LIFE IS LIFE Lyrics (English Translation) – Artie 5ive

LIFE IS LIFE (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
He’s telling someone to back off while getting ready to kill the beat that his producer Ddusi just gave him.

[Verse 1: Artie 5ive]
He’s starting off with gun sounds, saying he feels like a cowboy in a Western movie, holding two guns. The “two bunnies” line and the Hugh Hefner reference give off a flashy, playboy vibe. Rolling Backwoods cigars with weed is his routine, and he’s saying people pretending to be gangsters just don’t cut it. He does things his own rugged way, like drinking straight from the bowl. He warns the kids that danger is close—almost like a street bogeyman showing up.

Then he talks about turning illegal (black) money into expensive things like high-end watches—real diamonds, not fake ones. That money also turns into gold bars, weapons, and ammo, showing a lifestyle that’s both luxurious and dangerous. He says if you just mind your own business, you’ll live a long life, but where he’s from, there are no heroes and no freebies. Still, if you bring cash, anything’s possible.

He explains a typical job for his crew—do it right, clean it up, stick to the deal, and leave without a trace. He doesn’t need confirmation calls because silence means the plan worked. Once everything’s done, you can rest easy. He’s calm and collected, even when doing shady business. He caps it all off by mocking his haters, flashing a middle finger, and showing off his confident, hustler mindset—making money, staying cool, and always being ready for the next move.

[Chorus: Artie 5ive]
He’s saying life has its ups and downs. You mess up today, but you grow from it tomorrow. That’s just how it goes.

[Verse 2: Papa V & Nerissima Serpe]
They’re painting a scene of flashy nightlife. He’s chilling on a couch watching a stripper, enjoying the moment. Everything they do is big and flashy, even how they smoke. They’re always surrounded by women and parties, living loud and carefree, while others are wasting time stuck in their own mess.

He dreams of escaping the hard life by buying luxury—like a Porsche and yacht trips. He compares his skills and control to basketball player Chris Paul, saying he knows how to move and handle pressure. Though women are always around, he doesn’t chase them—he’s too focused on the bigger picture.

There’s a spiritual undertone too—he wears a heavy crucifix that reminds him of his success, showing that he hasn’t forgotten his roots even though he’s rich now. He’s so real that people think he’s fake because they can’t believe someone can push this hard and still win. He says he’s been lucky in life like he always hits bingo.

He talks about staying wild all night and mentions someone putting dangerous fish—piranhas—in an aquarium, symbolizing the deadly edge of his circle. He’s eating exotic meat at fancy places, dating an attractive woman, and bragging about not needing to use his hands to fight—he’s past that now. Wearing designer suits, he brushes off feelings and love, focusing on money. His success keeps growing, and he’s flying high in life, both literally and metaphorically. He keeps moving forward and stays thankful, knowing life goes on, no matter what. He and his crew are shining like stars, and even though today feels unreal, tomorrow’s another shot.

[Chorus: Artie 5ive, Nerissima Serpe & Papa V]
They’re all reinforcing the same idea: life comes with mistakes, but you always get a new chance to learn and grow. What matters is moving forward and not giving up, no matter what happened today.

[Outro: Artie 5ive]
Just vibing and wrapping it up with a chant that life keeps going.
