​lowlife Lyrics

[Chorus]
Second time
I don't need it 'cause I got you
You don't realise
Got a girl, but still a loner

[Verse 1]
I'm a low life
Only call back when I'm wasted
I don't take time
I'm disappearing, but complacent
Tell me
Am I really what you want? Am I worse than you thought?
I know I'm not him
I wish I was

[Chorus]
Second time
I don't need it 'cause I got you
You don't realise
Got a girl, but still a loner

[Post-Chorus]
I'm a low life
I'm a low life
[Verse 2]
Waking up, but it's dusk, I'm alone
I don't trust, called you last on my phone
You left a message, did I do something wrong now?
Are you mad? I can't tell, what's the problem?
Tried to get up, but I fell, now I'm hobbling
Just in pain, now I'm thinking I did something low

[Chorus]
Second time
I don't need it 'cause I got you
You don't realise
Got a girl, but still a loner

[Post-Chorus]
No love gone, but I lost my cool
I'm a low life and I'm useless too
I'm a low life, but just to you, yeah
I'm a low life
I'm a low life

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did ​dvr & Kenny Beats say about "​lowlife"?
Genius Answer

Kenny said, ‘Let’s do a song’, and then I sent him something, but I sent him a song that was for Kenny; it wasn’t really for me. And so, when he produced it, it was a really good song but not what I wanted to move forward with. And he felt the same way. So, I sent him the song that I made right after it, which was ‘Lowlife’. It was very rudimentary. It sounded kind of like The Clash in the production. He got it back to me in March 2021 and it sounded really great. The whole song is very self-deprecating, but it’s also about trying to put yourself in a better spot.
