J Dilla - Sacrifice lyrics

Verse 1: Napoleon Da Legend "How I'm a get it" mentality that my mama gave me The devil busy trynna shake me with the drama lately Bills with no job relying on these rhymes to pay me Society trynna marginalize and modulate me Trying to h*mogenize me word to Ronald Isley I'm the mind of a Dalai Lama mixed with Mohamed Ali You can't compare a Maserati to a Subaru A 1000 times down the turnpike the one in New Jeru Tolls and gas money Po is a crash dummy Speeding straight into a wall my life flashed in front of me Floor swept from under me riffing off was written off downhill Cruising on neutral with the ignition off No plan B or no seat belt no sleep felt insomnia for weeks health Declining my speech melted the monitor Extreme not a moderate I feel as if I'm stuck in a dream and can't get out of it Suffocating in the moment and it's claustrophobic Hustle aerobics what I feel inside my gut is hopeless Immobile if I can't move how can I become a mogul And how much more Can my soul body and mind go through? But like Goku growing much stronger from every battle Flabbergasted still spitting head inside a la**o Never bashful when it comes from me it's masterful Leave casualties I got the faculty to clap at you Scratch that actually I'm showing gratitude For my mama not giving birth to an average dude Chorus: Napoleon Da Legend Been on a mission ever since the legend stepped in This world invested in these bars I repped and I served Gave y'all my best work trying to get all I deserved Increased my net worth from the way I peddle the words A rebel upping this level never settle for less and I'll never stop until you mentioning my name with the best The greatest in the flesh put haters to rest gave em the business 'Member I'm one of the best ever did it, Trust! Verse 2: Napoleon Da Legend Bar bulimic not hard to believe it I'm marching like I'm Jesus Inside the garden of Eden within I harbor demons Carpe diem carbon copies wanna be him My sneakers scuffed up and still the shoes you wanna be in Built a mausoleum for Zombies who tried to see him Mind of a Liam in Taken I nonchalantly G'em Nothing but trickery the sh** they try to spit to me We don't agree so let's agree to disagree You at a lesser degree I grow aggressively Your indirects is weak shooting blanks hysterectomy Let me be direct they should direct their checks to me My rep grows exponential check out my trajectory Matter of fact you don't deserve to stand next to me You could never understand my life and its complexities Started from nothing and my rise was incredible Chip on my shoulder my sacrifice unforgettable Chorus: Napoleon Da Legend Been on a mission ever since the legend stepped in This world invested in these bars I repped and I served Gave y'all my best work trying to get all I deserved Increased my net worth from the way I peddle the words A rebel upping this level never settle for less and I'll never stop until you mentioning my name with the best The greatest in the flesh put haters to rest gave em the business 'Member I'm one of the best ever did it, Trust!
