| [00:14.010] |
I deal the cards as a meditation |
| [00:19.120] |
And those I play never suspect |
| [00:24.830] |
I don't play no for the money I can win |
| [00:31.550] |
I just play for the respect |
| [00:36.820] |
I always said that I was gonna make it |
| [00:40.010] |
Now it's plain for everyone to see |
| [00:42.700] |
But this game I'm in don't take no prisoners |
| [00:45.630] |
Just casualties |
| [00:48.480] |
I know that everything is gonna change |
| [00:51.410] |
Even the friends I knew before me go |
| [00:54.090] |
But this dream is the life I've been searching for |
| [01:00.490] |
Started believing that I was the greatest |
| [01:03.200] |
My life was never gonna be the same |
| [01:06.150] |
Cause with the money came a different status |
| [01:09.050] |
That's when things change |
| [01:11.860] |
Now I'm too concerned with all the things I own |
| [01:15.210] |
Blinded by all the pretty girls I see |
| [01:17.760] |
I'm beginning to lose my integrity |
| [01:22.550] |
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over |
| [01:27.110] |
And it seems as though the writings on the wall |
| [01:33.910] |
Superstar you finally made it |
| [01:36.690] |
But once your picture becomes tainted |
| [01:39.390] |
It's what they call |
| [01:42.620] |
The rise and fall |
| [01:46.920] |
I never used to be a troublemaker |
| [01:49.900] |
Now I don't even want to please the fans |
| [01:53.110] |
No autographs, no interviews, no pictures |
| [01:55.790] |
And less demands |
| [01:58.930] |
Given advice that was clearly wrong |
| [02:01.980] |
The type that seems to make me feel so right |
| [02:04.540] |
But some things you may find can take over your life |
| [02:10.850] |
Burnt all my bridges now I've run out of places |
| [02:14.090] |
And there's nowhere left for me to turn |
| [02:16.610] |
Been caught in compromising situations |
| [02:19.280] |
I should have learnt |
| [02:22.610] |
From all those times I didn't walk away |
| [02:25.140] |
When I knew that it was best to go |
| [02:27.750] |
Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart |
| [02:34.080] |
If you feel the fight is over |
| [02:37.230] |
And it seems as though the writings on the wall |
| [02:43.900] |
Superstar you finally made it |
| [02:46.780] |
But once your picture becomes tainted |
| [02:49.610] |
It's what they call |
| [02:52.680] |
The rise and fall |
| [02:57.290] |
Now I know |
| [02:58.770] |
I made mistakes |
| [03:02.940] |
Think I don't care |
| [03:05.200] |
But you don't realize what this means to me |
| [03:08.940] |
So let me have |
| [03:10.780] |
Just one more chance |
| [03:13.880] |
I'm not the man I used to be |
| [03:17.960] |
Used to be |
| [03:28.250] |
The fight is over |
| [03:31.230] |
It's what they call |
| [03:39.400] |
The rise and fall |
| [03:42.420] |
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over |
| [03:47.890] |
And it seems as though the writings on the wall |
| [03:53.600] |
Superstar you finally made it |
| [03:56.920] |
But once your picture becomes tainted |
| [03:59.980] |
It's what they call |
| [04:02.540] |
The rise and fall |
| [04:37.900] |
|
