Sacrifice ft. Amore Jones & Terrence Esquire Huggins Lyrics

Let me tell you what it's like to chase a rap career

What it's like to build to something from the ground with your tears

Whats it's like to bounce around these different studios

What it's like to be underrated by friends and foes

What's it's like to pay people who never do they job

What's it's like to perform your heart out with no applause

What's it's like to have to do everything by yourself

And whats it like to wear dingy clothes with a shitty belt

What it's like to tell a women you ain't got the time

Whats it's like to always feel like you on the outside

What it's like to pay people for a simple promotion

Whats it's like to feel all they did was go through the motions

What's it's like to spend 10 grand on an album

Only to put it out not satisfied with the outcome

What its like to feel you don't have any family

We never thought the same and I know you can't understand me

Why do they treat me wrong

I only want to live off a dream is all

I just want to take care of mom

Find someone to love

Not work a normal job

Im going way to hard

Hardly anyone talks about whats behind the scenes

I use my story to show the bullets wounds in my wings

I used to intern at a label they treated me wrong

Had me sweeping up dirt we never got along

Disrespected by producers that look down on me

Swear every time I look up there's a dark cloud on me

Somebody slipped me a note said my music was trash

Turn it off I swear to god that it will never last

People ask, why I always rap with aggression

It's because I told myself I would teach em a lesson

I yell inside my songs cuz I'm so sick of opinions

Most don't know whats its like when you fight to be different

So you walk around lying hiding your own demons

Pushing darkness on others cuz you couldn't achieve it

Ill never forget you people, as long as I live

Memory ain't the best but I wont never forget

I feel responsible for telling you all like it is

This ins't easy at times I feel that I want to quit

Music isn't glamorous blowing up isn't real

Only a small fraction of artists get good record deals

You gotta build up a business put together a brand

Be a leader of people worthy of gaining fans

Too many artists think being dope is enough

If that were true, I'd have 30 grammies inside my trunk

I learned the hard way how this industry operates

And I got battle scars, proving all my mistakes

I been through 4 engineers 6 videographers

To many producers at least 20 photographers

I haven't met a person who yet can match what I'm able

These motherfuckers stealing my bread like I got a table

Disappoints at every corner I'm sorry

Don't get into business praying you hit the lottery
