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
|
|
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 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
|
