Keeping with the trend of giving his fans a complete spectrum of styles, Lewn is in the process of recording a brand new album that has fans from coast to coast talking already. This long awaited release will not only feature production by the one and only Sinima as well as stand out producer David Sanders II ,but it also promises an impressive display of guitar work by L-Wren. "The combination of Lewn, Sinima and L-Wren is like nothing I've ever heard before" says Lewn. "People have always said that my music is different and unique, but with these guys I feel it myself more than I ever have before".
Lewn has been building his fan base and his credibility as a respected artist for years now and the antisipation for this album has grown right along with it. "I know they're waiting" said Lewn "Now it's my job to make sure I don't let any of them down". No official release date has been announced as of yet.
Lewn has performed with such artists as Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko, Kutt Calhoun, Prozak, Skatterman & Snug Brim, Grave Plott, Paul Wall, Ill Bill, Potluck, ABK and more.

Low Life
Lewn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The kinda guy that got a free ride
And the older that I grow to be the road I chose is showing me
The only one that's holding me is, I
The reflection in the mirrors never getting any clearer
But I see the man I used to be has died
I don't like the way I'm feeling but I know the way I'm dealing with it's
Not a healthy way to make it right
Passing by I'm running out of days
I guess the best that I can do is never good enough to prove to me
Or anybody else that I'm OK
And now my friends don't call my mother doesn't call and my father he just looks away
And now my friends don't call my mother doesn't call and my father he just looks away
I ain't got no money, I ain't got no time and don't nobody wanna be my friend
That's always how it's gonna be no matter how I try, a low life to the very end
I ain't got no money, I ain't got no time and don't nobody wanna be my friend
That's always how it's gonna be no matter how I try, a low life to the very end
Somethings wrong with me inside of me somehow I know there's gotta be a way to get away my Only company is misery
And every time I try to get ahead I hit the wall and at the bottom many times I'm always Ready for the fall
If this is all that I can make out this life I've got to burn I still got a ways ta go and Ive still got a lot to learn
Ive always heard a man becomes the things he thinks about but I've tried it all my life and it ain't really workin out
They say
You never get something outta nothin
Each day
I pray that it gets better but it doesn't
This pain
Its probably...time i become to love it
It fades
They say
you never get something outta nothin
Each day
I pray that it gets better but it doesn't
This pain
Its probably...time i become to love it
It fades
I ain't got no money I ain't got no time and don't nobody wanna be my friend that's always How its gonna be no matter how I try low life to the very end.
I ain't got no money I ain't got no time and don't nobody wanna be my friend that's always How its gonna be no matter how I try low life to the very end.
I gotta confess that my life is a mess at the bottom of many at barrel i rest at the bottom of Many of bottles of many tomorrows a sorry way but the best
And all i keep thinkin is if i Keep goin the way that I'm goin I'm goin nowhere fast I'm Falling I'm falling I'm falling but There is nobody to hear
Me maybe some day i will find a release finally find if there is any peace if only i could Get up on my feet I'm thinkin that maybe ill finally be free what if i never make sense of it all what if i never get Up from the fall ima always be a low life
Now heaven knows that my life is never perfect But at the same time i gotta keep tryin, until the day that i retire with the angels and The choir or burnin in the heat of hells fire
and now my friends don't call my mother doesn't call and my father he just looks away
and now my friends don't call my mother doesn't call and my father he just looks away.
i aint got no money i aint got no time and don't nobody wanna be my friend that's always how its gonna be no matter how i try low life to the very end.
i aint got no money i aint got no time and don't nobody wanna be my friend that's always how its gonna be no matter how i try low life to the very end.
The lyrics in Lewn's song "Low Life" outline the frustration and disappointment experienced by the singer, as well as their inability to change their current situation. The opening lines suggest the singer never expected to have an easy ride and that they've come to terms with the fact that their reflection isn't getting any clearer, symbolizing an internal struggle. While they may have once been someone else, that person is now dead. The chorus repeats the same sentiment of the singer's struggles, which seems to be a recurring theme throughout the song. Despite the singer's efforts to change their situation and improve their life, nothing seems to go as planned, leading to despair and a feeling of loneliness.
The second verse discusses how the singer's friends and family have seemingly abandoned them, unable to provide any support. The repetition of "I ain't got no money, I ain't got no time, and don't nobody wanna be my friend" emphasizes the isolation the singer is feeling. The bridge offers insight into the singer's thoughts, expressing a desire to escape their current situation, but recognizes the difficulty in doing so. Additionally, there is a theme of self-doubt present in the lyrics. The song concludes with the idea that the singer's life has never been perfect, but they must continue trying until they reach the end.
Overall, Lewn’s "Low Life" is a frank depiction of the harsh realities of life, including personal struggle, isolation and self-doubt.
Line by Line Meaning
From the beginning it was clear to me that I was never gonna be
I knew early on that my life would not be easy
The kinda guy that got a free ride
I recognized that I would have to work hard for everything I wanted in life
And the older that I grow to be the road I chose is showing me
As I get older, I realize that the path I chose for myself is not easy
The only one that's holding me is, I
I am the only one who can truly help myself
The reflection in the mirrors never getting any clearer
When I look in the mirror, I can't clearly see who I am
But I see the man I used to be has died
I have changed, and the person I used to be is gone
I don't like the way I'm feeling but I know the way I'm dealing with it's
I don't like the way I cope with my emotions, but it's the only way I know how
Not a healthy way to make it right
I know that my coping mechanisms are not healthy
And there's nothing I can do about it every minute, every hour's
I feel helpless because time keeps moving forward
Passing by I'm running out of days
I worry that time is running out for me to make meaningful changes in my life
I guess the best that I can do is never good enough to prove to me
No matter how hard I try, I still don't feel like I am enough
Or anybody else that I'm OK
I can't even convince others that I am okay, let alone myself
And now my friends don't call my mother doesn't call and my father he just looks away
I feel alone and isolated from those who used to be close to me
I ain't got no money, I ain't got no time and don't nobody wanna be my friend
I feel like I have nothing to offer and no one wants to be around me
That's always how it's gonna be no matter how I try, a low life to the very end
I feel like my life will always be this way, no matter what I do
Somethings wrong with me inside of me somehow I know there's gotta be a way to get away
I feel like there is something inherently wrong with me, but I hope there is a way to change it
Only company is misery
I feel like I am always surrounded by negativity and sadness
And every time I try to get ahead I hit the wall and at the bottom many times I'm always ready for the fall
I feel like no matter what I do, I always end up failing and falling back down
If this is all that I can make out this life I've got to burn
If my life is always going to be this way, I might as well not exist
I still got a ways ta go and Ive still got a lot to learn
I know that I have a lot of self-improvement to do
Ive always heard a man becomes the things he thinks about but I've tried it all my life and it ain't really workin out
I have tried to think positively, but it hasn't changed my life
They say You never get something outta nothin Each day I pray that it gets better but it doesn't
I hope for positive change every day, but it never seems to happen
This pain Its probably...time i become to love it It fades
I have been in pain for so long that it has become a part of me, but it will eventually go away
I gotta confess that my life is a mess at the bottom of many at barrel i rest at the bottom of Many of bottles of many tomorrows a sorry way but the best
I am aware that my life is a mess, and I cope with it through alcohol and other unhealthy habits
And all i keep thinkin is if i Keep goin the way that I'm goin I'm goin nowhere fast I'm Falling I'm falling I'm falling but There is nobody to hear
I am aware that my current actions are leading me nowhere, but I feel like no one is listening or cares
Maybe some day i will find a release finally find if there is any peace if only i could Get up on my feet I'm thinkin that maybe ill finally be free
I hope one day to find inner peace and the strength to improve my life
What if i never make sense of it all what if i never get Up from the fall ima always be a low life
I worry that I will never understand my struggles or overcome them, and will always feel like a failure
Now heaven knows that my life is never perfect But at the same time i gotta keep tryin, until the day that i retire with the angels and The choir or burnin in the heat of hells fire
Although my life is far from perfect, I know I have to keep trying to improve it until the end
