## Lyrics

[Chorus: 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'*
[Verse 1: 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 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 likе*
*Been so many times God tested mе*
*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*
[Chorus: 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'*
[Verse 2: Mozzy]

*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 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*
[Bridge: 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)*
[Verse 3: 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 (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 spilling*
*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*
*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*
[Chorus: 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'*
