Good Life
Sammy Rae & The Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could just reach out, I could take it
Take a bite of it and save it
And he's talking ’bout some stupid sneakers he wore
He said, I get 'em where they make it
Ain't no middle man to fake it
For a couple weeks I could feel it comin, a
A tin of mints, and a pack of gum and
We're freshenin up cause the morning's comin
Bittersweet for the most part bitter
Its one part sweet and its two parts bitter
It's one part sweet, I think
It's one part sweet and it’s two parts bitter
I got a taste of the good life in the middle of the night
It was about 4 o’clock on a Friday
As in 4 am one Saturday
And I got a taste of the good life, I was feelin alright
And I was in the backseat, it was a long day
I was in a taxi on the Cross Island Parkway
The lyrics of "Good Life" by Sammy Rae & The Friends are focused on the desire for wealth and material luxuries, as well as the willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve them. The song starts by describing the dreams of a woman who wants to escape the poverty she grew up with and live a glamorous life. She wants designer clothes and shoes, expensive drinks and coffee, all things that were not within her reach before. Similarly, the man in the song also craves a luxurious lifestyle with VIP status, multiple cars, and the satisfaction of owning things rather than renting.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that many people want this kind of lifestyle, and they will go to great lengths to get even a small taste of it. The lyrics describe this as "slitting throats" in the pursuit of material wealth. Furthermore, the second verse talks about how the singer herself desires the same things, mentioning a mansion and a Lamborghini, showing that this excessive desire creates an endless cycle of wanting more.
Overall, "Good Life" is a commentary on the realities of wealth and the destructive nature of consumerism. The song exposes the toxicity that comes with the pursuit of the material things of life.

[Verse 1]
The moon has never been so close before
I could just reach out, I could take it
Take a bite of it and save it
And he's talking ’bout some stupid sneakers he wore
He said, "I get 'em where they make it
Ain't no middle man to fake it"
[Pre-Chorus]
For a couple weeks I could feel it comin’, a
Couple days I could hear the drummin', a
A tin of mints, and a pack of gum and
We're freshenin' up cause the morning's comin'
Bittersweet for the most part bitter
It's one part sweet and it's two parts bitter
It’s one part sweet, I think
It’s one part sweet and it's two parts bitter
[Chorus]
I got a taste of the good life in the middle of the night
It was about 4 o’clock on a Friday
As in 4 am on Saturday
And I got a taste of the good life, I was feelin' alright
And I was in the backseat, it was a long day
I was in a taxi on the Cross Island Parkway
It's the kind of the thing where you can never be sure
If it's for worse or it’s for better
And it ain't no laughin' matter
He's been keepin' calm, collected, I'm insecure
And it doesn't matter where he bought it
All that matters is he got it
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause a couple weeks I could feel it comin', a
Couple days I could hear the drummin', a
A tin of mints, and a pack of gum and
We're freshenin' up as the morning's comin', ahh
Bittersweet for the most part bitter
It's one part sweet and it's two parts bitter
It's one part sweet, I think
It's one part sweet and it's two parts bitter
[Chorus]
I got a taste of the good life in the middle of the night
It was about 4 o'clock on a Friday
As in 4 am on a Saturday
And I got a taste of the good life, I was feelin' alright
And I was in the backseat, it was a long day
I was in a taxi on the Cross Island Parkway

[Pre-Chorus]
Couple weeks I could feel it comin', and a
Couple days I could hear the drummin', and a
Tin of mints, and a pack of gum and
We're freshenin' up, morning's comin'
Bittersweet for the most part bitter
It's one part sweet and it's two parts bitter
It's one part sweet, and I think
It's one part sweet a little too bitter
[Chorus]
I got a taste of the good life in the middle of the night
It was about 4 o'clock on a Friday
And it was too early 'cause it was Saturday
I got a taste of the good life, I was feelin' alright
I was in the backseat, it was a long day
I was in a taxi on the Cross Island Parkway
