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
