Thats A Sacrifice by UC Brigante Lyrics
[Intro x2]
I wanna be an entrepernur some day
I wanna make a million dollars in a million ways
Then I wanna go back get my brothers out the hood
I make sure my family eating good
[Verse 1]
10 whole years my pops unemployed
Momma working in a house full of boys
I grew up in Narwee, close to poverty
Place we lived so small I could barley breathe
Mum and dad fighting all the time, babies crying
I was dying, wishing they got a divorced
I'm sorry, its only now I realize love is war
Don't ask me bout my past cause it hurts mayn
It was bad and then it got worse mayn
Grandma got ill, can't deal, left school and did it from home
Just so she can feel like she ain't never alone
Started hanging with boys that was older
The little soldier needed closure
A walking contradiction
Running with killers and drug dealers
And saw no problem with it
We both did lines but mine rhymed
The good kid, the one that tried
To make em change their lives and why?
Cause..
[Chorus x2]
That's a sacrifice
My whole life I done sacrificed
I payed the price just to sacrifice
I feel like Christ when he sacrificed
[Verse 2]
Started off with good intentions
This the product of growing up neglecting affection
No form of direction, plus I ain't mention
We was broke as hell no food in the kitchen
I was never home damn I miss my brothers
I see the pain in his eyes look just like my mothers
Thank god I'm still untouched, I ain't sip one cup
Or took one drug or one drag or one puff
Despite me being able, it was there on the table
I used to hold guns and pretend I could pop and bang ya
One of the boys said if you want to kill grab a shanker
Cause thats more gangster, I'm from the area
It ain't all peaches and cream, beaches and scenery's in Australia
I stay silent through the violence
My music reaches kids that need guidance
I don't do it for yall so before you get critical
Know I'm trying to help the youth before they turn into criminals
[Chorus x2]
That's a sacrifice
My whole life I done sacrificed
I payed the price just to sacrifice
I feel like Christ when he sacrificed
[Outro x2]
You don't know about them nights that I sacrificed
All the boys on the block yeah they sacrificed
And if you wanna live right you gotta sacrifice
Lord knows we done sacrificed
I wanna be an entrepernur some day
I wanna make a million dollars in a million ways
Then I wanna go back get my brothers out the hood
I make sure my family eating good
[Verse 1]
10 whole years my pops unemployed
Momma working in a house full of boys
I grew up in Narwee, close to poverty
Place we lived so small I could barley breathe
Mum and dad fighting all the time, babies crying

Don't ask me bout my past cause it hurts mayn
