[Chorus 1] Skylar Grey
AB
Now you see me standin' in the lights
C#mE
But you never saw my sacrifice
G#mABC#m
Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive
G#mAB
Had to lose it all to win the fight
C#mEG#mA
I had to fall so many times (Oh-oh-oh)
BC#m
Now I'm the last one standin'
[Verse 1] Polo G
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 Audemars bright
G#mB
Jets overseas for a fire flight
C#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#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#mB
Cause we ain't the ones that the cops like
C#m
Been so many times God tested me
They only see the answers I got right
They commentin' all on the blogs
Tryna tell me how to live my life
[Verse 2] Polo G
A
And I waited so patiently
B
If you could take off
don't wait for me
C#m
No days off, grind faithfully
E
I keep thankin' God for savin' me
A
Front line, showcasin' our bravery
B
I know that top spot
it was made for me
C#m
It all paid off, so we felt
the struggle so painfully
[Chorus 2] Skylar Grey
AB
Now you see me standin' in the lights
C#mE
But you never saw my sacrifice
G#mABC#m
Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive

Had to lose it all to win the fight
C#mEG#mA
I had to fall so many times (Oh-oh-oh)
BC#m
Now I'm the last one standin'
[Verse 3] Mozzy
C#m
Yeah, you know the code we gotta live by
Never mind all the ice cubes on
G#mB
this wrist, wearin' the big body
C#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
Bet he don't double back when he tell
B
Cause it ain't no comin
back when you tell
C#m
Why would you leave me here by
E
myself? A nigga be lonely
A
Ayy, I blew the whole bag on
they flights, ain't
B
leavin' the homies
C#m
If he really gang, then get
him a chain, no cubic zirconies
[Verse 5] Mozzy
A
White Zomb' and a stogie
B
stood firm, never foldin'
C#m
Furthest thing from a rodent
E
you put the jacket on and you bogus
G#mA
Yeah, big dawg and they know it
B
I had to spin off to stay focused
C#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
AB
I make it look easy
C#mE
Like I made it overnight
G#mAB
I make it look easy
C#m
But you don't see the dark side
G#mA
And all of the monsters
BC#m
I had to fight
EG#mA
And all of the nightmares
BC#m
Made me stronger than life
[Verse 6] Eminem
AB
Y'all say I've changed
Really though? How so?
C#m
Got all this bread
E
I'm still sourdough
AB
I don't know, square peg, round hole
C#m
Like a block of cheese in a paper towel roll
Rocky Balboa, never been no towel thrower
A
Even when I got kicked to the curb
B
Life knocked my dick in the dirt
C#m
I got back up, flipped it the bird
E
'Til I earned the attention I yearned
Not to mention, I learned
A
How to turn resentment and
B
hurt to an unquenchable thirst
In the simplest terms
C#m
it's revenge of the nerd
In every sense of the word
[Verse 7] Eminem
A
But all you see is the fame and the millions
B
You don't see the strength, the resilience
C#m
How I rack my brain, but it feels as if
E
I'm tryin' to explain it to children
G#mA
So a lot of this pain isn't healin'
B
No escapin' it, this anger is spillin'
C#m
Almost like recreatin' the feelin'
Of 9/11 when the second plane hit the buildin'
G#mA
So let 'em paint me the villain
B
Some of this just may be a symptom
C#m
Of havin' way too much income
E
But when you struggled every day just to
A
get some Now all of this hate is a syndrome
B
When they can't relate and that stems from
C#m
Money lookin' like it grows on trees
Yeah, they're green, but those aren't leaves
[Verse 8] Eminem
AB
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
A
Nights I stayed up to write and prayed
B
Had to claw, scratch, and fight my way
C#m
Just follow me and I'll light the way
Look to the hook if your sky look grey
A
And rappers, how can we be
B
On the same level now when I
gotta look down and see these
C#m
Clowns that are on the ground?
E
Bitch, I got clouds beneath me
A
Ever since I put out the EP
B
to the height of 2003-me
You ain't see the struggle
C#m
to make it out The D
Because I made it
E
somehow look easy
[Chorus 3/Outro] Skylar Grey
AB
Now you see me standin' in the lights
C#mE
But you never saw my sacrifice
G#mABC#m
Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive
