Lowkey -- Rise And Fall with lyrics on screen and in description

[Verse 1]
Back in the days, I had dreams of rapping on stage
Imagined listening to radio where 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 hundred 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 (Hard) way harder than other artists did
At seventeen on Choice FM, I went bar for bar with Swiss
Lyrics for forty-five 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 it's difficult and 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
Its 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
Its time that I document my rise and my fall


[Verse 2]
Before volume two 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 two came out, got love 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 'til nothing was left
There were rumours about, I heard a 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
'Til 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 shits all irrelevant
The 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
Its 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
Its 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 have me making decisions to quit rapping
Its funny (Why) cos that almost really did happen
I changed my mind every day, kept zigzagging
But I'm a lyricist, I live for this, I tried to stop
Got volume three of my chest and hit writers block
Very pissed, I was getting sick of my topics
A pad and paper I couldn't fill one line of it
Seeing rappers in magazines, I know I'm better then
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 can maybe relate with
Life's strange, it never remains the same; it changes
It wasn't just memories that made me make this
Cos we all rise and fall on a daily basis
