| 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… |
