Rise & Fall [Feat. Sting] - Craig David

[00:23.36][00:01.05]Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
[00:28.92][00:06.02]And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
[00:34.27][00:11.52]Superstar you finally made it,
[00:37.09][00:14.32]But once your picture becomes tainted,
[00:39.94][00:17.11]It's what they call,
[00:42.76][00:19.94]The rise and fall
[00:46.09]
[00:47.32]I always said that I was gonna make it,
[00:50.25]Now it's plain for everyone to see,
[00:53.02]But this game I'm in don't take no prisoners,
[00:55.65]Just casualties,
[00:58.71]I know that everything is gonna change,
[01:01.49]Even the friends I knew before me go,
[01:03.80]But this dream is the life I've been searching for,
[01:10.08]Started believing that I was the greatest,
[01:12.87]My life was never gonna be the same,
[01:15.81]Cause with the money came a different status,
[01:18.44]That's when things change,
[01:21.09]Now I'm too concerned with all the things I own,
[01:24.31]Blinded by all the pretty girls I see,
[01:26.60]I'm beginning to lose my integrity
[01:31.57]Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
[01:37.23]And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
[01:42.49]Superstar you finally made it,
[01:45.33]But once your picture becomes tainted,
[01:48.21]It's what they call,
[01:50.91]The rise and fall
[01:54.43]
[01:55.59]I never used to be a troublemaker,
[01:58.50]Now I don't even wanna please the fans,
[02:01.27]No autographs,
[02:02.15]No interviews,
[02:02.99]No pictures,
[02:03.93]And less demands,
[02:06.95]Given advice that was clearly wrong
[02:09.84]The type that seems to make me feel so right
[02:12.11]But some things you may find can take over your life,
[02:18.30]Burnt all my bridges now I've run out of places,
[02:21.31]And there's nowhere left for me to turn,
[02:24.00]Been caught in comprimising situations,
[02:26.64]I should have learnt,
[02:29.69]From all those times I didn't walk away,
[02:32.55]When I knew that it was best to go,
[02:34.94]Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart,
[02:39.96]Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
[02:45.40]And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
[02:50.73]Superstar you finally made it,
[02:53.94]But once your picture becomes tainted,
[02:56.42]It's what they call,
[02:59.21]The rise and fall
[03:02.52]
[03:03.52]Now I know,
[03:06.02]I made mistakes,
[03:08.96]Think I don't care,
[03:11.12]But you don't realise what this means to me,
[03:14.64]So let me have,
[03:16.60]Just one more chance,
[03:19.71]I'm not the man I used to be,
[03:23.83]Used to beeeeeeeeeee
[04:11.44][03:48.17][03:25.61]Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
[04:15.92][03:53.80][03:30.91]And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
[04:21.82][03:58.97][03:36.17]Superstar you finally made it,
[04:24.55][04:01.88][03:39.08]But once your picture becomes tainted,
[04:27.37][04:04.75][03:42.04]It's what they call,
