Now you see me
AStandin' in Bthe lights
But you never

Or all the Anights

AAll to win Bthe fight
I had to C#mfall
So maEny times
G#mOhohohohAoh
Now BI'm
The last one standin' C#m
Uh, you weren't C#mwith me
[Verse 1]
On the cold block nights
Now you front row
For the spotlight
Now the diamonds
In the Audemars bright
Jets overseasG#m for a far flight
C#mYoung nigga on bullshit,
And I ball on 'em,
[Bill]Knew [Cartwright]I could shine
Through the darkness
I guess I always
G#mBeen a star type
That C#mlion in me made
My heart fight
Coulda been a victim
Of a opp pipe
Took a million risks
Just to get to this
'Cause we ain't the ones G#m
That the cops like
Been so C#mmany timеs
God tested me
Thеy only see
The answers I got right
They commentin'
All on the blogs
Tryna tell me
G#mHow to live my life
A And I waited so patiently
BIf you could take off,
Don't wait for me
No C#mdays off, grind faithfully
EI keep thankin'
God for G#msavin' me
Front Aline, showcasin'
Our braveBry
I know that top spot,
It was made for me
It all C#mpaid off, so we felt
The struggle so painfully
Now you see me
[Chorus]
AStandin' in Bthe lights
But you never
C#mSaw my saEcrifi ce G#m
Or all the Anights
I had Bto struggle
To surviC#mve
G#mHad to lose it
AAll to win Bthe fight
I had to C#mfall
So maEny times
G#mOhohohohAoh
Now BI'm
The last one standin' C#m
[Verse 2]
C#m Yeah, you know the code
We gotta live by
Never mind all the ice cubes
On this wrist, G#mwearin' the big body
C#mLive 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 G#m
from them Ls
Bet he don't Adouble
Back when he tell
'Cause Bit ain't no comin'
Back when you tell
Why would you C#mleave
Me here by myself?
A Enigga be lonely G#m
Ayy, I blew the Awhole bag
On they flights,
Ain't Bleavin' the homies
If he really C#mgang, then
Get him a chain,
No cubic zirconies
G#mWhy's arm in a Astogie, Stood firm, B
never folded
Furthest thing from a C#mrodent, You put the jacket on
EAnd you bogus
Yeah, G#mbig dawg and
They Aknow it I had to spinoff
BTo stay focused
Longev' on the C#mmotion
We don't abandon ship
When it's hopeless
I make it look Aeasy B
[Bridge]
Like I C#mmade it overEnight
I G#mmake it look Aeasy B
But you C#mdon't see the dark side
And G#mall of the Amonsters B
I had to fightC#m And E
all of the G#mnightAmares B
Made me stronger than C#mlife
[Verse 3]
Yeah,A y'all say BI've changed
Really though? How so?
C#m Got all Ethis bread
I'm stillG#m sourdough
A I don't know,
BSquare peg, round hole
Like a block of cheese
C#mIn a paper towel roll
Rocky Balboa, never been No G#m
towel thrower
A Even when I got kicked to the Bcurb
Life knocked my dick in the dirt
I C#mgot back up, flipped it the bird
E'Til I earned the attention I yearned
G#mNot to mention, I learned
AHow to turn resentment
And hurt to an Bunquenchable thirst
In the simplest terms,
It's reC#mvenge of the nerd
In every sense of the word
But all G#myou see is
The Afame and the millions
You don't Bsee
The strength, the resilience
How I rack my C#mbrain,
But it feels as if
I'm Etryin' to explain it to children G#m
So a lot of this Apain isn't healin'
No escaBpin' it, this anger is spillin'
Almost like recreC#matin' the feelin'
Of nine eleven when the second
Plane hit the buildin' G#m
So let 'em Apaint me the villain
Some of Bthis just may be a symptom
Of havin' C#mway too much income
But when you Estruggled
Every day just to get some G#m
Now all of this Ahate is a syndrome
When they Bcan't relate
And that stems from
Money lookin' like
It C#mgrows on trees
Yeah, they're green,
But those aren't leaves G#m
SufAficed to say, with
Every Bsacrifice I made
It's like I gave up my C#mlife to fame All the nights E
that I lied awake
G#mNights I stayed up to
AWrite and prayed Had to claw, B
scratch,
And fight my way
Just follow me and
I'll C#mlight the way
Look to the hook
If your sky look grey G#m
And rappers, Ahow can we be
On the Bsame level now when
I gotta look down and see these
C#mClowns that are on the ground?
Bitch, EI got clouds beneath me G#m
Ever since I put Aout the EP
To the height Bof
Two thousand three me
You ain't see the struggle
To make it C#mout The D.
Because I made
It somehow look easy
G#mNow you see me
[Chorus]
AStandin' in Bthe lights
But you never
C#mSaw my saEcrifi ce G#m
Or all the Anights
I had Bto struggle
To surviC#mve
G#mHad to lose it
AAll to win Bthe fight
I had to C#mfall
So maEny times
G#mOhohohohAoh
Now BI'm
The last one standin' C#m
G#mOhohohohAoh
Now BI'm
The last one standin' C#m
