Lowkey – In My Lifetime Lyrics
Lyrics
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
