Last One Standing (From Venom: Let There Be Carnage)

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 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 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 tеsted me they only see thе 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 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 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 Stood firm 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 Longev' on the motion We don't abandon ship when it's hopeless Side of the 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 And all of the nightmares they made me stronger than life Yeah 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 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 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 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 of 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 Every since I put out the EP at 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 now I'm the last one standing Oh now I'm the last one standing
