Life Is Short
Ski Mask the Slump God Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In New York calculating like a dork
Kill Bill, tracksuit, 'preme shorts
Life's short what it's worth, wrist work
Life's short smoke a port on a port
In New York calculating like a dork, bitch
Kill Bill, tracksuit, 'preme shorts
Life's short what it's worth, wrist work
I, can't, pocket an L from my enemy
You, won't, suck up or fuck up my energy
Chef, boyardee, bitch I'm whippin up sauce, ya see
Down, to the, bullshit you talking the jealousy
Ice cubes on a nigga neck like is we there yet
Mac, turn your guts to macaroni wet
Good pussy sound like macaroni best wet
Never let another nigga try yo set
Wanna be the best don't hold your breathe
Looking at my garments and they stripped like ness
Life's short smoke a port on a port
In New York calculating like a dork
Kill Bill, tracksuit, 'preme shorts
Life's short what it's worth, wrist work
Life's short smoke a port on a port
In New York calculating like a dork, bitch
Kill Bill, tracksuit, 'preme shorts
Life's short what it's worth, wrist work
The lyrics of "Life Is Short" by SKI MASK THE SLUMP GOD are a contemplation on the fleeting and transient nature of life, and the importance of making the most of it while it lasts. The opening lines urge the listener to indulge in the pleasures of smoking and drinking, symbolizing the hedonistic desire to enjoy life to the fullest. The second line references the subject's location in New York, where they are busy "calculating like a dork", suggesting that despite the desire for pleasure, they are also focused on success and financial gain.
The following lines reference pop culture icon Kill Bill, and the streetwear brand Supreme, which are both synonymous with coolness and edginess. The use of "wrist work" alludes to the hard work and effort necessary to achieve success and make the most of life. The second verse suggests that the subject is aware of the negativity and jealousy of others around them, but remains self-assured and focused on their own goals. References to luxury items such as "ice cubes" and "macaroni" underscore the theme of hedonism and indulgence, while the final lines encourage the listener to strive for greatness without sacrificing their own authenticity and individuality.
Overall, the song reflects on the often contradictory desires for pleasure and success, and the balance necessary to achieve both while staying true to oneself.
