lyrics

A load of questions got me up at night:
Like how much do I have to sacrifice?
My sanity, pennies, a shot at a normal life?
Fuck that, I've never been normal, right?
Go cold and sell my soul for all the ice?
For more possessions than a poltergeist?
And tell every girl that I love her so I don't have to go to sleep alone every night?
On top of that, I've been out here sparing feelings my whole life because I'm too fucking nice. Everyone's shoulder to cry and lean on, knowing I'm the one that needs advice.
How do i regain the patience I never had till the throne is in my hand?
How do I tell myself that it's all worth it if it don't result in some bands?
Not enamored by the clout chase. There's enough cheese in the rat race. Standing right by the ideal: If i spit the real I'll be something they can't replace.
Going bananas to build up appeal. Fuck how you feel, got no time to waste. To make an empire before I expire, man, it's all about the pace.
Owe it to my mama not to flake. Owe it to myself to see it through.
Owe it to my father to go farther. Show him it was always possible.
Full potential gotta be the focus. They matador; I'm not about the bull.
Ever closer to a magnum opus: A Symphony of The Unstoppable!

Sacrifice
In it to live it up, not survive.
Giving up only way we can die.
Ain't clipping no wings, we're born to fly (Yea)
Sacrifice, ain't swerving no pain if you down to ride.
Feeding off of your love, (I'm) energized.
Ain't perfect but worth every second live (Yea)[x2]

I been down & out, underestimated more than I can count.
Hated on myself, drowning in my doubt. Didn't pray for greatness, had to make a route (Yea).
To this day, i can't follow script. Every 24 gift. Pray my words uplift you in your pursuit of happiness.
No matter where you are enjoy the path. It could all be over in a flash.
Don't pick and choose when to be real or we'll catch you capping like the NBA draft. Mastered the backslide, next switch gotta be electric.
Take the game by landslide, my true colors, no set trip.
Knife in hand, born to make a killing. Wouldn't remix this life for a billion.
Pure insight you're only given when the pain outweighs your good decisions. Back on road, needed gear shifting.
Bout my paper like I work at Dunder Mifflin.
Still got faith in seeing freedom, even if I'm losing my religion.
Got angels watching me from all angles, so no Mutumbo's can block my vision. Don't care about diamonds in the pendant.
Only gold I want is for my records hitting.
Rather live outstanding than die forgotten. Long as my fans are never sitting.
Racing my demons to break even: I predict a photo finish!

Sacrifice
In it to live it up, not survive.
Giving up only way we can die.
Ain't clipping no wings, we're born to fly (Yea)
Sacrifice, ain't swerving no pain if you down to ride.
Feeding off of your love, (I'm) energized.[x2]
Ain't perfect but worth every second live (Yea)
