regrets and mistakes in the relationship. He expresses remorse over revealing too much and trying to impress his partner with material possessions like jewelry. The mention of a new partner to "hold the pain" hints at his attempts to numb the emotional wounds with a new fling, yet it is clear that he still harbors feelings for the girl he wishes he never met. The tone shifts to a mix of resentment and self-awareness, as he realizes the futility of using money to attract love and the consequences of his actions.


In the final verses, Lil' Uzi Vert acknowledges the complexity of relationships and the need to let go when someone no longer reciprocates feelings. Despite his attachment to the girl, he recognizes the necessity of moving on and accepting that some connections are not meant to last. The juxtaposition of material possessions and emotional struggles highlights the internal conflict faced by the rapper, as he grapples with heartache amidst a backdrop of luxury and excess. Ultimately, "The Way Life Goes" delves into themes of love, loss, and growth, offering a raw and introspective look at the complexities of human relationships and the resilience needed to overcome heartbreak.
