Lowkey – Everything I Am Lyrics
Lyrics
Hook
- Everything I am, and everything I want to be
- I put it in your hands, you could open up to me
- Everything I am, and everything I want to be
- I put it in your hands, you could open up to me
- Oh don't we ever get beyond this wall
Verse 1
- I am no role model, I am not Mr. Perfect
- Been bitten a couple of times and I did deserve it
- Everyday livin' and learnin' through these written verses
- My life is a sacrifice, I wonder is it worth it?
- People can change, I'm living physical proof
- I'm not important, or special or different from you
- To other people, I may seem like a good adviser
- But to myself I feel like a dirty womanizer
- I am just a man, I will never be a celebrity
- That is a mantra I will cling to the death of me
- Don't wanna feed my kids the very treachery they fed to me
- Preferably the aim is equality eventually
- Don't relegate me below, or elevate me above to you
- Needless to say, in either place I'm uncomfortable
- I treat you as an equal, I'm simply a man
- Your brother in humanity is everything that I am

Verse 2
- Listen close to the words that were sang in the chorus
- There's a big difference between fans and supporters
- Never asked to be scrutinized or consumerized
- Or treated differently to any other human life
- Most don't, but some do and it saddens me
- Force fed celebrity to subdue our humanity
- See the false image depicted and think it's purity
- When beneath that image they hold more insecurities
- Than you do, but sometimes it's hard to tell who's who
- There's more to life than Twitter followers and YouTube views
- And if I came across like I was cocky I am sorry
- You were born original so please don't die a copy
- Don't relegate me below, or elevate me above to you
- Needless to say, in either place I'm uncomfortable
- I treat you as an equal, I'm simply a man
- Your brother in humanity is everything that I am
