Dan Bull - The Staircase lyrics

I used to be trapped in the elevator Waiting for fate to favour me Then I realised that in real life Nothing would be handed on a plate to me Before I deserved dessert I'd have to taste the savoury Each and every flavour Even when it'd make me heave Remember to say your Ps and Qs Please may I leave the table reasonably soon? I'd stay for tea But I've got faces to see, places to be Basically I'm dedicated to chasing the dream I've been making believe for so long I was unable to see me go wrong [Hook:] Step up Step back Step off Step to it [x2] I used to be trapped in the elevator Doors slammed together in my face But I grabbed them and seperated them 'til my hands had gone red and aching Then I made plans to elevate manually Hand me a pen and paper Now allow me to demonstrate That even my acapella could make The whole track collapse like there was a quake I'm faster than any race car They tagged me the devastor It's a fact that I'll never give way Til I'm dead or at number ten Replacing David Cameron, Clegg And named the greatest rapper to ever pave the way Cos I made this staircase [Hook] Step 1: Learn your lessons and take criticism It'll enable you to make it bigger Step 2: Keep it real, stay true to you You don't need to be anyone else Because you are you Step 3: Enjoy every syllable you deliver Whether it's ignorant or lyrical Whether it's simplistic or difficult Step 4: Always remember that everything you do is yours And that should be the reason you do music for [Hook]
