Sacrifices Lyrics by Benicio

WHEN WE GET THERE

2020

[Shirley Chisholm]
I realize that this is a rough road
But a catalyst for change in a society is usually persona non-grata to those who have been the beneficiaries of the system
A catalyst for change has to be able to withstand the insults the humiliations the abuses and the slurs --
-- After all for 15 years I have been the Ghostwriter for a lot of them
[Intro]
Yeah
Turn me up
(K.O-K.O-K.O)
And listen to me
(Doc Skill's on it, most definite)
[Verse 1]
Yeah
Made so many sacrifices to the game
All I ever wanted was a bit of Fame
Not bеcause I wanted evеryone to know my name
Because I want my music heard and cop myself a bigger chain
Sometimes I wanna quit and give it up for good
Get a 9 to 5 instead I know my mother would want me to live a normal life and settle for a suit and tie
I could do it if I wanted but I'd be living a lie
So I'm grinding till it's over and the wheels fall
I'd rather die for something than live for nothing at all
I started with a lot of boys who felt the same way
But some have gone a different path and even switched lanes
I miss days when everybody would spit flames nowadays nobody really rapping no more
Not a lot of people do it for the passion no more
They only thinking bout the money I know that is sure
It could never be me
I'm a different breed
Even with the odds against me I'll never retreat
I lay out all of my emotions on every beat
Hoping that my words are echoed in every street and that's real
I wrote this song to get some closure
I know that my time is here I feel it getting closer
These are just some thoughts I share to get a little closer to
Every single fan and Imma do it till it's over
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Arhnn
Made so many sacrifices to the Game
I can't even find all the words to explain
Everything I'm going through and including my pain
Not to mention all my friends with whom I'm currently estranged
We were supposed to rule the world but look at us now
We haven't even got together in the longest while
I'm out here tryna be a Legend so forgive me
Just know if a nigga make it I'm taking you niggas with me
But I know you niggas wanna see the real me (yeah)
I just wanna make a couple bandz for my family you feel me
Cause I don't wanna be the same no more
Don't wanna feel the pain no more
I can feel it in my brain oh Lord
I can't take no more
If you say you'll never leave the boy then I ain't even gotta say no more
But I'm feeling kind of down and I'm also in my feels
Thinking if the music really gonna pay the bills
Thinking if I'm ever gonna get a better deal
All this overthinking really got me tripping I for chill
I ain't even lying when I say I paid the price
For the music that I'm doing and I made the sacrifice
But I ain't gonna trip I know that this is what I choose
So instead I'm gonna keep my music coming on a roll
My and all my niggas we about to blow and I mean real quick
I know all of my niggas gonna feel this
And shout out to my people who dey hold a nigga down and dey listen to my music on some real shit
I'm tryna make a milli off a rap tune
Like the ones who came before me also get a plaque too
And do it for the children and for everyone to see
That nobody can ever come and take away your dreams and that's some real shit
And that's some real shit
Yeah
