Fine lip servers for the Triple see
Words rhymin' best
Can't spell well but I define success
I sell well so I make a toast
The fallen comrades hold the bottles up
We standin' tall fam

This is the life, this is the life
Ain't no stoppin it's champagne for poppin the drought from droppin
This is the life, this is the life
Keep shit poppin these hoes they stay bobbin no stoppin us every night
This is the life, ain't no stoppin

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Shawty Lo feat. Trey Songz's song "This Is The Life" describe a lavish lifestyle filled with money, women, and non-stop partying. The opening lines, "Billionaire yeah you feel me, I have your bitch lacin up my shoes homey" suggest a level of wealth that allows the singer to control and flaunt his power over women. He then goes on to discuss his financial success and the perks that come with it, such as expensive jewelry and luxury cars.

The second verse continues to delve into the singer's life of excess, touching on topics such as groupies, drugs, and fast food. The line "I seen a million it fucked up my life" is a reference to the negative effects that sudden wealth and fame can have on a person. However, the singer seems resolved to continue down this path, admitting that he wouldn't change anything, as "This is the life."


Overall, "This Is The Life" can be interpreted as a celebration of hedonism and material wealth, with the singer reveling in his luxurious, carefree lifestyle.
