           C# minorC#m
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
          G# minorG#m BB
Jets overseas for a fire flight
C# minorC#m
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
   C# minorC#m
That lion in me made my heart fight
Coulda been a victim of a opp pipe
Took a million wishes just to get to this
                 G# minorG#m BB
Cause we ain't the ones that the cops like

They commentin' all on the blogs
Tryna tell me how to live my life

If you could take off

No days off, grind faithfully

the struggle so painfully

C# minorC#m
  Yeah, you know the code we gotta live by
Never mind all the ice cubes on
            G# minorG#m BB
this wrist, wearin' the big body
C# minorC#m
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


Verse 4: Mozzy
       A augmentedA

        A augmentedA
Ayy

him a chain, no cubic zirconies


Verse 5: Mozzy
          A augmentedA
White Zomb' and a stogie
         BB
stood firm, never foldin'
           C# minorC#m
Furthest thing from a rodent
               E MajorE
you put the jacket on and you bogus
   G# minorG#m        A augmentedA
Yeah, big dawg and they know it
             BB
I had to spin off to stay focused
      C# minorC#m
Longev' on emotion We don't
abandon ship when it's hopeless
Said I been broke before
and they know it


Bridge: Skylar Grey
        A augmentedA  BB
I make it look easy
    C# minorC#m     E MajorE
Like I made it overnight
 G# minorG#m     A augmentedA  BB
I make it look easy
    C# minorC#m
But you don't see the dark side
  G# minorG#m    A augmentedA
And all of the monsters
BB       C# minorC#m
I had to fight
  E MajorE     G# minorG#m A augmentedA
And all of the nightmares
BB           C# minorC#m
Made me stronger than life


Verse 6: Eminem
A augmentedA        BB
 Y'all say I've changed
Really though? How so?
C# minorC#m
  Got all this bread
     E MajorE
I'm still sourdough
A augmentedA           BB
 I don't know, square peg, round hole
            C# minorC#m
Like a block of cheese in a paper towel roll
Rocky Balboa, never been no towel thrower
A augmentedA
 Even when I got kicked to the curb
BB
Life knocked my dick in the dirt
 C# minorC#m
I got back up, flipped it the bird
    E MajorE
'Til I earned the attention I yearned
Not to mention
I learned
A augmentedA
How to turn resentment and
       BB
hurt to an unquenchable thirst

In the simplest terms
   C# minorC#m
it's revenge of the nerd

In every sense of the word


Verse 7: Eminem
            A augmentedA
But all you see is the fame and the millions
          BB
You don't see the strength, the resilience
       C# minorC#m
How I rack my brain, but it feels as if
       E MajorE
I'm tryin' to explain it to children
G# minorG#m       A augmentedA
So a lot of this pain isn't healin'
           BB
No escapin' it, this anger is spillin'
         C# minorC#m
Almost like recreatin' the feelin'
Of 9/11 when the second plane hit the buildin'
G# minorG#m    A augmentedA
So let 'em paint me the villain
         BB
Some of this just may be a symptom
     C# minorC#m
Of havin' way too much income
               E MajorE
But when you struggled every day just to
             A augmentedA
get some Now all of this hate is a syndrome
         BB
When they can't relate and that stems from
           C# minorC#m
Money lookin' like it grows on trees
Yeah, they're green, but those aren't leaves


Verse 8: Eminem
  A augmentedA               BB
Sufficed to say, with every sacrifice I made
            C# minorC#m
It's like I gave up my life to fame
           E MajorE
All the nights that I lied awake
           A augmentedA
Nights I stayed up to write and prayed
             BB
Had to claw, scratch, and fight my way
            C# minorC#m
Just follow me and I'll light the way
Look to the hook if your sky look grey
       A augmentedA
And rappers, how can we be
       BB
On the same level now when I
gotta look down and see these
C# minorC#m
Clowns that are on the ground?
       E MajorE
Bitch
I got clouds beneath me
         A augmentedA
Ever since I put out the EP
         BB
to the height of 2003-me
You ain't see the struggle
      C# minorC#m
to make it out The D MajorD
Because I made it
  E MajorE
somehow look easy


Chorus 3/Outro: Skylar Grey
        A augmentedA       BB
Now you see me standin' in the lights
       C# minorC#m     E MajorE
But you never saw my sacrifice
G# minorG#m    A augmentedA        BB     C# minorC#m
Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive
G# minorG#m      A augmentedA       BB
Had to lose it all to win the fight
     C# minorC#m     E MajorE   G# minorG#m  A augmentedA
I had to fall so many times (Oh-oh-oh)
      BB        C# minorC#m
Now I'm the last one standin'
   A augmentedA       BB        C# minorC#m
Oh-oh-oh Now I'm the last one standin'
