Lyrics

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-oh-oh) now I'm the last one standin'
 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 (oh-oh-oh)
 Young nigga on bullshit, 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 a 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
 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-oh-oh) now I'm the last one standin'
 Yeah, you know the code we gotta live by
 Never mind all the ice cubes on this wrist, wearin' 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 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 nigga 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
 Said I've been broke before and they know it
 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)
 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 (I) never been no (what?) towel thrower
 Even when I got kicked to the curb (yeah)
 Life knocked my dick 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 (damn)
 So a lot of this pain isn't healin', no escapin' it, this anger is spillin'
 Almost like recreatin' the 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 (sky look 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
 Bitch, 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
 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-oh-oh) now I'm the last one standin'
 (Oh-oh-oh) now I'm the last one standin'
