SmooveDonn - Sacrifices (feat. Jon Kabongo) Lyrics

If I said it's like that then its really like that
If I said it's like that then its really like that
If I said it's like that then its really like that
If I said it's like that then its really like that
I put in too much work to let y'all see me live a average life
Sleep I done sacrificed, friends I done left alone
Was taught to play my hand when niggas quick to hit the deck and fold
Rock solid, dealt with the pressure by building stepping stones
Right foot elevated, my left I just prep it up
If you ain't notice, each step I take I just level up
Why would I even come this far just to let myself mess it up
It's too much pain invested into my craft, I can't settle up
My stock rising, money only stop when I stop signing
These dotted lines that keep coming around like it's clockwise
Niggas who used to rap in my city, I cannot find them
But once upon a time, they was in everyone's top 5
That's DMV rap in a nutshell
Who want hell, I'm giving out the smoke to anybody that's ready
I usually keep it humble for the ones who personally met me
But this for niggas throwing stones that's trying to hurt me or threat me
I ain't get this far by accident
I had to sit in traffic just to end up where I have to get
And I ain't even there yet
They say at new levels, new devils, I ain't get scared yet
I'm fighting demons but looking for more to scare next
Matter of fact, bring them all
I'ma get rich or die trying
Came in with my eyes wide, I ain't sleep at all
It's funny how we made all these big moves when the team this small
This movie getting scary, somebody call up Regina Hall
If I said it's like that, then it's really like that
Less excuses, more sacrifices
If I said it's like that, then it's really like that
Less excuses, more
I know I'm overqualified, medically disqualified
After year one, but I ain't done, I had to fall to rise
They looking at my Spotify views like, oh, he's not the guy
They ask me why I even try, I'ma spit until I die
Yeah, in my position, they would've gave up on division
Like dropping 85 and Daniel from the coalition
A firm believer by October, I'll be out this prison
If it don't happen, then I might just have to pay tuition
In mint condition, deserving of some recognition
When you ain't shooting at an opp, it's hard to rap for millions
The kid is driven, buckled for this expedition
Rocky world won't sell my soul when they make propositions
Brought up by Christians, but crossing me the wrong decision
I resurrected from that grave, I got a job to finish
I'm ready for the classy table or the dirty kitchen
Either way, I'm here to work, no matter the conditions
If I said it's like that, then it's really like that
If I said it's like that, then it's really like that
If I said it's like that, then it's really like that
Less excuses, more sacrifices
If I said it's like that, then it's really like that
Less excuses, more sacrifices
