Sacrifices

(álbum: More Life - 2017)

Wrote this shit, January 21
Baby girl, I had to run, I'll be back a couple months
Kendall turned 21, was up the street with 21
They could see me on-line, but they won't see me on the ones
I got Dubai plates in the California state
I got her waiting at my place, I got no baby on the way
I'm talking Baby like Stunna, I'm talking Baby like Face
Lost millions in the past, I'm talking maybe like eight
Couple niggas from the city
Wishing on a star, could they be like Drake
Sorry, no, not today, you gotta find your own way
Big dog from the 6, I'm talking Dogg like Nate
My shit be raw out the gate, I don't need another take
40 got house on the lake, I ain't know we had a lake
She complaining how I'm late, I ain't know it was a date
Niggas see me in person
First thing they say is, "I know you need a break."
Hell naw, I feel great, ready now, why wait?
Like a kiss from a rose I could be the one to seal your whole fate
So be careful what you think, think about what you gon' say
Gotta deal with people straight, I got my 23's laced
It's a marathon, not a sprint, but I still gotta win the race, yeah

And I'm convinced
I made sacrifices, I been balling ever since
We seeing so many blessings, shit don't make no sense
Someone watching over us, so shout goes out to Him
Yeah, I'm convinced
I made sacrifices, I been balling ever since
Yeah, I did some wrong, I had no choice in my defense
Someone watching over us, so shout goes out to—

2 Chainz, I'm a real one
Few shows, that's a mil run
When she bust it down
I said, "Thanks for giving to me," like a pilgrim
Cold world'll be chilling
Earmuffs on the children
Used to trap out the Hilton
Got wood on the Cartiers: that's a face full of splinters
Count a bankroll for dinner
This the wrong place to enter
Phone sex for breakfast, all kinda women text us
Met her at the Super Bowl
Told her I stayed down the street from Texas
A-Town, I stay down, yeah it's all in the wrist
This one here out the fence
Trap jumping like "tha Carter", mean it jumping like Vince
Moved on from the election
Introduced her to the plug
Can't believe they tried to take the connection
Ooh, girl, you a blessing, fine ass, be finessing
Yeah I love my fans but I don't wanna take pictures in the restroom
Drench God with the 6 God
Point guard and the two guard
"Pretty Girls Like Trap Music" so I woke up with my wood hard

And I'm convinced
I made sacrifices, I been balling ever since
We seeing so many blessings, shit don't make no sense
Someone watching over us, so shout goes out to Him
Yeah, I'm convinced
I made sacrifices, I been balling ever since
Yeah, I did some wrong, I had no choice in my defense
Someone watching over us, so shout goes out to—
