Skylar Grey, Polo G, Mozzy, Eminem - Last One Standing (From Venom: Let There Be Carnage)(2021)

[00:00.19] Now you see me standin' in the lights
[00:03.47] But you never saw my sacrifice
[00:06.69] Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive
[00:12.54] Had to lose it all to win the fight
[00:15.40] I had to fall so many times
[00:18.62] (Oh-oh-oh) now I'm the last one standin'
[00:24.79] Uh, you weren't with me on the cold block nights
[00:27.01] Now you front row for the spotlight
[00:28.62] Now the diamonds in the Audemars bright
[00:30.20] Jets overseas for a far flight (oh-oh-oh)
[00:31.73] Young nigga on bullshit, and I ball on 'em, Bill Cartwright
[00:34.55] Knew I could shine through the darkness
[00:36.10] I guess I always been a star type
[00:37.92] That lion in me made my heart fight
[00:39.53] Could've been a victim of a opp pipe
[00:41.05] Took a million risks just to get to this
[00:42.42] 'Cause we ain't the ones that the cops like
[00:44.06] Been so many times God tested me
[00:45.60] They only see the answers I got right
[00:47.19] They commentin' all on the blogs
[00:48.75] Tryna tell me how to live my life
[00:50.48] And I waited so patiently
[00:51.99] If you could take off, don't wait for me
[00:53.45] No days off, grind faithfully
[00:54.94] I keep thankin' God for savin' me
[00:56.54] Front line, showcasin' our bravery
[00:57.84] I know that top spot, it was made for me
[00:59.54] It all paid off so we felt the struggle so painfully
[01:02.18] Now you see me standin' in the lights
[01:05.04] But you never saw my sacrifice
[01:08.41] Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive
[01:14.38] Had to lose it all to win the fight
[01:17.52] I had to fall so many times
[01:20.62] (Oh-oh-oh) now I'm the last one standin'
[01:27.94] Yeah, you know the code we gotta live by
[01:30.86] Never mind all the ice cubes on this wrist, wearin' the big body
[01:33.97] Live by the gun, get bodied or it's hella time in that cell
[01:36.79] It was hella times where I failed, when I had to double back from them Ls
[01:39.88] Bet he don't double back when he tell
[01:41.22] 'Cause it ain't no comin' back when you tell
[01:42.92] Why would you leave me here by myself? A nigga be lonely
[01:45.78] Ayy, I blew the whole bag on they flights, ain't leavin' the homies
[01:48.78] If he really gang, then get him a chain, no cubic zirconies
[01:51.80] Why is arm in a stogey? Stood firm, never folded
[01:54.70] Furthest thing from a rodent, you put the jacket on and you bogus
[01:57.66] Yeah, big dawg and they know it
[01:59.23] I had to spin off to stay focused
[02:00.96] Longev' on the motion
[02:02.32] We don't abandon ship when it's hopeless
[02:03.85] Sound of the microphone, and they know
[02:05.05] I make it look easy
[02:07.68] Like I made it overnight
[02:10.37] I make it look easy
[02:13.76] But you don't see the dark side
[02:16.57] And all of the monsters I had to fight
[02:21.27] And all of the nightmares, made me stronger than life (yeah)
[02:29.22] Y'all say (what?) I've changed (huh?)
[02:31.51] Really, though? (Tell me) how so? (I got)
[02:33.05] Got all (what?) This bread (yeah)
[02:34.74] I'm still (what?) Sour though (huh)
[02:36.18] I don't know (I'm a) square peg (in a) round hole (yeah)
[02:38.35] Like a block of cheese in a paper towel roll
[02:39.89] Rocky Balboa (I) never been no (what?) Towel thrower
[02:42.12] Even when I got kicked to the curb (yeah)
[02:43.69] Life knocked my dick in the dirt
[02:45.03] I got back up, flipped it the bird 'til I earned the attention I yearned
[02:47.38] Not to mention, I learned how to turn resentment and hurt
[02:49.15] To an unquenchable thirst, in the simplest terms
[02:50.93] It's revenge of the nerd, in every sense of the word
[02:53.57] But all you see is the fame and the millions
[02:55.47] You don't see the strength, the resilience (nah)
[02:56.95] How I rack my brain, but it feels as if I'm tryna explain it to children (damn)
[02:59.96] So a lot of this pain isn't healin', no escapin' it, this anger is spillin'
[03:02.96] Almost like recreatin' a feelin' of 9-11 when the second plane hit the building
[03:06.45] So let 'em paint you the villain
[03:07.66] Some of this just may be a symptom (yeah)
[03:09.42] Of havin' way too much income (mm)
[03:10.79] But when you struggled every day just to get some (yeah)
[03:12.43] Now all of this hate is a syndrome (yuh)
[03:13.95] When they can't relate, and that stems from (what?)
[03:15.44] Money lookin' like it grows on trees
[03:17.08] Yeah, they're green but those aren't leaves (leaves)
[03:18.83] Sufficed to say, with every sacrifice I made
[03:21.42] It's like I gave up my life to fame
[03:23.04] All the nights that I lied awake
[03:24.60] Nights I stayed up to write and pray
[03:26.18] Had to claw, scratch, and fight my way
[03:27.67] Just follow me, and I'll light the way
[03:29.22] Look to the hook if your sky look grey (sky look grey)
[03:31.13] And rappers, how can we be on the same level now?
[03:33.62] When I gotta look down and see these clowns that are on the ground
[03:35.71] Bitch, I got the clouds beneath me
[03:37.49] Ever since I put out the EP to the height of 2003-me
[03:40.11] You ain't see the struggle to make it out The D
[03:41.43] Because I made it somehow look easy
[03:43.27] Now you see me standin' in the lights
[03:46.45] But you never saw my sacrifice
[03:49.42] Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive
[03:55.32] Had to lose it all to win the fight
[03:58.68] I had to fall so many times
[04:01.79] (Oh-oh-oh) now I'm the last one standin'
[04:07.80] (Oh-oh-oh) now I'm the last one standin'
[04:13.05]
