"In My Lifetime" is the debut single by American rapper Jay-Z. It is produced by Ski and contains samples from "Oh Baby" by Aretha Franklin and two Soul II Soul songs: "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)" and "Get a Life". The original white label version of the single was sold by Jay-Z and his friend Damon Dash out of Dash's car in 1995.[1]

[2] It was originally released as an indie label release by Roc-A-Fella Records in 1994,[3] but later re-released the single on Payday Records in 1995, but Jay-Z had royalty conflicts with the label and soon decided to grow Roc-A-Fella Records. The single features a remix by Big Jaz and the B-side, "Can't Get Wid That" produced by Clark Kent. The song is not featured on either of Jay-Z's first two albums, but the Big Jaz remix is featured on the Streets Is Watching soundtrack.
