Sacrifice
Trik Turner Lyrics

From day to day I know that I'm in all of your conversations
I am aware that I am the subject of your discussions every day

You never have anything good to say about me
You always say negative things about me

That's ok cause everyone's entitled to their own opinions
That is acceptable as everyone has the right to hold their own opinions

'Cause everyone's a critic, and even on your best days
Since everyone is a critic and will find fault even on your best days

Someone's got something bad to say
Someone will always have negative comments

Yet I ignore the things I hear, ignore the things I fear
However, I choose to disregard what I hear and my fears

And look past all that tries to bring me down
I try to look beyond all the factors that try to demotivate me

And I know that I don't have much I
I am aware that I don't have many resources

Sacrifice a good life while I watch these bills keep adding
I must give up my comfort while continuous bills and expenses mount up

Up and I know that I'm not getting any younger as another
I realize I am getting older as another

Year passes by
year elapses

I have to stop and wonder
I often ponder

If it's all really worth the struggle
If the efforts and challenges are actually worth it

Or that mirage of light I keep chasing at the end of the tunnel
Or if the goal I am striving towards is real or just a fantasy

Will get any brighter
Will become more attainable or not

Or will it just fade away the closer I get, the further it seems
Or if it will become even more distant as I get closer to it

From reaching my dreams
From achieving what I aspire for

And I just don't know how much more I can
I am not sure how long I can

Take before I give up and throw it all away
Endure before I quit and abandon everything

When push comes to shove
When faced with challenges

You gotta hold on , you gotta be strong
Cope and persevere

And look for that light from above
Seek guidance from a higher power/authority

Cause everyone's out to bring you down
As everyone attempts to demoralize you

And if you can't keep your head up
If one loses confidence

Then your lost
One will become lost

I've seen better days been told better ways
I have experienced better circumstances and advised on better practices

How to live and how to give, it's relative
How to exist and offer is subjective

I walk with sedatives it's hell I live
I depend on calming medication while living a painful life

And home is sweet, I'm killing myself softly
I find solace in my abode but simultaneously worsening my condition

My reflections show deep infections
My analysis reveals profound afflictions

It's hard to be, I look at myself, I look at this life
It's complex to exist, I scrutinize my actions and existence

And all I feel is pain, god help me start again
And I can only sense discomfort, hoping God gives me another chance

I gotta keep on, I gotta keep on pushin' cause I
I must persevere, keep pressing on

Some how some way keep comin' up short
I constantly fail on some level

Like everyday my minds playin' tricks on me
As my brain is tormenting me every day

Everybody loves sunny days but I prefer
Majority enjoys bright days, however, I gravitate towards

Grey ones and long nights because when the
Dark days and long nights as

Day comes, it's just another 24 and I'm still numb
When morning arrives, it's just another regular day, and I am still unaffected

Not so young I know what it takes, they say
I am not very young, and I acknowledge the essentials

Roll with the brakes and slip them ties with the fakes
Take control of the brakes and eliminate connections with counterfeit people

I still get them shakes just thinkin' bout this
I still experience jitters thinking about this matter

Ish right here two dub two maybe this gonna be
This two-thousand-two may be the year

That year
The year where things turn out great or not

Everyone has to pay a price no matter what we sacrifice
Success requires a sacrifice from everyone

I hope it's worth it nothing is for certain
I hope the efforts will be fruitful but nothing is guaranteed
