Lyssa True Poet - Sacrifice (feat. Jarris Paris) Lyrics

If you only knew what I've sacrificed
Cop the pack, jack the price
Nothing about eviction nice
Said f*ck your script, wrote my own advice
Struggle real, take a toll on your life
Questioning everything twice
Feel my soul kidnapped
Call it spiritual heist
If you only knew what I've sacrificed
If you only knew what I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
If you only knew what I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed

Yeah, yo I am what I am like here I am
If you crawl on me I'm like here I stand
I got a pen in my hand I'm like a hero man
And an S on my chest in my hero stance
I got a bomb in my pants I'm about to count to ten
If you don't meet my demands
You about to meet your end
And everybody came to see a living sacrifice
Put your hands behind your back boy
Don't make me say it twice
Nappy heads and police, this the reason we beef
No homes and no heat, tell me where we going to sleep
Suicide bombers trying to pay they mamas rent
The clock runs out once that cash get sent

If you only knew what I've sacrificed
Cop the pack, jack the price
Nothing about eviction nice
Said f*ck your script, wrote my own advice
Struggle real, take a toll on your life
Questioning everything twice
Feel my soul kidnapped
Call it spiritual heist
If you only knew what I've sacrificed
If you only knew what I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
If you only knew what I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed

In the middle of an altercation, with myself
All I feel is this condemnation, of my mental health
They write me scripts for them pills
That will make endorphins rise
Reduce perception of pain, I don't take them
I just stay high off that Cali green
Allowing CBD's to intervene
All the stress and discomfort go unnoticed and unseen
I took a polygraph aced it
Reprogrammed my time and my placement
I wonder if I'm a sociopath or something adjacent
Swear I'm losing my patience
Made a vow to no more drug trade
Seen it grip my own DNA, they swear I'm mud made
I sacrificed my time spending seasons in a cell block
Gauges on my mind, cock it and leave them shell shocked

If you only knew what I've sacrificed
Cop the pack, jack the price
Nothing about eviction nice
Said f*ck your script, wrote my own advice
Struggle real take a toll on your life
Questioning everything twice
Feel my soul kidnapped
Call it spiritual heist
If you only knew what I've sacrificed
If you only knew what I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
If you only knew what I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed

Risked my health, my freedom
Put my life on the line
Russian roulette with that pistol
Will my brains blow this time
Risked my health, my freedom
Put my life on the line
Russian roulette with that pistol
Will my brains blow this time

If you only knew what I've sacrificed
If you only knew what I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
If you only knew what I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed
What I've sacrificed

If you only knew what I've sacrificed
Cop the pack, jack the price
Nothing about eviction nice
Said f*ck your script, wrote my own advice
Struggle real, take a toll on your life
Questioning everything twice
Feel my soul kidnapped
Call it spiritual heist
