Sacrifice
G Herbo Lyrics

I made all the sacrifice
I've given up a lot for this lifestyle

I wasn't lyin' in some nights
There were nights when I had to face dangerous situations

Really had to risk my life
I put my life on the line

I went down the wrong road
I made bad choices

Sorry ma, but this my life
I know it may disappoint my mom, but this is the life I chose

I went bought my own pole
I purchased my own firearm

You already know what I'm on, blow
You already know my intentions, I'm ready to take action

I had to walk to school with it
I had to carry my weapon on the way to school for protection

I couldn't tote no long nose
I couldn't carry a bigger firearm

Runnin' from the police grippin'
I was running away from the police while holding my weapon

Probably thought it was my phone though
They probably mistook my weapon for a phone

Never panicked, I didn't get it
I never panicked, I understood the situation

Nigga I seen a hundred killings
I've witnessed numerous acts of violence

We ain't never go by schools or children
We never targeted schools or innocent children

Cap' died, I'm like fuck it, get him
When Cap died, I didn't hesitate to seek revenge

Way before rap I was real, no limit
Even before my music career, I was always authentic and fearless

Fuckin' hoes who I can't trust a nigga
I engage in sexual relationships with women whom I can't fully trust

Trust big cuz, gotta watch my brother though
I trust my close family members, but I still need to be cautious

Know he came up off everything cutthroat
I know my brother achieved success through ruthless tactics

Matter fact I ain't gon' say nothin' else
In fact, I won't say anything else

Heard it turned out bad, left for bread, ho
I heard things took a bad turn, so I left to prioritize my own financial gain

Know I got everything under my belt
I have accomplished a lot in my life

Tote a lil' .40 Glock, that's for my health
I carry a small .40 Glock pistol for self-defense

Remember it was just me and Max on the block
I remember a time when it was just me and Max on the street corner

Packs came in, put thrax on the block
When drugs arrived, we distributed them and made profit

Overcharge niggas, get a tax on the block
We would raise the prices and collect extra money from customers on the block

First nigga with a hundred racks on the block
I was the first to have a hundred thousand dollars on the block

Could pop out without my fuckin' Glock on rock
I used to go out without my Glock pistol visibly displayed

Don't lie, it ain't one up top
Don't lie, there isn't anyone as respected or feared as me

I remember them nights up top
I remember the dangerous nights I spent in the neighborhood

You gon' die, they one up top
If you mess with us, you will face deadly consequences

It was like 4AM on the morning of August 10th
The specific date and time were August 10th at around 4 AM

We was on the block shootin' dice, yeah, that was when Kobe went
We were gambling on the street when we received the news of Kobe Bryant's passing

I ain't never know you walked off 'fore those shots was lit
I didn't realize you left before the gunshots occurred

Cairo called your name out, he was on top of it
Cairo noticed when you were absent and called your name, showing he was paying attention

You already know how we rockin', bitch, still on top of shit
You already know our lifestyle and how we operate, we're still in control

Ziploc and shit, fifth shot, he hit
We keep our drugs in Ziploc bags, and when the fifth shot was fired, it hit its target

If this rock, we Diddy
If this situation escalates, we're ready to take action like P. Diddy

I ain't tryna talk, we with it (fuck 'em)
I don't want to engage in conversation, we're ready for action

Hundred shots chops, keep a fifty
We have an arsenal of firearms with a hundred rounds, and we always carry a .50 caliber weapon

We don't got an opp, he finished (motherfucker)
We don't have any enemies left, we've taken care of them

Wake up in Sicily, on it and sit on, open my mouth like a dentist
I wake up in Sicily, using drugs and maintaining my powerful image, showing off like a dentist

They just ridin' and ridin' around all night 'cause I told 'em to hop on that business
They're driving around all night because I instructed them to be involved in criminal activities

So used to get high outside all night, just tryna mind our business
We used to get high outdoors all night, just trying to stay out of trouble

We get caught doin' this shit, gon' get a life sentence
If we get caught doing these illegal activities, we'll receive a lengthy prison sentence

Bitch, my heart cold, and my ice glisten
My heart is cold, and my jewelry is sparkly and shiny

My bitch tell me I'm too high and I'm just like, 'Listen'
My partner tells me I'm too intoxicated, but I brush off her concerns

Gotta stay high 'cause I think too much, I get to trippin'
I have to stay high because when I overthink, I become paranoid

Gotta stay high 'cause I blink too much, I get blankin'
I have to stay high because when I blink too often, my mind starts to wander

'Bout a hundred million, when I get a visit
When I receive a visit, it's usually about financial matters involving a hundred million dollars

I can't let no nigga trick me through no Twitter mention
I won't allow anyone to deceive me or manipulate me through a mention on Twitter

Gotta leave the hood right now or you gon' be a statistic
You must leave the dangerous neighborhood immediately, otherwise, you'll end up as a crime statistic

Gotta leave the streets right now, like that's a big decision
You have to abandon the criminal lifestyle immediately, as if it were a significant decision

I make rich decisions
I consistently make choices that benefit my financial status

Graduated in the streets I'm trappin', call that payin' tuiton
I gained my education through street life and drug dealing, considering it as paying tuition

And on Capo, whatever I'm worth, my niggas seein' it with me
And I swear on my deceased friend Capo, my comrades witness the value I bring

I need a hundred-fifty
I require one hundred and fifty thousand dollars

I made sacrifices for niggas who really wasn't even with me
I gave up a lot for people who weren't truly loyal or supportive of me

That's why I ain't friendly, is you really with me?
That's why I'm not friendly, I only associate with those who are truly on my side

'Cause I feel the envy, and this bitch a semi
Because I sense the jealousy and I carry a semi-automatic weapon

And I keep it with me, like this bitch a Jimmy
And I always have it with me, as if my gun is a close companion

Told 'em, 'Bow down, nigga,' I'm sittin' here, this bitch a hemi
I told them to show respect, because I'm standing tall and powerful like a Hemi car engine

For Big Red and Slim, left and right hand pour out Remy, Henny
In honor of my deceased friends, Big Red and Slim, I pour out Remy Martin and Hennessy on their behalf

And this Draco a mini, I know you heard about Kenny
And this Draco firearm is a compact version, I know you've heard about Kenny

I know you heard about Benny, nigga, I ain't heard about any
I know you've heard about Benny, but I haven't heard about any other people

Benz, bread, get niggas dead, shit I done did for plenty
Having expensive cars and money can lead to deadly encounters, that's what I've experienced countless times

I just hate that all my real niggas dead, now I got my bread up
I'm frustrated that all my loyal friends are deceased, but at least I've achieved financial success

I'm in the racks so every day I still gotta keep my head up
Even though I have wealth, I have to remain alert and cautious

In my boxers, finger cloth my tips and load the lead up
I'm casually dressed in my underwear, cleaning my gun and preparing ammunition

Say you gangbang, pussy nigga, what you scared for?
You claim to be involved in gang activities, but why are you acting scared?

Slept in traphouses 'fore I got rich, filled up with bedbugs
I used to sleep in drug houses before I became wealthy, they were infested with bedbugs

Slept in halls in 78th, that's just because my mans was
I slept in the hallways of a building in 78th street because that's where my friends were

For my dawgs, I done did it all, back against the wall
I've done everything for my close friends, even when I faced adversity

What you needed? It was just a call, I wasn't rich at all
Whatever you needed, you could just call me, even when I wasn't wealthy

Same niggas since day one, they still with me, ain't switch at all
I've had the same friends since the beginning, they've stayed loyal and haven't changed

Suck a dick, I told them people question me, can't snitch at all
I told those who doubted me to go away, I won't give in to their interrogations

And these street niggas make the rules, now they switched the law
These individuals from the streets make their own rules, now they've manipulated the legal system

Can't respect 'em without no capacity, a bitch involved
I can't respect them if they lack credibility and are easily influenced by women

And I'm still with my dawgs, and we duckin', ditchin' laws
I'm still with my friends, evading the law and avoiding trouble

We already beat this shit, nigga, we just tryna stay rich, that's all
We've already overcome many challenges, now we're just focused on maintaining wealth

We already beat this shit, nigga, we just tryna stay rich, that's all
We've already overcome many challenges, now we're just focused on maintaining wealth

That's all, uh
That's all I have to say

Yeah
Affirmative, that's correct

Street niggas with me, you know
I have loyal individuals from the streets with me, you're aware of that

Gang shit only, man
We're only involved in gang-related activities, man

You know we bringing the stu' out
You know we're bringing the studio and our crew to various locations

Right next to the buttons and all that other shit
Right next to the control buttons and other equipment

It's ganged out
We're fully representing our gang

Southside on the track, yeah
This song features production from Southside
