Lyrics
So what's the meaning of life? (I don't know, whatcha think about it?) So what's the meaning of life? (I don't know, whatcha think about it?) So what's the meaning of life? (I don't know, whatcha think about it?) So what' the meaning of, meaning of, meaning of life? Many people living life Like they just don't know where to go Ask the master, get there faster And I'm sure you'll reach your goal Smiling faces, ancient places All amalgamate to one In this life you get one show And your rehearsal's almost done So what's the meaning of life? I don't know, whatcha think about it? I try hard to contemplate the revelation Hard times persist while the rich get richer He has got your game 'til it's time to pay the vendor Pick up the revolution where we last left off Armageddon, it is written, so you know who lost Enemies, crookin' thieves, try to steal the night All the while, keep your smile, don't give up the fight (Live life slow) Live it one day at a time (It's your show) It's your show (Take your time) Take your time and do it right (Keep your smile) Ah-ha-ha-ha Many people living life Like they just don't know where to go Ask the master, get there faster And I'm sure you'll reach your goal Smiling faces, ancient places All amalgamate to one In this life you get one show And your rehearsal's almost done So what's the meaning of life? (I don't know, whatcha think about it?) So what's the meaning of life? (I don't know, whatcha think about it?) So what's the meaning of life? (I don't know, whatcha think about it?) (Repeat x2) So you wanna be the king, huh?

Song Production Information
This is a deep, soulful number that matches its connotative title. The male vocals give the song a strong core, as does the charming chorus in the middle and later parts of the song. The whole song is complemented by the funky rap interaction in the opening and middle parts. It's an "adult" song that evokes the image of a chic, dimly lit shot bar. DMX players who loves soul music, this number should be your first choice!
Difficulty & Notecounts
