Sacrifice

Lyrics

[Intro: Tech N9ne] 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 [Chorus: Jehry Robinson] So one day I'll be old enough to get it right 'Cause Lord knows we don't put up with the sacrifice So 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 [Verse 1: Tech N9ne] 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 step father 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 [Chorus: Jehry Robinson] So one day I'll be old enough to get it right 'Cause Lord knows we don't put up with the sacrifice So 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 [Verse 2: Tech N9ne] 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 [Chorus: Jehry Robinson] So one day I'll be old enough to get it right 'Cause Lord knows we don't put up with the sacrifice So 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 [Verse 3: Tech N9ne] 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 [Chorus: Jehry Robinson] So one day I'll be old enough to get it right 'Cause Lord knows we don't put up with the sacrifice So 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 [Outro: Reign Yates, Tech N9ne] These are really good stories, dad I'ma have to hit you back, baby, uh I got a missed call from Bella Alrighty, talk you later I love you Love you too Peace
