Red On The Beat - Sacrifice lyrics

[Hook] Tomorrow, only tomorrow Sadio ambe tomorrow [Verse 1] My eyes redder than blood shots Nightmares of them gunshots I took my girl from the lone star To Memphis 10 on them cold blocks And what you think we moved for To see kids get k**ed in the school zone? To see crack get sold, bodies turned cold What you think, I think that's cool, bro? And why do you think I went to school for? To turn around and move back to the hood? Nah, boy, that's what it's called a sacrifice This is bigger than me, it's for a greater good I went to cape town, had a breakdown Mozambique seen a man face down Took blows to the head, boy it's cold out here So we're staying on the grind, no brakes, nah nah If this a gimmick then explain what's the incentive Been extorted, near deported for this faith I'm representing And when I started penning lyrics I wasn't thinking bout no cypher I was thinking about them addicts And them juvies and them lifers Well this is what the people lose they life for And what they give up all they rights for It ain't no church in the wild, huh? But tell me, who you think I write for? And I ain't tryin' to be self righteous But I write just so you'll think twice Folks wanna call this gospel rap Nah, homeboy, this is sacrifice [Hook] Tomorrow, only tomorrow Sadio ambe tomorrow [Verse 2] Some of these rapper's reputations should be in dispute Cause real recognize real And you do not compute Real is laying your life down Sacrifice for a worthy cause Not for a bunch of green paper stacks Overpriced clothes and shiny cars, no This is sacrifice, it's giving your own Even when they don't understand you You still answer your calling And when the world is falling and they back is turned You reach your hand out and pull them out that fiery furnace I learned that from the old heads You know the ones that never turned back Martin Luther King got shot for it That's priceless you can't earn that Then tell me what do you think he died for? A peace prize? A holiday? So I can rap a whole bunch of weak lines About how I'm a make my choppers spray? If Jesus really lived, then He really died Sacrificed Himself and rose before they very eyes And if I ain't really changed Then it's all a lie Why put my life on the line Mayne this ain't worth my time Cause it's been real When nobody knew us we been here Before the billboards and the Grammy awards It was Christ homeboy we been clear I ain't never been fake Got faith, if I lied to yo face May I die a disgrace Live for the truth that He died in my place Thank God for the sacrifice and His grace [Hook] Tomorrow, only tomorrow Sadio ambe tomorrow
