                C#m
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
G#m         B
Just overseas for a far flight
 C#m
Young ☠☠☠☠* on ☠☠☠☠☠☠ 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

They commentin’ all on the blogs, tryna tell me how to live my life
A                                         B
And I waited so patiently, if you could take off, don’t wait for me

I keep thankin’ God for savin’ me
       A
Front line, showcasin’ our bravery

Nevermind all the ice cubes on this wrist wearin’ the big body
C#m
Live by the gun, get bodied or sell the time in that cell

It was hella times where I failed
                           G#m
When I had to double back from them Ls

‘Cause it ain’t no comin’ back when you tell
               C#m                        E
Why would you leave me here by myself? A ☠☠☠☠* be lonely
G#m               A                                B

             C#m                            E
If he really gang then get him a chain, no Cubans and Koneys
                 A
Why is arm in a
        B
Stood firm, never foldin’
                       C#m
Furthest thing from a rodent

                   B
I had to spin off to stay focused

Longev’ on the motion

We don’t abandon ship when it’s hopeless, Side of the map and they know

🎸 Bridge:
               A  B
I make it look easy
       C#m           E
Like I made it overnight
   G#m         A  B
I make it look easy
        C#m
But you don’t see the dark side
    G#m          A      B         C#m
And all of the monsters I had to fight
     E         G#m A        B                         C#m

  Y’all say (What), I’ve changed (Huh)
                               C#m
Really, though? (Tell me), how so? (I got)
                                                               A

                     B
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
A
Even when I got kicked to the curb (Yeah)
B
Life knocked my ☠☠☠☠ in the dirt
C#m
I got back up, flipped it the bird
        E
‘Til I earned the attention I yearned
        G#m        A
Not to mention I learned
                                          B
How to turn resentment and hurt to an unquenchable thirst

In the simplest terms
      C#m                            E
It’s revenge of the nerd, in every sense of the word
            G#m          A
But all you see is the fame and the millions
           B
You don’t see the strength and resilience (Nah)
               C#m                           E
How I rack my brain but it feels as if I’m tryna explain it to children (Damn)
G#m               A                                      B
So a lot of this pain isn’t healin’, you’re escapin’ at this angerous feeling
               C#m
Almost like recreatin’ a feelin’ of 9/11 when the second plane hit the building
            A
So let ’em paint you the villain
              B                                      C#m
Some of this just may be a symptom (Yeah), of havin’ way too much income (Mm)
                E
But when you struggled every day just to get some (Yeah)
G#m              A                                           B
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)
    A                          B
Sufficed to say, with every sacrifice I made
                       C#m
It’s like I gave up my life to fame
                        E
All the nights that I lied awake
          G#m           A
Nights I stayed up to write and pray
                B
Had to claw, scratch and fight my way
                        C#m
Just follow me and I’ll light the way

Look to the hook of your sky, look grey (Skylar Grey)
     G#m      A                          B
And rappers, how can we be on the same level now?
                                      C#m
When I gotta look down and see these clowns that are on the ground
       E
☠☠☠☠*, I got the clouds beneath me
 G#m          A                                B
Ever since I put out the EP at the height of 2003 me
                                      C#m
You ain’t see the struggle to make it out the D
                   E
Because I made it somehow look easy

🎸 Chorus:
                 A               B
Now you see me standin’ in the lights

But you never saw my sacrifice
   G#m       A          B                 C#m
Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive
G#m             A              B
Had to lose it all to win the fight
         C#m           E
I had to fall so many times
G#m  A              B           C#m
Oh,    now I’m the last one standing
G#m  A              B           C#m
Oh,    now I’m the last one standing
