Sacrifice

I ain't really get to do a lot of fun things

That other teenagers got to do

So sacrificing all that, I worked on my craft

So one day I'll be old enough to get it right

'Cause Lord knows we don't put up with the sacrifice

It's all inside your head, don't you give up

Just know I done my best while we living

But some days I can't see all the sun

Through the rain sun through the rain)

And I won't give up until you know why we came

It's the sacrifice

Living under strict rules

In the house, so then I skipped school

Because that choice I did choose

Didn't get to hang with Mike, Will, or Big Scoob

My stepfather had some issues

With the way that I conducted myself so this muse

Sat up in his room and created sick grooves

With blues of a juve', it was the lit fuse

At home in the room, I'm distant

But my step daddy was persistent

Saying I should change my mission

'Cause out of all these rappers, what makes you different?

I was in the stars and that brought me back to life

Could not rap until the rap was right

Other activities I'd sacrifice

So one day I'll be old enough to get it right

'Cause Lord knows we don't put up with the sacrifice

It's all inside your head, don't you give up

Just know I done my best while we living

But some days I can't see all the sun

Through the rain sun through the rain)

And I won't give up until you know why we came

It's the sacrifice

Instead of kicking it with the homies, I worked on his passion

The food business made me really miss rapping

On fish and cheese steaks I was knick - knacking

But it's blasting inside of my head

When grease right on my red Puma's

The kicks wack and I miss laughing with the fellas

Miss that when I'm working at Steak & Take and at Fish Captain

But when I get home

The music flicks on

And I get lost in that shit, my lonely feelings get gone

I guess my time to kick it with the homies

Gonna be in the afterlife

The rap delights, I got other things

That's the price and what I had to sacrifice

So one day I'll be old enough to get it right

'Cause Lord knows we don't put up with the sacrifice

It's all inside your head, don't you give up

Just know I done my best while we living

But some days I can't see all the sun

Through the rain sun through the rain)

And I won't give up until you know why we came

It's the sacrifice

Senior prom, this working teen was gone

When I was a young man and I missed all that

All I thought was "mean Hassan"

But the green was bomb that I made while working

Things was calm but had gripes

Woes working on flows

When everybody else had worlds of fun, grad night

Inside I was hurting

But now I'm a surgeon

When it comes to writing rhymes

The practice made this be certain

Yes, I guess I missed a lot as a kid

But rap was caught by Tech

And back in the day unconsciously

I got the "Sacrifice" tatt across my chest

So one day I'll be old enough to get it right

'Cause Lord knows we don't put up with the sacrifice

It's all inside your head, don't you give up

Just know I done my best while we living

But some days I can't see all the sun

Through the rain sun through the rain)

And I won't give up until you know why we came

It's the sacrifice

It's the sacrifice

It's the sacrifice

It's the sacrifice

It's the sacrifice

These are really good stories, dad

I'ma have to hit you back, baby, uh

I got a missed call from Bella

Alright, talk you later

I love you

Love you too
