The Sacrifice by M.I Abaga Lyrics
I promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth
Finito
[Hook: M.I Abaga & Nawe]
If you love something let it go, I know
It's just that I have carried many loads for you
(I've loved you like I've never loved anyone before)
I don’t wanna hold you back so just go
I'll be ok on my own
(I guess that's just my sacrifice)
[Verse 1: M.I Abaga]
Yeah I loved you more than I loved myself
Loved you more than the love that I had for anything else
Why you choose me just to use me
I'm out here acting like it doesn't move me when God damn
I've been loyal, been loyal to you
Went through fire and trials for you
Imma pick the pieces and fix up, recoup(Treason my Nigga)
This is treason you've made me a fool
[Hook: M.I Abaga & Nawe]
If you love someone let em go, I know
It's just that I have travelled many roads for you
(I've loved you like I've never loved anyone before)
I'll be ok when you leaving
Don't you worry bout me
(I guess that's just my sacrifice)
[Verse 2: M.I Abaga]
I wonder how you sleep at night
After all I sacrificed for you
Shey He's gonna treat you right
All I had my Widow's mite, I gave to you
Ok it was more than fucking, We were besties
Kai you taught me something, you be university Yeah
MMM this your love see investing chai
Very soon you gon see that I was the best thing
The best thing(Uh I was the best thing that ever happened in your life)
But God dey for me nothing harm me
Aye Aye sipping wine, sitting calmly
Aye Aye with all my people wey dey for me
Be like say I get Army(Yeah yeah yeah)
I'll be good on my own
Only one thing
When you fall don't come back to me
Yeah
[Hook: M.I Abaga & Nawe]
If you love someone let em go, I know
It's the hardest thing to do(Yeah Yeah)
(I've loved you like I've never loved anyone before)
Bridges burned, lessons learned yeah yeah
Don't worry bout me I'll be cool
(I guess that's just my sacrifice)
[Outro: Nawe]
So one thing that I have admired about you and your entire journey as an artiste and when I think about the fact that you were in Jos, you left Jos went to Lagos and you carried your community with you like you didn't go there and get famous uhhmm you know and just forget about everyone, you took everyone with you and there is so much honour in that and if you haven't heard it from anyone I'm telling you that for those of us that knew the journey before you, from where you started to where you are now like I have so much respect for you for that. The fact that you took the people with you, you could have left them behind
