Verse (4x) 
where are you hiding? 
you shine off the wall 
start giving it up now cause 
you're gonna find yourself a mastermind in time

rockstar 
what's mine is yours 
rockstar 
you're looking good you're looking fine (i'm fine)

rockstar 
rockstar 
get off the battlefield 
you could not take it back from me 
its all the way attack 
cannot ?? on your ?? 
get off my battlefield 
we could not take it back from you 
its all the way attack 
cannot figure out your way 
that's all 

can't fall, away 
i'm back, i'm back 

End on F
