Текст песни Last One Standing (feat. Polo G, Mozzy & Eminem) - From Venom: Let There Be Carnage - Eminem , 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-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
Young n- on bulls-, 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 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 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 g-, 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- 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's arm in a stogie, 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

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 (fight)
And all of the nightmares (nightmares)
Made me stronger than life (yeah)

Y'all say I've changed
Really though? Tell me how so?
I got-got all this bread (yeah)
I'm still sourdough (sour, tho')
I don't know, square peg, round hole
Like a block of cheese in a paper towel roll
Rocky Balboa, never been no towel thrower

Even when I got kicked to the curb (yeah)
Life knocked my d- 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 tryin' to explain it to children (yeah)
So a lot of this pain isn't healin'
No escapin' it, this anger is spillin'
Almost like recreatin' the feelin'
Of 911 when the second plane hit the buildin'

So let 'em paint me the villain
Some of this just may be a symptom
Of havin' way too much income
But when you struggled every day just to get some
Now all of this hate is a syndrome
When they can't relate and that 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 prayed
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?
B-, I got 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'
