[00:00.55] Now you see me standin' in the lights

[00:02.76] But you never saw my sacrifice

[00:05.96] Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive

[00:11.85] Had to lose it all to win the fight

[00:15.03] I had to fall so many times (oh-oh-oh)

[00:20.09] Now I'm the last one standin'

[00:24.63] Uh, you weren't with me on the cold block nights

[00:26.48] Now you front row for the spotlight

[00:28.15] Now the diamonds in the Audemars bright

[00:29.73] Jets overseas for a far flight

[00:31.35] Young nigga on bullshit and I ball on 'em, Bill Cartwright

[00:32.95] Knew I could shine through the darkness

[00:34.26] I guess I always been a star type

[00:35.61] That lion in me made my heart fight, could've been a victim of an opp pipe

[00:40.41] Took a million risks just to get to this 'cause we ain't the ones that the cops like

[00:42.26] Been so many times God tested me, they only see the answers I got right

[00:46.53] They commentin' all on the blogs, tryna tell me how to live my life

[00:49.74] And I waited so patiently, if you could take off, don't wait for me

[00:52.93] No days off, grind faithfully, I keep thankin' God for savin' me

[00:56.12] Front line, showcasin' our bravery

[00:57.99] I know that top spot, it was made for me

[00:59.04] It all paid off so we felt the struggle so painfully

[01:01.71] Now you see me standin' in the lights

[01:04.62] But you never saw my sacrifice

[01:07.57] Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive

[01:14.00] Had to lose it all to win the fight

[01:16.69] I had to fall so many times (oh-oh-oh)

[01:20.25] Now I'm the last one standin'

[01:27.70] Yeah, you know the code we gotta live by

[01:30.09] Never mind all the ice cubes on this wristwear in the big body

[01:33.30] Live by the gun, get bodied or it's hella time in that cell

[01:35.95] It was hella times where I failed, when I had to double back from them Ls

[01:39.43] Bet he don't double back when he tell

[01:41.06] 'Cause it ain't no comin' back when you tell

[01:42.13] Why would you leave me here by myself? A nigga be lonely

[01:43.76] Ayy, I blew the whole bag on they flights, ain't leavin' the homies

[01:48.03] If he really gang, then get him a chain, no cubic zirconies

[01:51.23] White Zomb' in the stogey, stood firm, never folded

[01:54.18] Furthest thing from a rodent, you put the jacket on and you bogus

[01:57.11] Yeah, big dawg and they know it

[01:58.96] I had to spin off to stay focused

[02:00.06] Longev' on the motion

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

[02:03.59] I done been broke before and they know

[02:07.38] I make it look easy

[02:07.93] Like I made it overnight

[02:09.78] I make it look easy

[02:12.69] But you don't see the dark side

[02:15.65] And all of the monsters I had to fight (fight)

[02:20.73] And all of the nightmares (nightmares)

[02:24.18] Made me stronger than life (yeah)

[02:29.06] Y'all say (what?), I've changed (huh)

[02:30.69] Really, though? (Tell me), how so? (I got)

[02:32.59] Got all (what?), this bread (yeah)

[02:33.92] I'm still (what?), sour though (huh)

[02:35.54] I don't know (I'm a), square peg (in a), round hole (yeah)

[02:37.94] Like a block of cheese in a paper towel roll

[02:39.59] Rocky Balboa (I), never been no (what?), towel thrower

[02:41.44] Even when I got kicked to the curb (yeah)

[02:43.04] Life knocked my dick in the dirt

[02:44.65] I got back up, flipped it the bird

[02:45.96] 'Til I earned the attention I yearned

[02:47.31] Not to mention, I learned

[02:48.11] How to turn resentment and hurt

[02:49.44] To an unquenchable thirst, in the simplest terms

[02:50.76] It's revenge of the nerd, in every sense of the word

[02:52.09] But all you see is the fame and the millions

[02:54.77] You don't see the strength and resilience (nah)

[02:56.43] How I rack my brain but it feels as if I'm tryna explain it to children (damn)

[02:57.76] So a lot of this pain isn't healin', no escapin' it, this anger is spilling

[03:02.63] Almost like recreatin' a feelin' of 9/11 when the second plane hit the building

[03:05.82] So let 'em paint you the villain

[03:07.17] Some of this just may be a symptom (yeah)

[03:08.79] Of havin' way too much income (mmm)

[03:10.12] But when you struggled every day just to get some (yeah)

[03:12.57] Now all of this hate is a syndrome (yuh)

[03:13.38] When they can't relate, and that stems from (what?)

[03:14.98] Money lookin' like it grows on trees

[03:17.15] Yeah, they're green but those aren't leaves (leaves)

[03:18.77] Sufficed to say, with every sacrifice I made

[03:20.64] It's like I gave up my life to fame

[03:22.27] All the nights that I lied awake

[03:23.85] Nights I stayed up to write and pray

[03:25.48] Had to claw, scratch and fight my way

[03:27.08] Just follow me, and I'll light the way

[03:28.43] Look to the hook if your sky look grey (Skylar Grey)

[03:30.30] And rappers, how can we be on the same level now

[03:31.88] When I gotta look down and see these clowns that are on the ground?

[03:33.78] Bitch, I got clouds beneath me

[03:35.40] Ever since I put out the EP to the height of 2003 me

[03:39.66] You ain't see the struggle to make it out the D

[03:41.28] Because I made it somehow look easy

[03:42.87] Now you see me standin' in the lights

[03:46.06] But you never saw my sacrifice

[03:48.97] Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive

[03:54.56] Had to lose it all to win the fight

[03:57.74] I had to fall so many times (oh-oh-oh)

[04:01.21] Now I'm the last one standin' (oh-oh-oh)

[04:07.85] Now I'm the last one standin'
