Skylar Grey:
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'
Polo G:
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 n***a on bulls**t 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
Skylar Grey:
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'
Mozzy:
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 sell the 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 n***a 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
Skylar Grey/Eminem:
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
Eminem:
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 d**k 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
D**n
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
B***h 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
Skylar Grey:
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'
