Wretch 32 - In My Lifetime lyrics

[Hook: Lowkey] 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 [Verse 1: 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 b**h but I'm still tryna love her to d**h [Break: Wreth 32] 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 [Verse 2: 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: Lowkey] [Break: Wretch 32]
