Like a falling star, that finally lost its way
You got to toughen up and try to shine again
You got to keep on trying
You got to stop falling down
Shes was a star but her lights are off
Somehow they blacked out all her shine is lost
Gone with the wind it blew
Some say shortys such a fool
Cus she trusted fame whats a girl to do
Now she yesterdays news like a bad review
Cus she could have been great
Mami cud have won an Oscar
But she partied like a rock star
Sex drugs, and rock n roll
Mami didnt want no body know
One cud tell cus she use to glow
Not long ago she was one the rise
But took a first class ticket to her demise
Cus she lived buy the lights and died buy the flash
Exposed, exploded like she died in a crash.
See fame is like poker nothing but bluff
At first they love you on ya way up
But fast like an athlete you run out of luck
Its not about timing one minute your rising
Shining bright like a diamond
Then your falling without no warning down
When you thought this was your calling how?
You got to make move do what it do
What ever it takes to make dreams come true
And not just talk about it
Got to be bout it bout it
And if you fall get on up
Stop feeling sorry for ya self go and get on up
Even if you crawl at least you tried
See its up to you to turn o n the lights
