The Good Life
The N.P.G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life's good, It Is
Life's good, It Is
Life's good, Hmmm
It's always the bitter that
Make a fuss
Pop me a bottle, Freedoms a must
I pray that you hoes getta bag up
Shit bagged up
Shouldn't mind me
You should watch your man, Nigga suckin coochie in a headstand
Didn't you get the video last week
But you wanna talk
So I gotta speak
Life's Good
Life's good, It Is
Life's good, Hmmm
Life's good, It Is
It must be the love
I get on the gram
Or how can I kick it like, Ricky tan
Could be the way
I light up a room
All of this talk
You still number 2
Bitches will rate me
Still hate me
On the down low
Wanna date me
I'm courtside
In a pandemic
You a rug rat
Call her Angelica
Life's good, It Is
Life's good
Life's good
Life's good
Talkin all week
That's too much shots
Breath Smellin like a 100 twatts
Had to part ways
Like your breast bitch
All of this talk, On the net bitch
You should eat a dick and watch Netflix
I'm a R Kelly victim and no whip
But got 2 ignitions I could slide with
Ain't nuttin poppin, less I sign shit
Keep cryin like a side bitch
You was fuckin dubs
Now you fucin twatts
Hard to line a bitch
That'll call the cops
All these batteries
Got you cum drunk
Probly where you got that lip bump
Uber sticker on ya mans whip
Bet you duck down when you ride bitch
I swing bottles
You swing pussy
Stained panties
Baby don't
"The Good Life" by The N.P.G. is a rap song that highlights the luxurious lifestyle of the rapper. The lyrics talk about the good life and how it is always a bitter thing that catches people's attention. The opening lines of the song feature the titular phrase "Life's good, Taaylee/Life's good, It Is/Life's good, It Is/Life's good, Hmmm" which is repeated at different intervals throughout the song. The rapper emphasizes how the good life is manifested through the freedom that comes from popping a bottle, or acquiring money "bagged up."
As the song progresses, the rapper talks about the negativity that surrounds them, including people talking about them on social media and text message ("Shouldn't mind me/You should watch your man, Nigga suckin coochie in a headstand/Didn't you get the video last week/But you wanna talk/So I gotta speak"). Despite this negativity, the rapper highlights how their love on social media, ability to attract attention ("I get on the gram"), and charisma ("Could be the way/I light up a room") place them above their detractors ("All of this talk/You still number 2/Bitches will rate me/Still hate me") and produce a sense of superiority.
Overall, "The Good Life" reinforces images of opulence and material wealth as an indication of one's worth, while weaving in elements of male bravado, misogyny, and a sense of superiority over the perceived foes.

Instead of worrying about me, you should pay attention to your man who was caught on video performing oral sex on someone upside down. But you still want to talk about me, so I have to defend myself.

All of this talk
You still number 2
I must be doing something right to get so much love on social media, and maybe it's because of my charismatic personality. Despite all the talk and hate, I am still number one.
Bitches will rate me
Still hate me
On the down low
Wanna date me
Some women rate me highly but still hate me, and secretly want to date me
I'm courtside
In a pandemic
You a rug rat
Call her Angelica
I'm living a luxurious lifestyle even during a pandemic, while you are stuck living like a child and being compared to a cartoon character
Life's good, It Is
Life is good, it really is
Life's good

All of this talk, On the net bitch
You should eat a dick and watch Netflix
You talk too much and it's annoying, and your breath smells terrible. I had to stop associating with you just like I stopped being friends with a girl with bad breasts. All this talk on the internet won't change anything, so you might as well enjoy some alone time and watch a movie.
I'm a R Kelly victim and no whip
But got 2 ignitions I could slide with
Ain't nuttin poppin, less I sign shit
Keep cryin like a side bitch
I may not have a car or be wealthy, but I have two methods of transportation, and nothing exciting will happen unless I sign some deals. Keep complaining like a side chick.
You was fuckin dubs
Now you fucin twatts
Hard to line a bitch
That'll call the cops
All these batteries
Got you cum drunk
Probly where you got that lip bump

You used to have sex with dudes, but now you're with women, and it's tough to trust someone who might call the cops on you. You're addicted to sex toys, so much so that you probably got an infection on your lip. I see the Uber sticker on your man's car, so you probably hide when you ride with him. I like to party, while you sleep around. Don't even try to sleep with me.

The good life, one day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go
2 the place in everyone's future
The good life - one day we'll know (Good life)
Everyday after school, U know where 2 find this brother
Uptown at every movie show, outta my life 2 another
That was the only thing that I wanted 2 do, that was my drug of choice
Left all the funny smellin' cigarettes 2 the American boys
"La Dolce Vita" was the knob that turned me on
Marcello Mastroianni Italian Mac comin' on strong
He had all the honies, the kind from the magazines
Small waist, big - right!... biggest ones U've ever seen
The good life (good life), one day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go
2 the place in everyone's future
The good life - one day we'll know, one day we'll know
(Good life) {x2}
Mama worked all night, went 2 school by day
Wanted 2 get her Master Degree so she could make a better way
Set examples 4 her babies that we'll never forget
That's where I guess my spirit comes from, eternally never met
Oh, the good life (good life), one day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin' (Ooh, good life)
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go
2 the place in everyone's future (The good life)
The good life - one day we'll know
(Good life)
Good life {x2}
Good life (Good life)
Hey, hey, hey!
Peace 2 the mother that knows
That the babies are the key 2 the world, key 2 the world
The battles of the future will be won
By those who teach those baby boys and girls
This is our plea 2 the brothers
Who are tired of the barely gettin' by, instead U should try
2 see your future map out your steps
And make sure no one dies
The good life (good), one day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
(One drop of blood ain't worth forsaking your dreams)
When the everyday gets on your last one, give it up and go
(Music, sports, fashion, whatever)
2 the place in everyone's future, the good life - one day we'll know
(Consolidate, think ahead, and cream, cream)
The good life (good life), one day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin' (Hey yeah, good life)
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go (Good life, oh)
2 the place in everyone's future
The good life - one day we'll know
New Power Generation (Good life)
Tryin' 2 lead the Good Life (One day we'll know)
Oh yeah, oh Lord
Good life (Good life)
The good life
Good life (Good life)
The good life (Good life)
Good life (good life), one day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go
2 the place in everyone's future
The good life - one day we'll know
Good Life {repeated}
Good life (Good life)
The good life (Good life) {x3}
One day we'll know
@a0b0
here i am in 2023 still in awe of the genius that was prince.
@ryanspeed4671
Sonny vocals were tight, obviously his bass playing skills on point.
@BIGMAN7917
I miss Prince...I miss the 90s
@tellemartin6663
Wow Prince had on the wig with his face covered and that black outfit on was hilarious. Prince always liked to play dress up and be a little jokester.Rip my favorite artist. R.i.P Gone too soon
@nancypatricia511
May look funny but he wasn't doing it to get laughs. It was a persona that he was playing which was meant to obscure his identity. I love that hat but this is the first time I see him veiling his face with it.
@chippy7745
Maybe he is covering up his identity in order to give the spotlight to Sonny. He obscures himself because his presence is overpowering....it’s actually an act of generosity on his part.
@ROCKNROLLFAN
Man, do I miss Prince....Rest in Heaven my HERO.....
@kaloiano1
Just to keep the tradition going... Anyone here from VS Imaginator part 2? Bless Kadono-sensei for showing me so much good music
@SuperGoomba19
Hell yeah!
@makkusuunfilwin1852
Just finished the book now and came here looking for a comment like this. Couldn’t agree more. Bless Kadono-sensei indeed.
