In My Lifetime Lowkey (Ft. Wretch 32)

[Hook: Lowkey]
(In my lifetime)
I learnt life is suffering
And happiness is one thing that money doesn't bring
(In my lifetime)
Our birthright 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 bitch but I'm still tryna love her to death
