ft. Skylar Grey, Polo G, Mozzy | 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
ft. Skylar Grey, Polo G, Mozzy | 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 standing
[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 Audemar bright
Just overseas for a far flight
Young nigga on bullshit and I ball on 'em, Bill Cartwright
You know I can shine through the darkness
I guess I always been a star type
That lion in my heart fight, could've been a victim of an 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 stuggle 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 standing
[Verse 2: Mozzy]
Yeah, you know the code we gotta live by
Nevermind all the ice cubes on this wrist wearin' the big body
Live by the gun, get bodied or sell the 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 Cubans and Koneys
Why is arm in a [?]
Still front, never foldin'
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
Longjev' on the motion
We on the bandit ship when it's hopeless
Side of the [?] 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, they made me stronger than life (Yeah)
[Verse 3: Eminem]
Y'all say I've changed (What? Huh)
Really, though? (Tell me), how so? (I got)
All this bread (Yeah), I'm still 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, got the pin note, [towel?] [?]
Even when I got kicked to the curb (Yeah)
Life knocked my dick in the dirt
I got back up, flipped it two birds
'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 (Yeah)
But all you see is the fame and the billions
You don't see the strength and 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', you're escapin' at this angerous feeling
Almost like recreatin' a feelin' of 9/11 when the second plane hit the building
So [?] into villain
Some of this may be a symptom of havin' way too much income
But when you struggle every day just to get some (Yeah)
Now all of this hate is a syndrome, when they can't relate where it stems from
Money lookin' like it grows on trees
Yeah, they're green but those aren't 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 of your Skylar 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
Every since I put out the EP at the hype 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 standing
Oh, now I'm the last one standing
Sada me vidite kako stojim na svjetlu
Ali nikada nisi vidio moju žrtvu
Ili sam se sve noći morala boriti da preživim
Morao sam sve izgubiti da bih dobio borbu
Toliko sam puta morao pasti
Oh, sad ja zadnji stojim
[1. stih: Polo G]
Uh, nisi bio sa mnom u hladnim noćima
Sada ste u prvom redu za svjetla reflektora
Sada su dijamanti u Audemaru svijetli
Samo u inozemstvo za daleki let
Mladi crnja na sranjima i ja na njih, Bill Cartwright
Znaš da mogu zasjati kroz tamu
Pretpostavljam da sam oduvijek bila zvijezda
Taj lav u mojoj borbi za srce, mogao je biti žrtva opp cijevi
Preuzeo je milijun rizika samo da bi došao do ovoga jer nismo mi oni koji se pandurima sviđaju
Toliko puta me Bog testirao, oni vide samo odgovore koje sam dobio točne
Komentiraju sve na blogovima, pokušavaju mi reći kako živjeti svoj život
I tako sam strpljivo čekao, ako možeš poletjeti, nemoj me čekati
Bez slobodnih dana, vjerno melje
Zahvaljujem Bogu što me spasio
Prva linija, pokazujući našu hrabrost
Znam to prvo mjesto, napravljeno je za mene
Sve se isplatilo pa smo tako bolno osjetili posrtanje
[Refren: Skylar Grey]
Sada me vidite kako stojim na svjetlu
Ali nikada nisi vidio moju žrtvu
Ili sam se sve noći morala boriti da preživim
Morao sam sve izgubiti da bih dobio borbu
Toliko sam puta morao pasti
Oh, sad ja zadnji stojim
[Stih 2: Mozzy]
Da, znaš kôd prema kojem moramo živjeti
Nema veze sve kockice leda na ovom zglobu nose veliko tijelo
Živite s pištoljem, nagradite se ili prodajte vrijeme u toj ćeliji
Bila su to sjajna vremena u kojima nisam uspio
Kad sam se morao udvostručiti od njih Ls
Kladim se da se neće udaljiti kad kaže
Jer neće se vratiti kad kažeš
Zašto bi me ostavila ovdje samu? Crnja budi usamljen
Ayy, razvalio sam cijelu torbu na njihovim letovima, ne ostavljam prijatelje
Ako se doista banda, nabavite mu lanac, bez Kubanki i Konijaca
Zašto je ruka u [?]
Još uvijek sprijeda, nikad se ne sklapa
Najdalje od glodavca
Obukao si jaknu i lažan si
Da, veliki dečko i oni to znaju
Morao sam se odvojiti da bih ostao koncentriran
Longjev 'o prijedlogu
Mi smo na banditskom brodu kad je beznadno
Strana [?] I oni znaju
[Most: Skylar Grey & Eminem]
Činim da izgleda lako
Kao da sam uspio preko noći
Činim da izgleda lako
Ali ne vidite tamnu stranu
I sa svim čudovištima s kojima sam se morao boriti
I sve noćne more, učinile su me jačom od života (Da)
[Stih 3: Eminem]
Kažete da sam se promijenio (što? Huh)
Zaista, doduše? (Reci mi), kako to? (Imam)
Sav ovaj kruh (da), ipak sam kiseo (huh)
Ne znam, ja sam kvadratni klin u okrugloj rupi (Da)
Kao blok sira u smotuljku papirnatog ručnika
Rocky Balboa, dobio sam bilješku, [ručnik?] [?]
Čak i kad su me izbacili na rub pločnika (da)
Život mi je kurac srušio u prljavštinu
Ustao sam, okrenuo dvije ptice
Dok nisam zaradio pažnju za kojom sam čeznuo
Da ne spominjem da sam naučio
Kako ljutnju i ozljedu pretvoriti u neutaživu žeđ
Najjednostavnije rečeno
To je osveta štrebera, u svakom smislu riječi (da)
Ali sve što vidite je slava i milijarde
Ne vidite snagu i otpornost (ne)
Kako razbijam mozak, ali imam osjećaj kao da to pokušavam objasniti djeci (kvragu)
Dakle, većina ove boli ne liječi, bježite od ovog opasnog osjećaja
Gotovo kao da se ponovno osjećate 11. rujna kad je drugi avion udario u zgradu
Dakle [?] U negativca
Nešto od ovoga može biti simptom prevelikog prihoda
Ali kad se svaki dan boriš samo da dobiješ nešto (da)
Sada je sva ta mržnja sindrom, kad se ne mogu povezati odakle potječe
Novac izgleda kao da raste na drveću
Da, zelene su, ali to nisu listovi
Dovoljno je reći, uz svaku žrtvu koju sam podnio
Kao da sam svoj život predao slavi
Sve noći koje sam lagao budan
Noći sam ostao budan da bih pisao i molio
Morao sam se kandžama, grebanjem i boriti
Samo me prati i ja ću ti osvijetliti put
Pogledajte udicu svoje Skylar Grey (Skylar Grey)
I reperi, kako sada možemo biti na istoj razini?
Kad moram pogledati dolje i vidjeti te klaunove koji su na zemlji
Kučko, imam oblake ispod sebe
Otkad sam izlagao EP na uzbunu 2003. godine
Ne vidite borbu da se izvuče D
Jer sam nekako uspio da izgleda jednostavno
[Refren: Skylar Grey]
Sada me vidite kako stojim na svjetlu
Ali nikada nisi vidio moju žrtvu
Ili sam se sve noći morala boriti da preživim
Morao sam sve izgubiti da bih dobio borbu
Toliko sam puta morao pasti
Oh, sad ja zadnji stojim
Oh, sad ja zadnji stojim
