"Last One Standing"

[00:00.34] [Skylar Grey]

[00:00.34] Now you see me standin' in the lights

[00:03.59] But you never saw my sacrifice

[00:06.74] Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive

[00:12.64] Had to lose it all to win the fight

[00:15.75] I had to fall so many times (Oh-oh-oh)

[00:20.75] Now I'm the last one standin'

[00:24.87] [Polo G]

[00:24.87] Uh, you weren't with me on the cold block nights

[00:27.30] Now you front row for the spotlight

[00:28.91] Now the diamonds in the Audemars bright

[00:30.41] Jets overseas for a far flight

[00:32.15] Young nigga on bullshit, and I ball on 'em, Bill Cartwright

[00:35.04] Knew I could shine through the darkness

[00:36.16] I guess I always been a star type

[00:38.13] That lion in me made my heart fight

[00:39.77] Coulda been a victim of a opp pipe

[00:41.27] Took a million risks just to get to this

[00:42.78] 'Cause we ain't the ones that the cops like

[00:44.39] Been so many timеs God tested me

[00:45.80] Thеy only see the answers I got right

[00:47.47] They commentin' all on the blogs

[00:48.94] Tryna tell me how to live my life

[00:50.84] And I waited so patiently

[00:51.94] If you could take off, don't wait for me

[00:53.69] No days off, grind faithfully

[00:55.09] I keep thankin' God for savin' me

[00:56.63] Front line, showcasin' our bravery

[00:58.02] I know that top spot, it was made for me

[00:59.73] It all paid off, so we felt the struggle so painfully

[01:02.36] [Skylar Grey]

[01:02.36] Now you see me standin' in the lights

[01:05.36] But you never saw my sacrifice

[01:08.63] Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive

[01:14.63] Had to lose it all to win the fight

[01:17.64] I had to fall so many times (Oh-oh-oh)

[01:22.64] Now I'm the last one standin'

[01:28.15] [Mozzy]

[01:28.15] Yeah, you know the code we gotta live by

[01:30.93] Never mind all the ice cubes on this wrist, wearin' the big body

[01:34.06] Live by the gun, get bodied, or it's hella time in that cell

[01:37.05] It was hella times where I failed

[01:38.20] When I had to double back from them Ls

[01:39.99] Bet he don't double back when he tell

[01:41.50] 'Cause it ain't no comin' back when you tell

[01:43.00] Why would you leave me here by myself? A nigga be lonely

[01:45.87] Ayy, I blew the whole bag on they flights, ain't leavin' the homies

[01:48.99] If he really gang, then get him a chain, no cubic zirconies

[01:51.95] Why's arm in a stogie, stood firm, never folded

[01:54.98] Furthest thing from a rodent, you put the jacket on and you bogus

[01:57.85] Yeah, big dawg and they know it

[01:59.24] I had to spin-off to stay focused

[02:01.20] Longev' on the motion

[02:02.42] We don't abandon ship when it's hopeless

[02:04.01] Sound of the microphone, and they know

[02:04.86] [Skylar Grey]

[02:04.86] I make it look easy

[02:07.53] Like I made it overnight

[02:10.41] I make it look easy

[02:13.98] But you don't see the dark side

[02:16.36] And all of the monsters I had to fight (Fight)

[02:21.24] And all of the nightmares (Nightmares)

[02:25.24] Made me stronger than life (Yeah)

[02:30.15] [Eminem]

[02:30.15] Y'all say I've changed

[02:31.81] Really though? How so?

[02:33.30] Got all this bread

[02:34.93] I'm still sourdough (Sour tho')

[02:36.42] I don't know, square peg, round hole

[02:38.57] Like a block of cheese in a paper towel roll

[02:40.16] Rocky Balboa, never been no towel thrower

[02:42.40] Even when I got kicked to the curb

[02:43.97] Life knocked my dick in the dirt

[02:45.31] I got back up, flipped it the bird

[02:46.69] 'Til I earned the attention I yearned

[02:47.60] Not to mention, I learned

[02:47.97] How to turn resentment and hurt to an unquenchable thirst

[02:50.47] In the simplest terms, it's revenge of the nerd

[02:52.50] In every sense of the word

[02:53.63] But all you see is the fame and the millions

[02:55.61] You don't see the strength, the resilience

[02:57.12] How I rack my brain, but it feels as if

[02:58.74] I'm tryin' to explain it to children

[03:00.25] So a lot of this pain isn't healin'

[03:01.76] No escapin' it, this anger is spillin'

[03:03.24] Almost like recreatin' the feelin'

[03:04.72] Of 911 when the second plane hit the buildin'

[03:06.59] So let 'em paint me the villain

[03:08.08] Some of this just may be a symptom

[03:09.58] Of havin' way too much income

[03:10.92] But when you struggled every day just to get some

[03:12.69] Now all of this hate is a syndrome

[03:14.17] When they can't relate and that stems from

[03:15.67] Money lookin' like it grows on trees

[03:17.19] Yeah, they're green, but those aren't leaves

[03:19.34] Sufficed to say, with every sacrifice I made

[03:21.59] It's like I gave up my life to fame

[03:23.33] All the nights that I lied awake

[03:24.72] Nights I stayed up to write and prayed

[03:26.21] Had to claw, scratch, and fight my way

[03:27.71] Just follow me and I'll light the way

[03:29.20] Look to the hook if your sky look grey

[03:31.09] And rappers, how can we be

[03:32.86] On the same level now when I gotta look down and see these

[03:34.86] Clowns that are on the ground?

[03:35.99] Bitch, I got clouds beneath me

[03:37.32] Ever since I put out the EP to the height of 2003-me

[03:40.45] You ain't see the struggle to make it out The D.

[03:41.83] Because I made it somehow look easy

[03:43.43] [Skylar Grey]

[03:43.43] Now you see me standin' in the lights

[03:46.43] But you never saw my sacrifice

[03:49.68] Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive

[03:55.80] Had to lose it all to win the fight

[03:58.54] I had to fall so many times (Oh-oh-oh)

[04:03.80] Now I'm the last one standin' (Oh-oh-oh)

[04:08.04] Now I'm the last one standin'
