The lyrics of Sean Paul's song It's Your Life is a call to live one's life freely and to embrace the fun and joyous moments in life. The first stanza advises people to live on party time and not to worry about problems or waste time with unproductive things. It encourages everyone to enjoy life to the fullest, by letting go of anything that would hold them back from having fun, joy, and a good time. The chorus emphasizes the importance of taking control of one's life and making the most of it because it's their life to live. The song encourages people to be confident, take chances, lose control, and go crazy.
The second stanza talks about a sexual encounter, presumably between the singer and someone else, where the person's body is described as riding the rhythm and whining and grinding. The singer revels in the moment, and there is a sense of control and power that comes from his position as the king, and his partner's willingness to give him what he desires. The chorus repeats, further emphasizing the importance of taking charge of one's life, letting go of control, and having fun.
