[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 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 lik¬Ö
Been so many times God tested m¬Ö
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 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
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 (D**n)
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
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`...
