Last Men Standing

I'm one of the last few men standing

When I look back, how did I stand it?

My thoughts connected, fit it with actions when it's demanded

Care nothing 'bout nothing till nothing came around

So fill me up, cast me a foil, ain't spoilin' a vein valve

Claimin' my name now, solid as I claimed it then

Back before the circus, payasos are claiming loyal friend

So many times I thought, it be the very end

It seems my feelings only come righteous when ridin' the pen

And it's my time again, I'm up, I'm down, I'm staggered

I'm feelin' confident, then shattered, never been a bragger

I'm constantly in a world of variable snakes and squirrels

Break me down, I'm moving to the right

We cover, spin, and twirl

Man, I'm movin' high, sprout new wings, I might just fly

Feelin' stranger than I've ever felt, won't let it pass me by

Spread my gift for the precision and my breath is stranded

Dress for battle, won't tattle, yo, I'm still standing

Now you should know that I can try to test it

Mood at times stronger

But I fought till the end, you see the cracks in my armor

I've been through hell, back, to walk through fire

Second chance at a thing called life, feelin' inspired

These lines that are classic, timeless, not perfect

In a world full of mindless madness, find purpose

Queen at my side, I'm strong, I reach farther

We unite in a fight that's good, a proud father

But everybody livin' so reckless

A hundred miles an hour to the grave, so they breathless

I know there ain't no place on this Earth that is deathless

But I ain't tryna catch a bullet down where my chest is

I got a lot to lose, and I ain't that kinda artist

But I'm lookin' to draw first if they comin' to harm us

So we're still totin' pieces, still got to be lethal

The last man standing pray to Jesus Cristo

Come on, word

Come on, word

Get on up

Get on up

So if you're sayin' to me, "Look at how bad you had it"

With a boohoo look, and you knew you shoulda grabbed it

Too busy reachin' for the lowest hangin' of fruit

You coulda had it, but you pass it up, a tree with no roots

Blowin' in the wind, pinballin', fallen in sin

Feelin' hollow, it's akin to Gomorrah, failin' again

And it's a cold world, but the fire's burnin' within

So I'ma stand up, hand up, if there's work to put in

Feelin' like the lessons I've learned make me invincible

Self-diagnosed, medicated, a daily ritual

Feelin' like I'm livin' for nothing became habitual

Man, dammit, my habits became obitual

Takin' me over, tip the scale till it fell

Have me seein' that earthly Heaven sent me straight into Hell

So I been searchin' for the moral when it's a lesson they sell

Create my own vision, and I'm seein' it well

Come on, word

Come on, word

Get on up

Come on, word

Get on, get on up

Come, come, come on, word

Come on, word

Get on up

Come on, word

Get, get, get on, get on up
