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
