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

DanceDanceRevolution difficulty rated from 1 to 10 from DDRMAX2 to SuperNOVA2.
