Sacrifice

(album: Trik Turner - 2002)

From day to day I know that I'm in all of your conversations
You never have anything good to say about me
That's ok cause everyone's entitled to their own opinions
Cause everyone's a critic, and even on your best days
Someone's got something bad to say
Yet I ignore the things I hear, ignore the things I fear
And look past all that tries to bring me down
And I know that I don't have much I
Sacrifice a good life while I watch these bills keep adding
Up and I know that I'm not getting any younger as another
Year passes by
I have to stop and wonder
If it's all really worth the struggle
Or that mirage of light I keep chasing at the end of the tunnel
Will get any brighter
Or will it just fade away the closer I get , the further it seems
From reaching my dreams
And I just don't know how much more I can
Take before I give up and throw it all away

[Hook]
When push comes to shove
You gotta hold on , you gotta be strong
And look for that light from above
Cause everyone's out to bring you down
And if you can't keep your head up
Then your lost
I've seen better days been told better ways
How to live and how to give, it's relative
I walk with sedatives it's hell I live
And home is sweet, I'm killing myself softly
My reflections show deep infections
It's hard to be, I look at myself, I look at this life
And all I feel is pain, god help me start again
I gotta keep on, I gotta keep on pushing cause I
Some how some way keep coming up short
Like everyday my minds playing tricks on me
Everybody loves sunny days but I prefer
Grey ones and long nights because when the
Day comes, it's just another 24 and I'm still numb
Not so young I know what it takes, they say
Roll with the brakes and slip them ties with the fakes
I still get them shakes just thinking bout this
Ish right here two dub two maybe this gonna be
That year

[Bridge]
Everyone has to pay a price no matter what we sacrifice
I hope it's worth it nothing is for certain
