Last Laugh
VI Seconds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, Yeah
Look
1, 2, look
A strange child, not many would play with me
Grew up a bit, same thing, I told them all to wait and see
I'll be something you'll hate to see from you throwing your shade at me
Now no one wants a fade from me, the opposite of make-believe
The throne has a vacancy, perfect for the shape of me
Now ladies wearing Maybelline, trying to get fifty shades of me
The same people who praising me to aim at me heinously
While I starve with 50 Cents and Eminem's waiting patiently
Now I'm eating and they all want my food in their mouths Cause I'm wining and dining on food they'll never pronounce
Fly and physically fit on a [?] doin' pull-ups
With a beauty, with an accent and designer clothes from Europe
Bitch, dweller turned deity, the flip is such a miracle
A Demigod now, boy y'all once called me minuscule
Yo it's pitiful, you wanted me to drop, but now I'm this god
I won't stop until I cop and rock my pair of McFly's

I wasn't nothing to y'all last year
Why the fuck am I something now?
Cause I proved that I'm the man here?
Shit, that's the reason that they hunt me down
Everybody said I ain't shit, funny
Now I'm living and it ain't shit to me
Shedding tears with a hand on my chest
Cause having the last laugh is the best
Rock with me, look

Snacking on mangoes, show the way the game goes
It's strange though, now that I'm unchained like Django
There's a million eyes on the very way that my chain glows
And a bit of bitterness residing in my brain bro
Hello, my name's Stefan, the nigga you people were stepping on
The nigga you pushed to the brink of snapping and running up at you weapons drawn
But a couple of questions I need you to answer, now that it's us and the rest are gone
Don't worry 'bout feelings cause none of you fuckers have ever once given your shoulder to rest upon
Now, why was I not acceptable?
I tried for your friendship, in your eyes I was a vegetable
Neglected by the rest of you, now I'm pouring my heart out
When I was calm, set aside
Now y'all riding by the smart mouth
Y'all made me feel worthless, would fist feed curses
Sucking me cause I'm a wordsmith, now y'all don't deserve shit
That's word, bitch, claiming friends cause right on point like infrared
Shows he'd rather know him instead
I'm saying

I wasn't nothing to y'all last year
Why the fuck am I something now?
Cause I proved that I'm the man here?
Shit, that's the reason that they hunt me down
Everybody said I ain't shit, funny
Now I'm living and it ain't shit to me
Shedding tears with a hand on my chest
Cause having the last laugh is the best
Rock with me, look

Blood, sweat, and tears from my position
People cheer for my wisdom, and I never show a fear to the system
Top tiers, you can list them, I'm revered in my career
And it's clear you won't see me stop here, nigga listen
I flare at the thought of mingling with you frauds
Jocking me cause your songs are made that have dropped your jaws
Or dropped the drawers of the broad, you made your woman crush Wednesday
Or the fact that my laundry day looks better than your best day
The same nigga you shunned, is the same one you looking at
Not leaving a crumb for any one of you crooked acts
Given opportunity, I go the farthest distance
To be able to tell the old me, "Don't try to fit in"
These people ain't worth it they'll be applauding you soon
Stay strong and keep these words inside your heart, cause it's true
You'll get to this point, and you'll never need to give a damn
Just keep your fists balled off and walk it off, little man

I wasn't nothing to y'all last year
Why the fuck am I something now?
Cause I proved that I'm the man here?
Shit, that's the reason that they hunt me down
Everybody said I ain't shit, funny
Now I'm living and it ain't shit to me
Shedding tears with a hand on my chest




Cause having the last laugh is the best
Rock with me, look

Listen up man, you are so motivational, I don't even believe you understand it. YOU inspired hundreds of rappers, you've motivated people to get up in the morning and go to work. YOU are the reason why me, along with many others are still here <3. Ignore the haters, we all know that you've already made it.

Sixx has such a great style with his songs. His songs are not just another rap track. His music tells great stories, and that's something that not a lot of other rappers do often. He is great at what he does, and should be very proud of his work. :)

Your music has really touched me on an emotional level. I get things from your music that helps me see life from more than one perspective. Its amazing how you went from nothing to something in such a short amount of time, and even better that you get the last laugh on everyone that doubted you from your younger years. You are a true inspiration to the younger generation. Praise to you man!
