Sacrifices Lyrics – Symba
Tell me, if I fall, would you pick me back up?
Niggas back around me ’cause I got my bag up
Got it out the mud, built it from the ground up
Countin’ all this money but the love don’t add up
I done made sacrifice after sacrifice, I swear
Put my heart in this *** but the love wasn’t there
I done made sacrifice after sacrifice, I swear
Put my all in this *** (Put my all in this ***)
Drivin’ up the 5 to get out the way
To bring light to my city, I had to leave the Bay
I was scared as *** when I first move to L.A
Barely survivin’, I couldn’t afford to make a mistake
I bought my first studio off Sherman Way
Me and Chels was in that *** every day
I lost my granny, lost my uncle, almost lost my way
I lost my first deal but ***, I never lost my faith
If it wasn’t for my momma or Hayley’s Mazda
I would’ve never made it to this point where I get acknowledged
Pullin’ up to niggas sessions, noddin’, while they play they ***
Actin’ like they *** is amazin’ for a relationship
Ignorin’ phone calls, I’m gettin’ sick of entertainin’ ***
Outgrowin’ people that I love is becomin’ dangerous
The people I’m around, ain’t the people I should’ve made it with
And when they want more, they act like you never gave ’em ***
Confidence come off as cocky, it’s confusin’ to ’em
Don’t nobody take you serious ’til you prove it to ’em
My momma was never Donda but she was honest
She would break her heart before she’d break her promise
She probably wish I would’ve stuck to hoopin’, went to college
My auntie call me twice a week ’cause rappers out here dyin’
My *** Ferg gave me his word and put the bag behind it
You niggas only see these diamonds, not my sacrifices
Tell me, if I fall, would you pick me back up?
Niggas back around me ’cause I got my bag up
Got it out the mud, built it from the ground up
Countin’ all this money but the love don’t add up
I done made sacrifice after sacrifice, I swear
Put my heart in this *** but the love wasn’t there
I done made sacrifice after sacrifice, I swear
Put my all in this *** (Put my all in this ***)
I’m still missin’ Hungry, I’m still missin’ Bugzy
I dedicate this to my son, he know his daddy love him
I pray the work that I put in will be in your steppin’ stone (Yeah)
For you to get it on your own ’cause ain’t *** set in stone
In life you gotta learn to navigate your highs and lows
You lookin’ up to me, I can’t be out here movin’ wrong
Can’t let these streets be the reason that I’m not comin’ home
I can’t be locked up, tryna raise my baby through a phone
No, I had to make commitments (Commitments)
I broke friendships, they paid for they decisions (Everbody can’t go)
That’s when I learned to sacrifice my feelings for my dreams (Facts)
Can’t let these niggas insecurities divide the team, *** you mean?
Tell me, if I fall, would you pick me back up?
Niggas back around me ’cause I got my bag up
Got it out the mud, built it from the ground up
Countin’ all this money but the love don’t add up
I done made sacrifice after sacrifice, I swear
Put my heart in this *** but the love wasn’t there
I done made sacrifice after sacrifice, I swear
Put my all in this *** (Put my all in this ***)
Sometimes I regret
Missin’ my kids birthdays
Not bein’ a better man for the woman of my life
Losin’ friends ’cause of this business
I sacrificed a lot to be here
And did it all in the name of greatness
When it’s all said and done
I hope it was worth it
