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 |
(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 |
(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 |
Intake, 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 |
