It's what I do when I make it
On my way to destinations
Wakin' up another day
To laugh at danger in the face
In the grass I see the snakes
On my prowl the snake my prey
Do me wrong you better pray
That you won't come across my way
And they go one side
2 sides
3 sides
Switchin' up on me
I thought you were there for me
In my one life
You left me like
I would always wait for you
But I'm movin' on without you
Take my pain and make a masterpiece
Put it on my mantelpiece
And when I'm finished with it
I make another to fill it
The color express my feelin'
The outcome is how I'm healin'
One step closer to my dreams I'm fulfillin'
In the scene I meet the villain
I just put my cape on
Mask off face shown
I'm ready to take on
Situations elevating
This patience run out of waiting
In this room
I go crazy
Like a straight jacket made me

It's that sacrifice
That sacrifice
When you gotta stay up late
And wake up early the next day
You make that sacrifice
That sacrifice
No more money for your food so you do what you gotta do
To make that sacrifice

I'm sacrificin' my energy
I sacrifice my time
I could be the sacrifice for the ones I love
Who deserve a better life
I look around and see that we need change
Not only currency form but humane
Politics picking apart
People from their apartments
And wallets go empty
Rich pockets keep growin'
The system fails to acknowledge its broken
There's too many wounds that need closin'
Too many doors that won't open
We need more room for the homeless
Children need places to focus
No need for doses
You need to notice
The influence unto the Youth is important
So bring on the Glory of Love
Bring on the Glory of Light
Bring on respect for the Women and stories of courage
And times that have tested your might
You didn't think you would make through the night but you did
Came a long way since a kid
Tell us the ways that you lived
Things that you did
What did you learn?
How did you feel?
This is the sacrifice to keep it real
Said this is the sacrifice to keep it real
'Cause

It's that sacrifice
That sacrifice
When you gotta stay up late
And wake up early the next day
You make that sacrifice
That sacrifice
No more money for your food so you do what you gotta do
To make that sacrifice
That sacrifice
On the floor no bed
And no pillow for your head
You make that sacrifice
That sacrifice
When you're pushing through the day
Even when you're not okay
You make that sacrifice
