DJ Kool Herc - Sacrifice lyrics

[Hook: Substantial] Give It Up, Let it Go Keep it Moving, Move On Give It Up, Let it Go Keep it Moving, Move On Give It Up, Let it Go Keep it Moving, Move On Give It Up, Let it Go Keep it Moving, Move On [Verse 1: Substantial] I need a shower haven't slept in 30 hours And before I hit save my computer losses power But I'll do it over just to get a step closer To my dreams and get this boulder size chip off my shoulders I'm getting older trying to make it for my time pa** Wishing I could stick a cork in that hour gla** Jeopardizing my health to make my dollars stack Silently fronting while I'm wishing they would holla back I'm saying all of that better yet all of this Because you don't make these kind of sacrifices just to quit So I welcome pressure like I can't get enough of it Grit on all my doubters then I tell them all to s** a Dick Cheney… now we've moved to the Bush Commutes a little farther but there's music to push Life's a little harder but you use it or shush No time for excuses, cause this dude isn't pus! A survivor, dodged 2 shots one point blank Basically I'm everything that you toy's ain't A man does everything that a boy can't That's the way it's been since the tender age of 10 When I took my pop's seat at the head of the table Still sitting there just as head of my label Stayed strong for others when I barely was stable Found my true self getting buried in fables I sacrificed being hard for peace Though I know they both are apart of me That's what I tell the seeds when they talk to me Get my point across like crucifixes and archery Too long I've been selfless time to be selfish Collect my respect for the dues I've paid And revaluate all the moves I've made Questioning what's inside like its 2Pac grave [Hook: Substantial] Give It Up, Let it Go Keep it Moving, Move On Give It Up, Let it Go Keep it Moving, Move On Give It Up, Let it Go Keep it Moving, Move On Give It Up, Let it Go Keep it Moving, Move On [Verse 2: Substantial] Nothing in this life come easy ‘cept God given talent So when these hard times got a brother feeling violent I think about the sacrifices made That help me reach the point where I'm standing at today [Kool Herc] Kool Herc y'all I'm the elusive one The one you hear so much about See different pictures of me But never see the real picture of me You know I'm out here with my man Substantial, you know what I'm saying Sacrifice, man, I'm still making sacrifice right now You know, I'm just glad to be here man Peace [Outro: Substantial] Give It up Let it go Give it up Let it go
