"Last Man Standing"

Just a kid at the age of 13 he's an outsider

Growing up in a crew it's your fault you pushed him out

Look at him now, he's wearing $10,000 chains around his neck

Designer tracksuits, earned more than their parent's heck

Living in a place that was hardly the land of opportunity

But they didn't need a job to make it to the big city

It was a game play now pay later, it was the motto

But soon they'd see that there WOULD be no tomorrow

But you don't stay mates forever his friend said

What happened, took him out and left him for dead

But a proud soldier he was, propelled by anger

Crawling forward his soul a burning ember

His legs gave way, he lay preparing to die

He knew this would happen because he was the bad guy

But the strange thing was that he could feel no pain

He looked out and all he said was an empty plane

But fate, he found, was not finished with him just yet

He looked up and saw a big aeroplane jet

He heard a sound, he said wow this is kind of odd

He heard a siren in the distance he said thank god

Then he was dropped off at a Western Hospital

He couldn't move his legs not even a little

And waking up after 6 hours of surgery

He remembered his friends' little act of perjury

He wanted Revenge but it came back to bite him

And now his friend shot him, it was only just to spite him

He heard of voice say there's still time to change your ways

The voice was God and he found out that he could still be saved

Another path was opening up and he started to pray

He realised that he didn't want to leave, he wanted to stay

And even though he was back into the small life, he was alive

And instead of following his friends to the grave, he survived

He was indeed The Last Man Standing
