Rise And Fall |
| 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 |
| Let’s 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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… |
