rise and fall - lowkey lyrics

[verse 1]
back in the days, i had dreams of rapping on stage
imagined listening to radio when my track would get played
its tragic i never fathomed that the magic would 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 100 a week was nothing to me
long as i had something deep to crush a sucker and see
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 and now its difficult and sh-t isnt the same

[hook]
everything that goes up must come down
i was alright before, but im f-cked up now
got a bit of success, didn’t like it at all
its time that i doc-ment my rise and my fall
if its not your destiny then its 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
its time that i doc-ment 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, cos my nightmares were nothing nice
volume 2 came out, got love in the press
regardless, i was still stressed and f-cking depressed
more successful, the more i felt stuck in a web
pain ate away at my soul till nothing was left
there were rumours about, i heard the dirty sound
they even tried to say that chance has turned me down
everyday they were on the phone tryna get me on that show
till i had to tell them straight, look i didn’t wanna go
but i didn’t wanna blow, had nothing to prove brother
in ’05 i won an award for best newcomer
but that sh-t’s all irrelevant
they say the only thing worse than not getting what you wish for is getting it

[hook]

[verse 3]
i just can’t handle the chinswagging and the lips chatting
my issues have me making decisions to quit rapping
its funny (why) cos that almost really did happen
i changed my mind everyday, kept zigzagging
but im a lyricist, i live for this, i tried to stop
got volume 3 of my chest and hit writers block
very p-ssed, i was getting sick of my topics
a pad and paper, i couldn’t fill a line of it
seeing rappers in magazines, i know im better then
cussing has-beens when really im 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 can maybe relate with
life is 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
