You pull me out, you pull me out of my vibe
You attack, if you don't win, you tie
You treat me like I'm with other chicks
Like a thief that gets away
But I'm a thief, I'm stealing your love
Why fight? If we love each other so much
We don't have time to be wasting it
And the time that we have, we're ruining it
Thinking about the past, hating the world
Unable to control it, and looking for culprits
It's not you nor me, it's life and its things
It's being able to see the gray and paint it pink
Much awaits, but it's not who waits
It's who stays, who stays in the dark
It's being able to see the gray and paint it pink
Five minutes suffice
To create a world or be the one that crushes it, and I
Sometimes I feel that your words hurt
But you hurt me more when you don't talk to me
And you make me feel like I don't deserve you
You're thinking about you, but I suffer too
You're the first message I write when I wake up
And texts come in
But it was you that I chose
There's insecurity to spare here
You say things that you don't want to say
Or that, at least, I wouldn't say to you
And you blame me, but
It's not you nor me, it's life and its things
It's being able to see the gray and paint it pink
Much awaits, but it's not who waits
It's who stays, who stays in the dark
It's being able to see the gray and paint it pink
It's not you nor me, it's life and its things
It's being able to see the gray and paint it pink
It's not you nor me, it's life and its things
It's being able to see the gray and paint it pink

SONG MEANING

“La Vida Y Sus Cosas” finds Puerto Rican artist Jay Wheeler in an honest heart-to-heart with his partner. Over a smooth urban beat he admits that arguments, jealousy and hurtful words can push them out of their “vibra.” Yet instead of pointing fingers, he repeats the song’s powerful refrain: “No eres tú ni soy yo, es la vida y sus cosas.” In other words, the real enemy is life’s unpredictable twists, not the love they share.

The chorus invites us to “ver lo gris y pintarlo de rosa”—to take the gray moments and color them pink. Wheeler reminds listeners that time is precious, so rather than wasting it on blame, they should protect the bond that pulled them together in the first place. The song blends vulnerability with optimism, offering a relatable lesson: relationships stay strong when both people choose patience, empathy and a splash of bright imagination to transform everyday problems into opportunities for deeper connection.
