[Intro]
Boi
Ugh, ugh
Sick shit, man
Straight up
Fuckin' for real? (Hit-Boy)
Boi, boi (Trap Adix)
[Chorus]
Only get one life, swear I almost died twice (Woo)
I went triple-platinum more than three times—what a life, man (What a life, life, life)
Feel like God went and blessed me with the trick dice (Bitch)
And I left her ass on read, even though it was enticin'
I ain't married yet, so it's rocky on my right hand (Woah)
And I'm on stage by myself, ain't with the hype, man (Man)
Go ahead, then, tell me what your price is (Pshh)
Mine's is a hundred B's, nigga—you can't swipe this (Swipe)
[Verse 1]
Lost my appetite the way you bitches be bitin' (Swerve)
I'm off no sleep, day shift plus the night shift (Whoa)
Ho, quit askin' when I'm free—I'm always priceless (Boi)
I ain't really rockin' with you, I ain't on that Mike shit (Rock with you)
Man, fuck, I'm goin' right in
I ain't waitin' around—fuck all that, I'm goin' right in (Right)
I ain't really rockin' with the type of shit you typin' (Huh)
That little shit you flexin' ain't nothin' when you got it (Huh)
If you can fit it in your pocket, just stop it
If I lift it to my ear, just know that's really some light shit (Light)
That's just how I'm rockin'—I can't wait, I'm goin' right in (Right in)
Jumpin' out the—woo! I can't wait on you, I'm ridin' (Swerve)
[Chorus]
Only get one life, swear I almost died twice (Woo)
I went triple platinum more than three times—what a life, man (What a life, life, life)
Feel like God went and blessed me with the trick dice (Bitch)
And I left her ass on read, even though it was enticin' (For real)
I ain't married yet, so it's rocky on my right hand (Rocky)
And I'm on stage by myself, ain't with the hype, man (Hype)
Go ahead, then, tell me what your price is (Pshh)
Mine's is a hundred B's—nigga, you can't swipe this (Bitch)
[Verse 2]
That's the mentality
Stack the fatalities (Brrrt), pick up more gradually (Bite down)
For real, it's fans that got a tat' of me
My brother Jay LeRawls got an academy
This shit is not a game, nigga—fuck you mean?
I'm at the point where a nigga finally famous
Give a fuck about no fame (Fame)
Ask me where my LLC is—it's on my chain (Chain)
If I die today, just know I live up to my— pff (Boi)
Man, niggas call me "Big" like that shit really my name (Boi)
You know how I'm comin', I ain't even gotta explain
In the best shape of my life; she at the crib, she gettin' trained
Goin'-goin' 'gainst me is worse than goin' 'gainst the grain (Grain)
At the frontline, give a fuck about no pain (Pain)
I for real could fill a gallery up with 'em, I ain't 'fraid
You ain't comin' how I came
I'm done waitin' around, bitch, I'm goin' right in
Yeah, I'm goin' right in—that's just how my life is
[Chorus]
Only get one life, swear I almost died twice (Woo)
I went triple platinum more than three times, what a life, man
Feel like God when they bless me with the trick dice (Bitch)
And I left her ass on read even though it was enticin'
I ain't married yet so it's rocky on my right hand
And I'm on stage by myself, ain't with the hype, man (No)
Go ahead then, tell me what your price is
Mine's is a hundred—sike, bitch, I'm priceless (Oh, God)
[Bridge]
I'm at Ford Field like a tight-end
And I'm makin' sure all my loose ends tied, and—
I'm in love with the hustle, so it's never tied-ins (God)
I ain't seen her ass in years, she just let me right in (Swerve, swerve, yeah)
[Outro]
This shit off the dome, this shit off the dome
I'm goin' right in
I ain't even write it
But this shit been already written

What A Life was produced by G-Dav & Stefanccino & WHIPITCONALL & G. Ry & Rogét Chahayed & Carter Lang & Hit-Boy.

I contributed to the song’s main sample. My name is Conall Shaw, I’m a 17 year old producer from the north of Ireland in Belfast. I have been producing for around 3 years and my favorite genres to produce are mostly Rap and RnB, although I can produce any genre if requested.
I first discovered musi...
I started my part of the production on what a life in my bedroom on the 7th of January 2021 at 3pm using my laptop and an AKAI midi controller that I had gotten for Christmas a week or so before.
The sample was made using a secret preset in kontakt. The sample follows a simple progression that I wrote with artists like Roddy Ricch in mind. It was originally at 117bpm before being sped up and chopped on what a life. The loop originally contained 3 layers including a bassline which wasn’t used...
Yes, Big Sean and Hit-Boy performed the song live on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in November 2021.
