Sacrifice (feat. Nelly Furtado)

Listen, I got you phobic off of this like arachnids

Drastic, it ain't plastic, it's pro-blackness

Grown man tactics

No pediatrics

The kind of track

That make the come back miraculous

The catalyst

Thought with the knack for splashing

I'm dashing

I master the craft of mashing

The level headed fellow

Break the female's passion

Magnetic attraction

Be keepin' 'em askin'

To cruise in the Cadillac

With the Pendergrassin'

Swerve half naked

Won't come near crashing

But if I go to heaven

Would y'all know my name

Or would it be the same for you

Like I was Eric Clapton

Ha, clap for your freedom

Dawg, that's what's happenin'

My spit-take critical political action

The hustle is a puzzle

Each piece is a fraction

And every word that's understood

Is a transaction

I'm a SP soldier

Microphone holder

Rep Philly set from Bolivia to Boulder

Paris, France to Tip and Thai Yoga

How we gon' make it through the dark?

I'll show ya

I can show you all the lessons I've learned

If you wanna reach somethin' in life

You ain't gon' get it unless

You give a little bit of sacrifice and

Ooh, sometimes

Before you smile, you got to cry

You need to hide this feeling with music

If you use it you can fly

If you wanna be high

Listen, yo, kick off your shoes

Jump off the jack

I fly higher than the dudes

From off your block

My name black

The style is unorthodox

It tap tens of your mens

Who you thought could box

A couple people cop the style

But guess what?

My man grabbed the missile

Plucked for the gut

Now next time Petey

Stop being such a glut

I'm precise with it like

Fahim with haircuts

We up close on 'em with toast

But no crust

It's fructose on 'em they froze and won't bust

It's yolk on your face

Your jewels is lackluster

Gotta put it to you straight

Y'all fools is jacked up

Came close to the utmost

But no cigar

Nose to the grindstone

Head to the stars

The number one runner

With the number one drummer

Grammy award winnin'

It's the world's eighth wonder

Come on

I can show you all the lessons I've learned

If you wanna reach somethin' in life

You ain't gon' get it unless

You give a little bit of sacrifice and

Ooh, sometimes

Before you smile, you got to cry

You need to hide this feeling with music

If you use it you can fly

If you wanna be high

Yo, your first impression might be I'm an asshole

Or say I'm sometime and give people a hassle

I try to sun touch

And put the heat in the capsule

Dawg, I'm far deeper than that though

I get in the zone

Recognize I'm a rolling stone

No time to lollygag

Or lounge with scallywags

Gimme the disco

I'll put it where yo body at

Old school spit flow

Laid over Charlie tracks

With no apology

For all the trick-nology

Just trust what I see

And I say, follow me my way

I be the open book, look inside me

The star of the story

That the groove teller  got me

Through all the dark times

It's part of the business

The light be contingent

On small forensics

My microphone'd make a man

A new born infant

It's true so the truth gon' sense it

I get in the zone

I can show you all the lessons I've learned

If you wanna reach somethin' in life

You ain't gon' get it unless

You give a little bit of sacrifice and

Ooh, sometimes

Before you smile, you got to cry

You need to hide this feeling with music

If you use it you can fly

If you wanna be high

Show you one lesson I've learned

If you wanna reach somethin' in life

You ain't gon' get it unless

You give a little bit of sacrifice and

Ooh, sometimes

Before you smile, you got to cry

You need to hide this feeling with music

If you use it you can fly

If you wanna be high

Show you one lesson I've learned

If you wanna reach somethin' in life

You ain't gon' get it unless

You give a little bit of sacrifice and

Ooh, sometimes

Before you smile, you got to cry

You need to  hide this feeling with music

If you use it you can fly

If you wanna be high
