I ain't really get to do a lot of fun things 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) But I won't give up until you know why we came It's the sacrifice This happened 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) But 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) But 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 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
