My Life Is Good
T.O.P Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life, life is unbelievable
Life, life

[Chorus]
Life is good, life is great
Life is unbelievable
Life is hard, life is cruel
Life is so beautiful
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Life, life is unbelievable
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Life, life is unbelievable

[LFO]
Somewhere in life and yet, on my way to anywhere
A woman named Beatrice serves me coffee
And she smiles as if she cares
It reminds me of this painting
That I think I've often seen
The kings behind the counter, serving coffee to James Dean

[Chorus]

[LFO]
On my way to Garden City, on my way to anywhere
A guy named Patrick gives me directions
And he smiles as if he
It reminds me of this movie
That I think I've often seen
Pretty much this situation, except I'd (?) the queen

[Hook]
So what would you do if you awaked tomorrow
There's no more sorrow, dreams came true
So knock on wood and cross your fingers
And count your blessings, it might be you
What would you do, if you awaked tomorrow
And all your gray skies have now turned blue
How many days do you think you're given
So get on livin', its up to you

[Chorus]

[LFO]
If your soul loves the sun, rock, rock on
Yo I'll be flippin', rippin' the party 'till the break of dawn
If you love rich nights, or you hate rich nights
Just take my advice, and live your life
Cause its yours

[M.O.P.]
Yo my mission is to save this world,
Cause its a never ending task
I don't know where to begin,
And I feel I'm near the end
I don't want to live life doin' petty nonsense
It's hard to sleep at night with a guilty conscience
You know what's really a mess, now I feel blessed
But twenty minutes from now, will it all turn to stress?
I'm twenty-seven years old and Brownsville raised
Upset with all the blood, the sweat, and the tears

[M.O.P.]
Baby its on, a mother shed tears, at the same time, a baby is born
On the other side of town, a life is lost
A young thug was knocked off, and the heat was tossed
Damn, life is real, and so tragic
But don't stop now, live your life, I know its hell for the rough,
But don't talk down on ya man, unless you helpiin' him out
ITS YOURS!

[Hook]

[Chorus]





[Repeat Hook]

He notes that this reminds him of a painting of kings serving coffee to James Dean, and this image emphasizes the unexpected and delightful moments that make life worth living.
