"Whole Lifetime" (also known as "Summer Of Dreams" and "Not Enough Time") is an unreleased song by the rap duo known as The Throne that consists of Kanye West and Jay-Z created in 2011 amidst the sessions for their album Watch The Throne (2011). The song is produced by Hit-Boy.

Both known versions of the song have no Jay-Z vocals, but feature a verse from an unknown Vocalist. Its unclear if a version with Jay-Z does exist.

Background

A mumble freestyle was recorded on February 3rd, 2011. This freestyle consisted of primarily Ye and had no Jay-Z vocals. At some point, Ye rerecorded his portions of the song and an unknown vocalist recorded a verse for the song.

The song appeared on three different track lists for the final Watch The Throne album, most notably The DOTR track list as the eighth track. However, the song didn't make the album and was presumably scrapped since then.

Notably, a song titled "Whole Lifetime" was spotted on early track lists for Drake's album Take Care that same year. Although its unclear if this is the same song, it is possible he had been given the song after it had been scrapped from Watch The Throne.

A mumble demo version of the track leaked on March 2nd, 2011.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Not enough time in a whole lifetime
To love you like you deserve
Not enough time in a whole lifetime
To love you like you deserve

[Verse 1]
Not a minute more
Not a second more
What you waiting for?
She quit holding you
Just as she's throwing outside
Up and taking off stress
It's just she's been taking off time
What you fighting for?
She bring back the hoes
[?] chose
[?] so cold
But the fevers outside
And we love it like that
Being, running from love
And she's running right back, cause it's

[Chorus]
Not enough time in a whole lifetime
To love you like you deserve
Not enough time in a whole lifetime
To love you like you deserve

[Verse 2]
And I'm on the road
And I'm mad in love
Till I'm madder than [?]
Cause it's not about that
I was feeling so [?]
Had my mind running laps
But I got it all back
Wasn't loving you
Way I wanted to
You was on the move
But she bad news
But the [?] and love em' like that
[?] from love, cause she's running right back, cause it's

[Chorus]
Not enough time in a whole lifetime
To love you like you deserve
Not enough time in a whole lifetime
To love you like you deserve
