Sacrifice

I had to
Sacrifice, sacrifice
Lord knows that I
Had to write, every night
Cause every night I
Sacrifice, sacrifice
Until the sun comes up
Had to write, every night
Cause I had to

Every single day I give what I got
Making sure I get paid gold in the pot
To pay all my bills, you don't know how that feels
Not many choices but I stay real

Yea, I'm not fake in the caption
Trying to make the rap shit, I'm not on the cap shit
Don't give a fuck about fame and the fashion
I write bout my life it's filled with the action

What you know about living in doubt and then sacrifice all of your bills
Then ask for a loan when you do not know if all of this is really real
You sacrifice time as well as your mind you ain't got no time to just chill
Even relationships turn into shit you never express how you feel, but

I do this for eight year old me
His parents don't have a degree
Whenever I look in the mirror
I sometimes don't like what I see

Times I was told I was lower than dirt
That's when I learned how to deal with the hurt
I turned it to work and I made it reverse
I know that they're hurt when I'm dropping a verse

So many times I was homeless
Couldn't lose sight had to focus
Was drowning in debt when I wrote this
For change is what I am hoping

Many times I had to climb
This mountain just to be ok
I'll say I'm fine but that's a lie
I need to breathe I need a break

So many things that I gave up I don't even make eight bucks
Never had enough to save up, too many things had to pay up
So many nights I stayed up, to learn how to be famous
So I don't have to be bankrupt, I try to find a way up

I had to
Sacrifice, sacrifice
Lord knows that I
Had to write, every night
Cause every night I
Sacrifice, sacrifice
Until the sun comes up
Had to write, every night
Cause I had to

Give up my time, and give up some sleep
Just to give me a chance at this music to work
Cause nobody wanted this more than I did
And I've dedicated this to proving my worth
Had to change how I'm living to elude the hearse
Only change that you got hangs loose in your purse
I'm burden to those that don't like to work
Cause I've earned every stripe they purchased, and that hurts 'em

Word around the street, is I'm a motherfucking beast
And you don't wanna mess with me
Cause I will make you rest in piece so

Keep all that talking behind my back
Only view that you'll have is my fat white ass
Cause I'm always in front of you and don't you forget it
I sacrificed so I don't have to fuck with you bitches

Ring around the rosey, with a pocket full of rockets
Everybody wanna pull 'em out and pop 'em at me
Cause you mad that you ain't poppin', ain't ever the topic of the conversation
Better stop it with the talking and leave
But you probably would be poppin, if you put the proper work in
But instead you steady bitching and crying about your problems
You a pussy motherfucker, stop it with the pocket watching
Then maybe your pockets would be fully flocking with the green

I know what I did to get where I got
Like 21 savage I gave up a lot
I'll keep up the grinding to get to the top
I won't ever be satisified with my spot

And I'll rise and shine, no decline in my thoughts
With the pride of a lion, my bite will slice rocks
And if I go down trying to grind this life I want
I went out on my shield and I fought

I had to
Sacrifice, sacrifice
Lord knows that I
Had to write, every night
Cause every night I
Sacrifice, sacrifice
Until the sun comes up
Had to write, every night
Cause I had to
