Sacrifice

Yuh want a fancy car
Yuh want a pretty house
Yuh want the millions
That's all you ever talk about
Mi wah fi see mi yute dem live
Mi wah fi see dem out deh

Thats why me will do the work
Me will shed di tears
And voice til it hurts
Mi will do the work
Mi nah get nuh sleep
Til me do the job first
Thats why me will do the work
Me will shed the tears
And voice til it hurts
Mi will do the work
Mi nah get nuh sleep
Til me do di job first

Yeh mi know bout hungry
Mi know bout feeling less than
But mi nah guh join nuh clan
Fi tun inna yes man
Mi never join an empire
Mi seh mi a mek one
Mi never lean pon nuhbody
Me mi depend pon
Step out pon mi own
And guh one direction
Never stray from mi path
Mi a pay attention
Mi know seh 8 subject a nuh credentials
But mi feel more power when a pen in my hand
Or a voice inna the booth
And mi try fi keep it smooth
But emotions always conquer me
When mi think about the yutes
Weh brighter than a bulb
But then dem can't afford di schools
It hard fi get a work suh dem a hustle and a shoot
It hurt me even more because a more than just a few
Dem seh school is a necessity
But dem price it like luxury
Suh tell me what the fuck the ghetto yute supposed to do
Yuh really think dem nah guh look di food

Thats why me will do the work
Me will shed the tears
And voice til it hurts
Mi will do the work
Mi nah get nuh sleep
Til me do the job first
Thats why me will do the work
Me will shed the tears
And voice til it hurts
Mi will do the work
Mi nah get nuh sleep
Til me do the job first

My ambitions step further than my owna self
Mi wah set up the ting and distribute the wealth
Create some opportunities fi killaz pon the ends
Dat a one less man who ago try fi buss yuh head
Just imagine... if less yute a road did hungry
We coulda mek a likkle change within this country
But the leaders sometimes act like we beg dem something
If it nah fat up dem pocket den dem nah guh fund it
But everything govan
Me will gwan tough it out
Before mi sell mi soul
Mi prefer gwan go without
A one life mi have
Mi know mi cyah cruff it out
A nuff yute depend pon mi now

Thats why me will do the work
Me will shed the tears
And voice til it hurts
Mi will do the work
Mi nah get nuh sleep
Til me do the job first
Thats why me will do the work
Me will shed the tears
And voice til it hurts
Mi will do the work
Mi nah get nuh sleep
Til me do di job first

Yuh want a fancy car
Yuh want a pretty house
Yuh want the millions
That's all you ever talk about
Mi wah fi see mi yute dem live
Mi wah fi see dem out deh

Thats why me will do di work
Me will shed the tears
And voice til it hurts
Mi will do the work
Mi nah get nuh sleep
Til me do the job first
Thats why me will do the work
Me will shed di tears
And voice til it hurts
Mi will do the work
Mi nah get nuh sleep
Til me do the job first
