Lowkey - In My Lifetime Lyrics
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
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
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
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 Canibus
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
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
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
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 whilst I rap about things I've done
N 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

BEST BRITISH RAPPERS
my nigga
turnalcookintioavampire
lowkey kept it 💯 from the start !!
I respect Lowkey because he wants to do more than just sign a deal
George G I don't even think he wants a deal. He just wants to spread a message.
signing a deal more often then not kills great artists, so doubt he would want one
Two U.K. Greats.
wretch the far better rapper on this. rate lowkey 100 for the movement tho.
real talker wretch was shit on this
real talker bandwagon
i love wretch....but lowkey owned him on this one.....it was 2009 anyway
u rap bout things u seen Lowkey rap about things he's done!
wretch smashed this shit
lowkey true legend ryt dere
deep ...est ...e.v.eeeee....rrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!! krino-lowkey logic
Awesome track :)
Madly in love with Lowkey! bare respect to him! :) ♥♡♥
mad beat
Da beats mad
i dont mind if i aint gone platinum coz deep down i know that i make gold anthems!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Kakarot how has he not kept it real, just coz some of his songs have a pop-like chorus it's still got hard bars, go listen to his Black and White album, or his new project with Avelino, especially his new stuff is hard and talks some real stuff, don't know why people discredit wretch, one of UK raps finest
@Hassan Iqbal I don't discredit him, i'm just saying he'll never be on the level these underground artist are, he has good songs for sure and i like him but the fact is he did sell out.
@Kakarot if he stayed underground how would he provide a better life for his family, there's a reason lowkey retired(hiatus) there isn't much money in being an underground artist, only underground that did well was Logic
@Hassan Iqbal Because it's not all about the money, yeah of course you don't make a whole lot being underground but you still make a fair amount if popular enough which Lowkey was, he used to get millions of views so that's not the reason he stopped, he wanted to concentrate on his studies and i'm pretty sure he was made to stop because his music was reaching out to a lot of people and spoke a lot of truth about this corrupt government.
+Hassan Iqbal in his lyrically intense video he says something like " this music fills my pockets with profits" even underground artists make good money just not as much as eminem ect
3 yrs on. THIS is real uk hip-hop
Lowkey's lyrics are so real . I hope he comes back to music the UK scene is kinda dead atm
He has bro released a new song last month
Lowkeys lyrics are the best thing since Tupac.
@جبريل أوفال I like him too, also K-Rino.
+Dez Nuts I got u in the mail today
Fuck better ✌&❤
1 king 2 another
This is big. Can't believe I've only just come across it :/
well at least u finally have found,
this is actually the song that got me into Lowkey.
NICE !!!
its strange how well wretch fits into this song
dat chorus
He's gone on hiatus in order to focus on his studies.
why did he leave?
Wretch was pure class before he went commercial, waste of talent.
Lowkey rapped before Globalfaction too.
''The state of the world got me thinking millitant, but in the grand scheme my life is probably insignificant''.
Love that line so much.
Come back Lowkey..
the best artist in the UK
Why can't I find this on Globalfactions channel? Did they delete it or what?
Does anybody know what song the voice is sampled from?
Been tryin to figure it out, but so far, i´ve come up with nothing... damnit!
Lindberg1984 you find out yet? Lol
You are speaking my life, you are a brother to me for speaking the Real. Thanks for this song I really needed this.. God bless you to. PS. I got mad homic
Dont hate in ma bruddas video
lowkeys murks wretch on this tune...i don't rate wretch one bit plus making tunes with chipmunk says it all!!!!!!
KINGA(UK) Funny kid. Wretch can spit so can chip
Can't Argue Wretch is talented....
yeah the only difference is wretch 32 is good
Anyone else think Wretch 32 sounds a LOT like k koke?
Lowkey means so much to England. Without people like Lowkey know one would be sane!
Esten Chalkley who listens to Lowkey over mainstream music? not enough ppl
I like rapping along to wretch bars. The way he says tings is jokes
what is the instrumental to this, does anybody know?
Can I hear one please?? Give me the link/name of song
Yeah, when Chipmunk was in grime, before they both sold out.
Matthew Csure ? chip left grime went mainstream came back to grime because it was getting popular
shit man, lowkeys exited the music scene, hope he comes back when i have kids! so they can listen to his tunes,
bmw0208 Do you have kids yet? if not hurry
This deserves more views
wretch 32 is illuminati check at the addidas advert with wretch he does the 666 hand sign
why is wretch throwing up Illuminati signs cunt
@TheZeeshan21 Hahah dont be dumb
Why does Lowkey allow adverts to be shown at the beginning of his songs if he doesn't believe in them?
@skinnyviksster No shit?
tune!!,
Where can i get the instrumental to this????????
How can people listen to Lil Wayne with Lowkey out there?
because americans....
@beamsydon I never said he sold I think you should be directing your comment towards @diiiiiirtynwo
@diiiiiirtynwo why do u even care 1st. and number to wretch isn't a sell out he doesn't even have same goals as lowkey and wretch talks about real things to him don't go go is about the gift of music he has been bless with so calm down and enjoy life. this older then chipmunk diss and allow talking for tupac did u know him?
@limothy14 I hope you expressed your feelings to them too then. Love and peace brother.
wretch is a sellout
keepin it 1 son! A1R3ADY. "Tell u what my life's like? ... Shit mine's is real - err'thang signed n' sealed! STL/314 Midwest Monsta. Tha States 21st Century Docc Holiday" In my lifetime. Strange Music get@me Lowkey .
Lowkey looks crosseyd
@4karl Wow no one's ever said that before...oh wait no, every other fukin comment on a lowkey choon did
The awkward moment when wretch32 says 'I've got a clean shave' and rubs his beard LOL
Big up Lowkey! deepest bars around. Other artists like chipmunk should take a leaf out of his book and spit real bars, instead of telling us about how much money they got and how much crime there involved in on coz it's boring.
ahhh i miss this :(
i think lowkey is happy for wretc's success and likewise
"I don't mind if I don't go platinum" -Wretch 32.
fucking LIAR! lol
@cjcjx1 STFUU yuu nobb. wtff dyuu knoww?! Andd all yuu peoplee doo is runn afterr the fame and money. Dumb fuck.
@Gambit491 when i talk about U-turns i am refering to this song and how it goes on about not chasing money... yes we need money to live but why do u need to make money for someone who is not doing shit all for example Wretch 32 is making money for his record label. Lowkey on that other hand is making money and living with his means not chasing money. The U turn is me saying comparing this song to his new album.
Peace
@iamryko Actually, Wretch was makin tunes with Chipmunk before either of them got signed. They even have a mixtape together...So before chipmunk turned into an arrogant bastard Wretch made this tune with Lowkey...so I don't really understand how that is a U-turn? :s
@Project22crew Wretch 32 used to make big tunes before he was signed.. now he make tunes which have no meaning... in essence he is a puppet, i agree he shud not be making tunes with chipmunk.. and of course i wud bet that lowkey does not care that wretch 32 made a U-turn maybe he made a U-turn for personal reasons we will such as family needs money, but i lost respect for him... my RESPECT is still to LOWKEY,AKALA, BLACK THE RIPER, IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE & LOGIC theses are a few artist who are REALL
@iamryko i had to make two comment boxes... of course lowkey gets money to eat and live within his means.. but WRETCH 32 is now signed and he is being a fool in saying he does not care if he not charted cuz deep down he noes he make platinum tunes.. IN THE END DID HE NOT MAKE THE U-TURN ? YES CUZ ERE HE IS PROMOTING LIVING WITHIN UR MEANS NOW HE MAKING TRACKS WHICH HAVE NO MEANING FULL STOP
@STICKYFINGAZN15 Let consider da facts before dis track did WRETCH 32 make a track with chipmunk, nope ( NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE I COULD BE WRONG DOE ) ... now who is chipmunk signed too SONY... what do SONY really give him?... he is not even allowed to reply back to lowkey verbal assault on him cause it will ruin his "reputation"... i can assure you that soon chipmunk will be dumped by SONY. In this track they are rapping about how money does not bring happiness, of course we all need money to live
Classic beat...
Wretch is a sell out?? Funny how you guys dont have the chance to suckers
Lowkey - Sick as always.
Wretch - Fake as always.
love this song!
@crusaderus Wretch 32 is a sell out mate, though his track did go to number 1 on the charts, listen to the lyrics in his new track with josh kumra. HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE DEVIL
