Rise and fall

[00:04.74] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over

[00:06.74] And it seems as though the writings on the wall

[00:10.99] Superstar, you finally made it

[00:13.74] But once your picture becomes tainted

[00:16.49] It's what they call

[00:19.49] The rise and fall

[00:22.74] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over (over)

[00:28.24] And it seems as though the writings on the wall (yeah)

[00:33.74] Superstar, you finally made it

[00:36.49] But once your picture becomes tainted

[00:39.24] It's what they call

[00:42.49] The rise and fall

[00:46.74] I always said that I was gonna make it

[00:49.49] Now it's plain for everyone to see

[00:52.74] But this game I'm in don't take no prisoners

[00:55.24] Just casualties

[00:57.99] I know that everything is gonna change

[01:00.74] Even the friends I knew before may go

[01:04.25] But this dream is the life I've been searching for

[01:09.74] Started believing that I was the greatest

[01:12.49] My life was never gonna be the same

[01:15.23] 'Cause with the money came a different status

[01:18.74] That's when things change

[01:20.24] Now I'm too concerned with all the things I own

[01:24.24] Blinded by all the pretty girls I see

[01:26.49] I'm beginning to lose my integrity

[01:32.24] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over (over)

[01:36.74] And it seems as though the writings on the wall (yeah)

[01:42.24] Superstar, you finally made it

[01:45.49] But once your picture becomes tainted

[01:47.99] It's what they call

[01:50.74] The rise and fall

[01:55.49] I never used to be a troublemaker

[01:58.24] Now I don't even wanna please the fans

[02:01.24] No autographs, no interviews, no pictures

[02:03.74] And less demands

[02:06.99] Gave in to vices that were clearly wrong

[02:09.74] The types that seem to make me feel so right

[02:12.24] But some things you may find can take over your life

[02:17.99] Burnt all my bridges now I've run out of places

[02:21.48] And there's nowhere left for me to turn

[02:23.99] Been caught in compromising situations

[02:26.74] I should have learned

[02:29.74] From all those times I didn't walk away

[02:32.49] When I knew that it was best to go

[02:34.99] Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart

[02:40.99] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over (over)

[02:45.24] And it seems as though the writings on the wall (yeah)

[02:50.99] Superstar, you finally made it

[02:53.99] But once your picture becomes tainted

[02:56.49] It's what they call

[02:59.24] The rise and fall

[03:03.74] Now I know (now I know)

[03:06.24] I made mistakes (made mistakes)

[03:08.99] Think I don't care?

[03:11.49] But you don't realize what this means to me

[03:14.74] So let me have

[03:17.24] Just one more chance

[03:20.24] I'm not the man I used to be

[03:24.24] Used to be

[03:26.49] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over (over)

[03:31.24] And it seems as though the writings on the wall (yeah)

[03:36.74] Superstar, you finally made it

[03:39.74] But once your picture becomes tainted

[03:42.24] It's what they call

[03:45.49] The rise and fall

[03:48.48] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over (over)

[03:53.49] But it seems as though the writings on the wall (yeah)

[03:59.49] Superstar, you finally made it

[04:02.49] But once your picture becomes tainted

[04:06.23] It's what they call

[04:07.74] The rise and fall

[04:11.24] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over

[04:16.99] And it seems as though the writings on the wall

[04:22.49] Superstar, you finally made it

[04:25.24] But once your picture becomes tainted
