Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Now, you see me standing in the lights

But you never saw my sacrifice

Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive

[Verse 2]

Had to lose it all to win the fight

I had to fall so many times, oh

Now, I'm the last one standing

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

Young **** on bullshit

And I ball on 'em, Bill Cartwright

Knew I could shine through the darkness

I guess I always been a star type

[Verse 5]

That lion in me made my heart fight

Coulda been a victim of a opp pipe

Took a million risks just to get to this

'Cause we ain't the ones that the cops like

[Verse 6]

Been so many timеs, God tested me

Thеy only see the answers I got right

They commenting all on the blogs

Tryna tell me how to live my life

[Verse 7]

And I waited so patiently

If you could take off, don't wait for me

No days off, grind faithfully

I keep thanking God for saving me

[Verse 8]

Front line, showcasing our bravery

I know that top spot, it was made for me

It all paid off, so we felt the struggle so painfully

[Verse 9]

Now you see me standing in the lights

But you never saw my sacrifice

Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive

[Verse 10]

Had to lose it all to win the fight

I had to fall so many times, oh

Now I'm the last one standing

[Verse 11]

Yeah, you know the code we gotta live by

Never mind all the ice cubes on this wrist

Wearing the big body

Live by the gun, get bodied

Or it's hella time in that cell

It was hella times where I failed

When I had to double back from them L's

[Verse 12]

Bet he don't double back when he tell

'Cause it ain't no coming back when you tell

Why would you leave me here by myself?

A **** be lonely

[Verse 13]

Ay, I blew the whole bag on they flights

Ain't leaving the homies

If he really gang then get him a chain

No cubic zirconies

[Verse 14]

White zom' in the stogey

Stood firm, never folded

Furthest thing from a rodent

You put the jacket on and you bogus

[Verse 15]

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 broken phone and they know

[Verse 16]

Make it look easy

Like I made it overnight

I make it look easy

But you don't see the dark side

[Verse 17]

And all of the monsters I had to fight and (Fight)

All of the nightmares (Nightmares)

Made me stronger than life

[Verse 18]

Y'all say I've changed

Really though? How so?

Got all this bread

I'm still sour, though

I don't know

(I'm a) square peg, (In a) round hole

[Verse 19]

Like a block of cheese in a paper towel roll

Rocky Balboa

Never been no towel thrower

[Verse 20]

Even when I got kicked to the curb

Life knocked my dick in the dirt

I got back up, flipped it the bird

Till I earned the attention I yearned

[Verse 21]

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

[Verse 22]

But all you see is the fame and the millions

You don't see the strength, the resilience

How I rack my brain, but it feels as if

I'm tryna explain it to children

[Verse 23]

So, a lot of this pain isn't healing

No escaping it, this anger is spilling

Almost like recreating the feeling

Of 9/11 when the second plane hit the building

[Verse 24]

So, let 'em paint me the villain

Some of this just may be a symptom

Of having way too much income

But when you struggled everyday just to get some

[Verse 25]

Now all of this hate is a syndrome

When they can't relate and that stems from

Money looking like it grows on trees

Yeah, they're green but those aren't leaves

[Verse 26]

Suffice 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

[Verse 27]

And rappers, how can we be

On the same level now when I gotta look down

To see these clowns that are on the ground

Bitch, I got clouds beneath me

[Verse 28]

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

[Verse 29]

Now you see me standing in the lights

But you never saw my sacrifice

Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive

[Verse 30]

Had to lose it all to win the fight

I had to fall so many times, oh

Now I'm the last one standing, oh

Now I'm the last one standing
