Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
And it seems as though the writing's on the wall
Superstar, you finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It's what they call, the rise & fallSometimes in life you feel the fight is over
And it seems as though the writing's on the wall
Superstar, you finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It's what they call, the rise & fallI always said that I was gonna make it
Now it's plain for everyone to see
But this game I'm in, don't take no prisoners
Just casualtiesI know that everything is gonna change
Even the friends I knew before me go
But this dream is the life I've been searching forStarted believing that I was the greatest
My life was never gonna be the same
'Cause with the money came a different status
That's when things changedNow I'm too concerned with all the things I own
Blinded by all the pretty girls I see
I'm beginning to lose my integritySometimes in life you feel the fight is over
And it seems as though the writing's on the wall
Superstar, you finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It's what they call, the rise & fallI never used to be a troublemaker
Now I don't even wanna please the fans
No autographs, no interviews, no pictures
And less demandsGiven advices that were clearly wrong
The types that seemed to make me feel so right
But some things you may find can take over your lifeBurnt all my bridges, now I've run out of places
And there's nowhere left for me to turn
Been caught in compromising situations
I should have learnedFrom all those times I didn't walk away
When I knew that it was best to go
Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart?Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
And it seems as though the writing's on the wall
Superstar, you finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It's what they call, the rise & fallNow I know, I made mistakes
Think I don't care but you don't realize what this means to me
So let me have just one more chance
I'm not the man I used to be
Used to beSometimes in life you feel the fight is over
And it seems as though the writing's on the wall
Superstar, you finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It's what they call, the rise & fallSometimes in life you feel the fight is over
And it seems as though the writing's on the wall
Superstar, you finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It's what they call, the rise & fallSometimes in life you feel the fight is over
And it seems as though the writing's on the wall
Superstar, you finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It's what they call, the rise & fall
