The Last Man Standing

I came screamin’ into life on a cold, black night, Mama said, “This boy’s gonna fight his whole damn life.” Hard times raised me up, sharpened every bone, Learned early this world takes blood before it loans. Grew up scraping through the dirt just tryin’ to survive, Watched good men vanish while I stayed alive. By thirteen I’d seen shit most grown folks never see— So if life wants to break me, it better come for me. Every scar on my skin’s a war I outlasted, Proof that even hell couldn’t keep me blasted. I’m the LAST! MAN! STANDIN’!, hear me scream it through the night, Through the fire, through the blood, through every motherfuckin’ fight. Let the world fall apart, let the cowards crawl— I’m still here, still breathin’, I ain’t ever fallin’. I’m the LAST! MAN! STANDIN’!, lightning in my chest, A goddamn hurricane you’ll never put to rest. They talk big in the dark, but they don’t know my name— I’m the storm-born outlaw, I don’t play their game. I’ve watched brothers drift away, turn to ghosts in the wind, Saw men sell their backbone just to try and fit in. Loved a woman once—thought she’d ride ’til the end… She chose the quiet lie, I chose who I am. Every year cuts deeper, sharpens every line, This world don’t get kinder—it just tests the spine. I ain’t built to bend, ain’t wired to pretend— I’d rather stand alone than lose myself again. When the sky turns black and the night starts demandin’, I dig my boots in deep… and I keep standin’. I’m the LAST! MAN! STANDIN’!, hear me scream it through the night, Through the fire, through the blood, through every motherfuckin’ fight. Let the world fall apart, let the cowards crawl— I’m still here, still breathin’, I ain’t ever fallin’. I’m the LAST! MAN! STANDIN’!, lightning in my chest, A goddamn hurricane you’ll never put to rest. They talk big in the dark, but they don’t know my name— I’m the storm-born outlaw, I don’t play their game. Death tried once already—thought I’d stay down. But I spit dirt in his face and stood my ground. So if the world breaks slow one piece at a time… Let it. I’m still on the line. I’m the LAST! MAN! STANDIN’!, hear me scream it through the night, Through the fire, through the blood, through every motherfuckin’ fight. Let the world fall apart, let the cowards crawl— I’m still here, still breathin’, I ain’t ever fallin’. I’m the LAST! MAN! STANDIN’!, lightning in my chest, A goddamn hurricane you’ll never put to rest. Let the heavens crack open, let ’em scream my name— I’m the LAST! MAN! STANDIN’!, and I don’t play their game.
