Rise and Fall

|Verse 1|

Back in the days, I had dreams of rapping on stage

Imagined listening to radio where my track would get played

It's tragic, I never fathomed that the magic will fade

Lets take it back to the days when I established my name

I was over-hungry for beats, like the melody was something to eat

(Bars) a hundred a week was nothing to me

As long as I had something deep to crush a sucker MC

I won battles but in a couple I fumbled, suffered defeats

I was grinding hard, way harder than other artists did

At 17, on Choice FM, I went bar for bar with swiss lyrics for 45 minutes

Ready and prepared

No lie, you can ask anybody that was there

Simple and plain, my CD got critical acclaim

I began to build an official position in the game

Quicker than I could think, I was fulfilling all my aims

I miss them days, now it's difficult 'cause shit isn't the same

|Chorus|

Everything that goes up must come down

I was alright before, but I'm fucked up now

Got a bit of success, didn't like it at all

It's time that I document my rise and my fall

If it's not your destiny then it's not meant to be

In the mirror, face to face with my worst enemy

Got a bit of success, didn't like it at all

It's time that I document my rise and my fall

|Verse 2|

Before volume 2 dropped, my brother died

I never stopped, I just carried on busting rhymes

Putting on a brave face but it was still tough at night

I couldn't sleep 'cause my nightmares were nothing nice

Volume 2 came out, got live in the press

Regardless, I was still stressed and fucking depressed

More successful, the more I felt stuck in a web

Pain ate away at my soul 'till nothing was left

There were rumors about, I heard a dirty sound

They even tried to say that Chancers turned me down

Everyday, they were on the phone, tryna get me on that show

'Till I had to tell 'em straight, look, I didn't wanna go

I didn't wanna blow

Had nothing to prove bruva

In '05 I won an award for best new comer

But that shits all irrelevant

They say the only thing worse than not getting what you wish for

Is getting it

|Chorus|

Everything that goes up must come down

I was alright before, but I'm fucked up now

Got a bit of success, didn't like it at all

It's time that I document my rise and my fall

If it's not your destiny then it's not meant to be

In the mirror, face to face with my worst enemy

Got a bit of success, didn't like it at all

It's time that I document my rise and my fall

|Verse 3|

I just can't handle the chins wagging

And the lips chatting

My issues had me making decision to quit rapping

It's funny (why?)

'Cause that almost really did happen

I changed my mind everyday

Kept zig-zagging

But I'm a lyricist, I live for this

I tried to stop

Got volume 3 off my chest

Then hit Writers Block

Very pissed, I was getting sick of my topics

A pad of paper, I couldn't fill one line of it

Seeing rappers in magazines, I know I'm better than

Cussing has-beens when really I'm just a never-been

Me and my clique would be rich if we were American

Those negative times are so clear when I remember them

I hope you heard a bar, you could maybe relate with

Life's strange, it never remains the same, it changes

It wasn't just memories that made me make this

'Cause we all rise and fall on a daily basis...

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
