Skylar Grey, Polo G, Mozzy, Eminem - Last One Standing (Lyric Video)

[00:00.73] Now you see me standin' in the lights

[00:02.98] But you never saw my sacrifice

[00:05.98] Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive

[00:11.98] Had to lose it all to win the fight

[00:14.98] I had to fall so many times (oh-oh-oh)

[00:19.98] Now I'm the last one standin'

[00:24.98] Uh, you weren't with me on the cold block nights

[00:26.73] Now you front row for the spotlight

[00:28.23] Now the diamonds in the Audemars bright

[00:29.74] Jets overseas for a far flight

[00:31.23] Young nigga on bullshit and I ball on 'em, Bill Cartwright

[00:34.48] Knew I could shine through the darkness

[00:35.74] I guess I always been a star type

[00:37.23] That lion in me made my heart fight, could've been a victim of an opp pipe

[00:39.23] Took a million risks just to get to this 'cause we ain't the ones that the cops like

[00:43.49] Been so many times God tested me, they only see the answers I got right

[00:46.49] They commentin' all on the blogs, tryna tell me how to live my life

[00:49.49] And I waited so patiently, if you could take off, don't wait for me

[00:53.24] No days off, grind faithfully, I keep thankin' God for savin' me

[00:56.24] Front line, showcasin' our bravery

[00:57.49] I know that top spot, it was made for me

[00:59.23] It all paid off so we felt the struggle so painfully

[01:01.73] Now you see me standin' in the lights

[01:04.49] But you never saw my sacrifice

[01:07.73] Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive

[01:14.23] Had to lose it all to win the fight

[01:17.24] I had to fall so many times (oh-oh-oh)

[01:21.74] Now I'm the last one standin'

[01:26.49] Yeah, you know the code we gotta live by

[01:30.73] Never mind all the ice cubes on this wristwear in the big body

[01:33.49] Live by the gun, get bodied or it's hella time in that cell

[01:36.49] It was hella times where I failed, when I had to double back from them Ls

[01:39.48] Bet he don't double back when he tell

[01:41.23] 'Cause it ain't no comin' back when you tell

[01:42.48] Why would you leave me here by myself? A nigga be lonely

[01:43.98] Ayy, I blew the whole bag on they flights, ain't leavin' the homies

[01:47.98] If he really gang, then get him a chain, no cubic zirconies

[01:50.73] White Zomb' in the stogey, stood firm, never folded

[01:54.23] Furthest thing from a rodent, you put the jacket on and you bogus

[01:57.23] Yeah, big dawg and they know it

[01:58.73] I had to spin off to stay focused

[02:00.23] Longev' on the motion

[02:01.98] We don't abandon ship when it's hopeless

[02:03.23] I done been broke before and they know

[02:04.73] I make it look easy

[02:07.23] Like I made it overnight

[02:09.73] I make it look easy

[02:12.48] But you don't see the dark side

[02:15.99] And all of the monsters I had to fight (fight)

[02:18.73] And all of the nightmares (nightmares)

[02:20.23] Made me stronger than life (yeah)

[02:30.48] Y'all say (what?), I've changed (huh)

[02:31.23] Really, though? (Tell me), how so? (I got)

[02:32.23] Got all (what?), this bread (yeah)

[02:32.99] I'm still (what?), sour though (huh)

[02:34.48] I don't know (I'm a), square peg (in a), round hole (yeah)

[02:38.24] Like a block of cheese in a paper towel roll

[02:39.49] Rocky Balboa (I), never been no (what?), towel thrower

[02:40.48] Even when I got kicked to the curb (yeah)

[02:43.23] Life knocked my dick in the dirt

[02:44.74] I got back up, flipped it the bird

[02:45.98] 'Til I earned the attention I yearned

[02:47.24] Not to mention, I learned

[02:47.98] How to turn resentment and hurt

[02:49.23] To an unquenchable thirst, in the simplest terms

[02:50.99] It's revenge of the nerd, in every sense of the word

[02:52.49] But all you see is the fame and the millions

[02:54.98] You don't see the strength and resilience (nah)

[02:56.24] How I rack my brain but it feels as if I'm tryna explain it to children (damn)

[02:57.99] So a lot of this pain isn't healin', no escapin' it, this anger is spilling

[03:01.99] Almost like recreatin' a feelin' of 9/11 when the second plane hit the building

[03:03.99] So let 'em paint you the villain

[03:07.49] Some of this just may be a symptom (yeah)

[03:08.99] Of havin' way too much income (mmm)

[03:10.49] But when you struggled every day just to get some (yeah)

[03:11.99] Now all of this hate is a syndrome (yuh)

[03:13.49] When they can't relate, and that stems from (what?)

[03:15.24] Money lookin' like it grows on trees
