Rise & Fall (Lil Zane remix) Lyrics - Craig David

1 (Sting)

2 Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,

3 And it seems as though the writings on the wall,

4 Superstar you finally made it,

5 But once your picture becomes tainted,

6 It's what they call,

7 The rise and fall (2x)

8 (Lil' Zane)

9 Money is mandatory, my game is self explanitory

10 I hit the blunt as I proceed to tell my ghetto stories

11 I'm into deep,all my peeps, bring them shovel stories

12 Some niggaz strapped with thier gats, tryin to kill your homez

13 Didn't know me, but met the heat when they ran up on me

14 Left his wife and 2 kids at the crib lonely

15 Got in the way of a stray bullet when I pass

16 Tryin to retaliate but keep that happin in the past

17 Ways of the world, how will I last when the economy crash

18 I'm goin all out gettin my cash

19 While spend mind open, wit my eyes on the world

20 Ghettos and jail cells gave me stories to tell

21 Body swells from the evil smells that I inhale

22 Evil set me up to fail make my life so real

23 People tape will caution times being lost my soul series to scar

24 I'm fighting off demons, it's the ways of the world

25 Even though it hurts my chest

26 I'm gonna stroke till I lose my breath

27 lookin to sin since life began

28 Coming all the way out the water to get oxygen

29 Please father help me breathe again, at ease again

30 It hurts my chest

31 I'm gonna stroke till I lose my breath

32 lookin to sin since life began

33 Coming all the way out the water to get oxygen

34 Please father help me breathe again, at ease again

35 (Craig David)

36 I always said that I was gonna make it,

37 Now it's plain for everyone to see,

38 But this game I'm in don't take no prisoners,

39 Just casualties,

40 I know that everything is gonna change,

41 Even the friends I knew before me go,

42 But this dream is the life I've been searching for,

43 Started believing that I was the greatest,

44 My life was never gonna be the same,

45 Cause with the money came a different status,

46 That's when things change,

47 Now I'm too concerned with all the things I own,

48 Blinded by all the pretty girls I see,

49 I'm beginning to lose my integrity

50 (Sting)

51 Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,

52 And it seems as though the writings on the wall,

53 Superstar you finally made it,

54 But once your picture becomes tainted,

55 It's what they call,

56 The rise and fall

57 (Craig David)

58 I never used to be a troublemaker,

59 Now I don't even wanna please the fans,

60 No autographs,

61 No interviews,

62 No pictures,

63 And less demands,

64 Given advice that was clearly wrong,

65 The type that seems to make me feel so right,

66 But some things you may find can take over your life,

67 Burnt all my bridges now I've run out of places,

68 And there's nowhere left for me to turn,

69 Been caught in comprimising situations,

70 I should have learnt,

71 From all those times I didn't walk away,

72 When I knew that it was best to go,

73 Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart

74 (Sting)

75 Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,

76 And it seems as though the writings on the wall,

77 Superstar you finally made it,

78 But once your picture becomes tainted,

79 It's what they call,

80 The rise and fall

81 (Craig David)

82 Now I know,

83 I made mistakes,

84 Think I don't care,

85 But you don't realise what this means to me,

86 So let me have,

87 Just one more chance,

88 I'm not the man I used to be,

89 Used to beeeeeeeeeee

90 (Sting)

91 Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,

92 And it seems as though the writings on the wall,

93 Superstar you finally made it,

94 But once your picture becomes tainted,

95 It's what they call,

96 The rise and fall (4x)
