Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got life, mother
I got laughs, sister
I got freedom, brother
I got good times, man

I got crazy ways, daughter
I got million-dollar charm, cousin
I got headaches and toothaches
And bad times too
Like you

I got my hair
I got my head
I got my brains
I got my ears
I got my eyes
I got my nose
I got my mouth
I got my teeth
I got my tongue
I got my chin
I got my neck
I got my tits
I got my heart
I got my soul
I got my back
I got my ass
I got my arms
I got my hands
I got my fingers
Got my legs
I got my feet
I got my toes
I got my liver
Got my blood

I got my guts (I got my guts)
I got my muscles (muscles)
I got life (life)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Upa Dance's song I Got Life expresses a sense of freedom and gratitude towards life itself. The song celebrates the small things in life that are often taken for granted such as one's senses, body parts and personal struggles. The opening lines "I got life, mother / I got laughs, sister / I got freedom, brother / I got good times, man" represent a grateful attitude towards life itself, suggesting that these are the most important things that we can possess in our lives.


As the song progresses, the lyrics highlight the imperfections and struggles that every individual undergoes in their life, including headaches, toothaches and bad times. However, the song embraces these struggles and contrasts them with the positive things in life, such as "million-dollar charm" and "crazy ways." This highlights the idea that despite the struggles and imperfections, life is still valuable and worth living.
