Last One Standing |
| Now you see me standin' in the lights |
| But you never saw my sacrifice |
| Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive |
| Had to lose it all to win the fight |
| I had to fall so many times |
| Oh, now I'm the last one standin' |
| Uh, you weren't with me on the cold block nights |
| Now you front row for the spotlight |
| Now the diamonds in the Audemars bright |
| Jets overseas for a far flight |
| Young nigga on bullshit and I ball on 'em, Bill Cartwright |
| Knew I could shine through the darkness |
| I guess I always been a star type |
| That lion in me made my heart fight, could've been a victim of an opp pipe |
| Took a million risks just to get to this 'cause we ain't the ones that the cops like |
| Been so many times God tested me, they only see the answers I got right |
| They commentin' all on the blogs, tryna tell me how to live my life |
| And I waited so patiently, if you could take off, don't wait for me |
| No days off, grind faithfully, I keep thankin' God for savin' me |
| Front line, showcasin' our bravery |
| I know that top spot, it was made for me |
| It all paid off so we felt the struggle so painfully |
| Now you see me standin' in the lights |
| But you never saw my sacrifice |
| Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive |
| Had to lose it all to win the fight |
| I had to fall so many times |
| Oh, now I'm the last one standin' |
| Yeah, you know the code we gotta live by |
| Nevermind all the ice cubes on this wrist, wearin' the big body |
| Live by the gun, get bodied or it's hella time in that cell |
| It was hella times where I failed, where I had to double back from them Ls |
| Bet he don't double back when he tell |
| 'Cause it ain't no comin' back when you tell |
| Why would you leave me here by myself? |
| A nigga be lonely |
| Ayy, I blew the whole bag on they flights, ain't leavin' the homies |
| If he really gang, then get him a chain, no cubic zirconies |
| Why is arm in a stogey? |
| Stood firm, never folded |
| Furthest thing from a rodent, you put the jacket on and you bogus |
| Yeah, big dawg and they know it |
| I had to spin off to stay focused |
| Longev' on the motion |
| We don't abandon ship when it's hopeless |
| Sound of the microphone, and they know it |
| I make it look easy |
| Like I made it overnight |
| I make it look easy |
| But you don't see the dark side |
| And all of the monsters I had to fight |
| And all of the nightmares |
| Made me stronger than life (Yeah) |
| Y'all say (What?), I've changed (Huh?) |
| Really, though? |
| (Tell me), how so? |
| (I got) |
| Got all (What?), this bread (Yeah) |
| I'm still (What?), sour though (Huh) |
| I don't know, I'm a square peg in a round hole (Yeah) |
| Like a block of cheese in a paper towel roll |
| Rocky Balboa, never been no (What?), towel thrower |
| Even when I got kicked to the curb (Yeah) |
| Life knocked my dick in the dirt |
| I got back up, flipped it the bird |
| 'Til I earned the attention I yearned |
| Not to mention, I learned |
| How to turn resentment and hurt |
| To an unquenchable thirst, in the simplest terms |
| It's revenge of the nerd, in every sense of the word |
| But all you see is the fame and the millions |
| You don't see the strength, the resilience (Nah) |
| How I rack my brain but it feels as if I'm tryna explain it to children (Damn) |
| So a lot of this pain isn't healin', you're escapin' at this angerous feeling |
| Almost like recreatin' a feelin' of 9/11 when the second plane hit the building |
| So let 'em paint you the villain |
| Some of this just may be a symptom (Yeah) |
| Of havin' way too much income (Mm) |
| But when you struggled every day just to get some (Yeah) |
| Now all of this hate is a syndrome (Yuh) |
| When they can't relate, and that stems from (What?) |
| Money lookin' like it grows on trees |
| Yeah, they're green but those aren't leaves (Leaves) |
| Sufficed to say, with every sacrifice I made |
| It's like I gave up my life to fame |
| All the nights that I lied awake |
| Nights I stayed up to write and pray |
| Had to claw, scratch and fight my way |
| Just follow me, and I'll light the way |
| Look to the hook if your sky look grey (Skylar Grey) |
| And rappers, how can we be on the same level now? |
| When I gotta look down and see these clowns that are on the ground |
| Bitch, I got the clouds beneath me |
| Ever since I put out the EP to the height of 2003 me |
| You ain't see the struggle to make it out the D |
| Because I made it somehow look easy |
| Now you see me standin' in the lights |
| But you never saw my sacrifice |
| Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive |
| Had to lose it all to win the fight |
| I had to fall so many times |
| Oh, now I'm the last one standin' |
| Oh, now I'm the last one standin' |
