Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's My Life ah
Aha aha
That′s right (echo)
I thought you were my man
You said I was your girl
But baby, all you do is drag my ear
And now it's time to jump
I′m with my girls and now it′s crystal clear
(Ohh)
I'm everything you′ve always wanted
(Ohh)
But you don't bring no love
(Ohh)
You can trip but I ain′t on it
No one plays a trip on me cuz it's my life
Everybody looks
Everybody stares
We don′t give a damn
No matter what you think I said
This is not your world
I'm nobody's girl no more
Cuz it′s my life
Thats right (echo)
Don′t be up in my face
It's you I can′t replace
You wanna play
But you can't even hang
Go get yourself off, ooh
The things you say and do
Come back to you like a boomerang
(Ohh)
I′m everything you've always wanted
(Ohh)
But you don′t bring no love
(Ohh)
You can trip but I ain't on it
No one plays a trip on me cuz it's my life
Everybody looks
Everybody stares
We don′t give a damn
No matter what you think I said
This is not your world
I′m nobody's girl no more
Cuz it′s my life and I don't care
There was a time (a time)
When I used to think about you
Every night and day (night and day)
That was so blind (so blind)
Now I see you ain′t my destiny
Everybody looks
Everybody stares
We don't give a damn
No matter what you think I said
This is not your world
I′m nobody's girl no more
Cuz it's my life
Everybody looks
Everybody stares
We don′t give a damn
No matter what you think I said
This is not your world
I′m nobody's girl no more
Cuz it′s my life and I don't care
End
In S. Blush's song "It's My Life," the artist emphasizes being in control of her own life and not allowing anyone else to dictate her decisions. She begins the song by saying she thought the person she was with was her man and that she was his girl, but all he did was drag her down. She expresses that she's done with being controlled and that it's time to move on. S. Blush tells her ex that he can't touch her "hump" and that she's with her girls now. She repeats the phrase "it's my life" throughout the song to emphasize that she's in charge and nobody can bring her down.
The chorus of the song highlights the idea that everyone is watching and staring, but S. Blush and her friends don't care. She asserts that this is not anyone else's world and that she's nobody's girl anymore because it's her life. The second verse is similar to the first in that it describes the person S. Blush is done with as someone who can't hang and needs to get himself off. She sings that the things they say and do come back to them like a boomerang. The final repetition of the chorus signifies that S. Blush is resolute in her decision to live her life on her own terms.
In summary, S. Blush's "It's My Life" is a song about reclaiming control and independence. She refuses to be held down by anyone and is done with allowing others to bring her down.
