It's My Life
Van Dutch & Silver Nikan Feat. Dee Dee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been at the bottom
I just wanna be on top now
I just wanna have the 'vette
And ride it with the top down
I just wanna have a hundred diamonds
On my watch now
If you're at the top, I'm coming
So you better watch out
I've been at the bottom
I just wanna be on top now
Wanna have the glitz and glamour
Look at what I bought now
Wanna have the money
So I can pay off my mom's house
If you're at the top, I'm coming
So you better watch out
Struggled through my whole life
Didn't think that it'd be so hard
Hopefully I make it out alive
Doing good so far
Kids they used to bully
Teachers said I wouldn't go far
Competition used to hate
And tell me I have no bars
Had a lot of obstacles
I had to get around them
I'll admit the hate
It used to always get me down and
Then I met somebody
Who just never fucking doubted
That the city I grew up in
Someday I would grow right out it
Thought it was the end
The moment that my father left us
Poorest kid in school
Everybody's laughing at us
Thought that I would starve
Mama told me keep my head up
Now the roles are switched
And I wanna get my bread up
Thank you to my mama
For all the shit that you went through
Sorry for the times
That I tried to go against you
Know you didn't like my dad
But you had to pretend to
Now that I'm grown up
I realize that I should defend you
Word up to my younger bros
Take care of our mama please
Take this as a lesson
Never walk out on your family
Treat the people in your life
With all respect and honesty
Anytime you hurt someone
Don't bother with apologies
Shoutout to the people
Used to say that I could make it
I did not forget about you
Just wait 'till I'm famous
We'll all be living large
You just gotta keep your patience
And if you don't believe in me
Don't be afraid to say it
I've been at the bottom
I just wanna be on top now
I just wanna have the 'vette
And ride it with the top down
I just wanna have a hundred diamonds
On my watch now
If you're at the top, I'm coming
So you better watch out
I've been at the bottom
I just wanna be on top now
Wanna have the glitz and glamour
Look at what I bought now
Wanna have the money
So I can pay off my mom's house




If you're at the top, I'm coming
So you better watch out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Van Dutch & Silver Nikan Feat. Dee Dee's song "It's My Life" is about living life authentically and not trying to hide your past or who you are. The singer invites the listener to come closer and look at them, to see the "New England breeze" blowing through their hair and the endless sky in their eyes. They talk about their history, from their first kiss in an abandoned barn to their victories and broken dreams which have left a mark on them. They compare their life to old shoes, tattoos, and scars that they wear on their sleeve, not trying to hide or keep anything locked up inside.


The chorus of the song is about the singer saying that they wear their life right on their sleeve and that who they are is not a mystery to anyone. They have been marked by where they have been, and they are not afraid to show it. The song ends with the singer saying that they are transparent, and you can see right through them. They don't just live it, but they wear their life openly.


Line by Line Meaning

Come close, just look at me, can you see
I want you to pay attention to me and observe my life


That new England breeze blowin' through my hair
I am a free spirit, and I love the feeling of wind in my hair


Stare into my eyes, can't you see the endless sky
My eyes reflect the vastness of the world, and I am optimistic about the future


Peakin' through the cracks of that abandoned barn
Even in abandoned and forgotten places, there is still beauty to be found


Got my first kiss there
I have sentimental memories associated with certain places


My victories, my broken dreams, you don't have to look too far
My past experiences have shaped me into the person I am today


Like an old pair of shoes, like a tattoo, sometimes like a scar
My life experiences have become a part of me, and they are sometimes painful but always memorable


[Chorus:] I wear my life, right on my sleeve
I am open and honest about my life experiences


Who I am ain't no mystery
I am transparent and genuine


Where I've been has left a mark on me
My past experiences have affected me deeply


No, I'm not one to try and hide
I am not secretive or ashamed of who I am


Or keep it all locked up inside
I am not afraid to express my emotions and experiences


I'm like an old scrapbook, not afraid to let you look
My life is like an open book, and I am willing to share it with others


Every day's a brand new page I can't wait to cut and paste
I am excited about the future and the new experiences it will bring


This picture that I see, right now of you and me
I am living in the moment and enjoying the present


Two people so in love even time can't make it fade
Love is a powerful emotion that can last a lifetime


My smiling face, gives me away, yeah everybody knows
I am happy and content with my life, and it shows on my face


When you feel something this real, boy, it's bound to show
Genuine emotions and experiences cannot be hidden or suppressed


[Repeat chorus]
I am proud of who I am and the experiences that have shaped me


You can see right through me. I'm transparent
I am honest and genuine, and my emotions are visible to others


I don't just live it
I embrace my life, and I am not afraid to share it with others


[Repeat chorus]
I am happy with my life and the person I have become
