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 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
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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...
