All of this discussion
Talking about nothing
You would ever say to my face
You think your words are Gospel
But they’re only trouble
I ain’t got the time to waste
You need to get a life
Cause life’s too short
You must be bored out your mind
You should really take that nonsense
somewhere else
Cause you’ve got to realize
I’m doing me regardless
And I don’t care
what you say about it
And it don’t matter
if you like it or not
I’m having all this fun so
Why would I ever stop
Doing me regardless
No I don’t care
what you say about it
And Imma do it any way
that I want
I’m having all this fun so
Why would I ever stop
Some people are so mean
All behind a phone screen
When we’re tryna live our lives
Why you gotta be so vicious
Be about your business
‘stead of getting up in mine
You need to get a life
Cause life’s too short
You must be bored out your mind
You should really take that nonsense
somewhere else
Cause you’ve got to realize
I’m doing me regardless
And I don’t care
what you say about it
And it don’t matter
if you like it or not
I’m having all this fun so
Why would I ever stop
Doing me regardless
No I don’t care
what you say about it
And Imma do it any way
that I want
I’m having all this fun so
Why would I ever stop
Doing me regardless
Doing me regardless
Why would I ever stop
Oh well,
it won’t turn your glitter into gold
So why
Are you wasting your time?
You should find some
better seeds to sow
They might grow one day but
Either way
I’m doing me regardless
And I don’t care
what you say about it
And it don’t matter
if you like it or not
I’m having all this fun so
Why would I ever stop
Doing me regardless
No I don’t care
what you say about it
And Imma do it any way
that I want
I’m having all this fun so
Why would I ever stop
Doing me regardless
(Life’s Too Short)
Doing me regardless
(Life’s Too Short)
Why would I ever stop
Doing me regardless
Doing me regardless
🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation
The lyrics speak from the perspective of someone refusing to be shaken by judgment, gossip, or cruelty thrown from a distance. They draw a clear line between living authentically and wasting energy on voices that only exist to criticize. Each refrain reinforces a calm but firm resolve: life is too short to shrink, explain, or apologize for joy. Rather than reacting to negativity, the speaker chooses self-respect, independence, and momentum, turning indifference into strength and enjoyment into quiet defiance.
