In My Lifetime Lyrics

British rapper lowkey is rated as one of the best in the underground scene, known for his intelligent and punchy writing abilities, Dear Listener is a great example of Lowkeys style of rhyme. Lowkey tackles the notion that all rappers wear expensive jewellery, politics, racism and peoples egos - Lowkey produces mind opening tracks touching on real subjects in the world which is engages the listener.

Lowkey has had a number of great producers help with the album such as Scram Jones, Styalz Fuego and Q-Tones, the album also features a handfull of sick rappers such as Logic, Mic Righteous, Wretch 32 and more.

Dear Listener features a total of 12 tracks which range from showcasing his lyrical ability to his intense story telling abilities.

Alphabet Assasin is a great track which showcases Lowkeys word play and lyrical abilities, rhyming intensely while moving his way through the Alphabet.

Lowkey - Alphabet Assasin
  • I’m an anarchist and an angry academic activist,
  • axe and assassinate the alphabet in an ambulance

A great track to experience Lowkeys story telling abilites and emotional music has got to be Relatives which features Logic from The Peoples Army. The track features Lowkey and Logic going back to back storytelling about the life of a British Soldier and an Iraqi Boy during the war.

Lowkey ft Logic - Relatives
  • Logic: Before my uncle left us, he gave me his gun
  • Lowkey: my girl just gave me a son

In My Lifetime by Lowkey

In My Lifetime Lyrics

Year of Release: 2008
Hook
    • In my lifetime I learnt life is suffering
    • And happiness is one thing that money doesn't bring
    • In my lifetime, our birth right is struggling
    • It must have been, but no matter what I keep the love within
    • In my lifetime, I've waited for days that didn't come
    • The battle's over, but the war isn't won
    • In my lifetime I'll keep fighting until there's none
    • You rap about things you see while I rap about things I've done
Lowkey
    • In my lifetime, I've been around the flipping planet
    • Welcome to the world though my parents didn't plan it
    • 86, it was my mum and dad that made me this
    • Just a baby, I couldn't understand the craziness
    • Let me take you back when, and run through my history
    • When Wendy didn't babysit my mum used to sing to me
    • In my lifetime I learnt the meaning of true love
    • Sometimes I feel like I've been through too much
    • In my lifetime, I lost battles and won some
    • Made many mistakes that can never be undone
    • Carried the same name as a doctor that delivered me
    • A toddler to a monster, tryna prosper in the industry
    • So what's your life like? Cause mines a bag of drama
    • I've seen scenes that Panorama's cameras are after
    • When I was 13 I saw a man die
    • Drove his car through that wall, all I could do was stand by
    • In my lifetime, I've shed so many tears
    • I've written so many rhymes over these years
    • By 20 I did more than most other British rappers did
    • I toured Europe, and spat a hundred bars to cannabis
    • The state of the world, got me thinking militant
    • But in the grand scheme my life is probably insignificant
    • I'll be stuck with regrets till nothing is left
    • Life's a bitch but I'm still tryna love her to death
Hook
    • In my lifetime, I don't mind if I ain't going platinum
    • Cause deep down I know that I made gold anthems
    • I ain't being no ransom
    • But I know they'll remember me like Samsung
    • In my lifetime, it's been me, no tantrum
    • I came on my own and I'll leave no phantom
    • In my lifetime, in my league I'm a champion
    • So when I decease they'll scream my anthem
Wretch 32
    • In my lifetime, I've seen everything except what I'm living to see
    • I'm Stevie Wonder, I'm tryna get a vision of me
    • In the mirror sitting where I'm predicted to be
    • As a winner that costs but my lyrics are free
    • I've seen so much over the years
    • It's been an uphill spiral, just getting close to the stairs
    • Now I've got a clean shave come over my beard
    • Now I've got a clean slate cause, there's no more in rears
    • In my lifetime, I like to grime for my chicks, and rhyme for respect
    • While these other rappers couldn't get in line with my steps
    • Inside of my head is a mind like Albert Einstein
    • I'm fly like a falcon outside
    • Just tryna get to where the outcomes outline
    • In take, it's about time that I ditched faith
    • And if it's about rhymes then I've been great
    • But that's the downside when your meets end
Hook
  • In my lifetime I learnt life is suffering
  • And happiness is one thing that money doesn't bring
  • In my lifetime, our birth right is struggling
  • It must have been, but no matter what I keep the love within
  • In my lifetime, I've waited for days that didn't come
  • The battle's over, but the war isn't won
  • In my lifetime I'll keep fighting until there's none
  • You rap about things you see while I rap about things I've done
