Sacrifices Songtext
von Drake

Wrote this shit, January ′21
Baby girl, I had to run, I'll be back a couple months
Kendall turned 21, was up the street with 21
They could see me online, but they won′t see me on the ones
I got Dubai plates in the California state
I got her waitin' at my place, I got no baby on the way
I'm talkin′ Baby like Stunna, I′m talkin' Baby like Face
Lost millions in the past, I′m talkin' maybe like eight
Couple niggas from the city, wishin′ on a star, could they be like Drake
Sorry, no, not today, you gotta find your own way


Big dog from the six, I'm talkin′ Dogg like Nate
My shit be raw out the gate, I don't need another take
40 got house on the lake, I ain't know we had a lake
She complainin′ how I′m late, I ain't know it was a date
Niggas see me in person, first thing they say is, "I know you need a break"
Hell naw, I feel great, ready now, why wait?
Like a kiss from a rose, I could be the one to seal your whole fate
So be careful what you think, think about what you gon′ say
Gotta deal with people straight, I got my 23's laced
It′s a marathon, not a sprint, but I still gotta win the race, yeah

And I'm convinced
I made sacrifices, I been ballin′ ever since
We seein' so many blessings, shit don't make no sense
Someone watchin′ over us, so shout goes out to Him

Yeah, I′m convinced
I made sacrifices, I been ballin' ever since
Yeah, I did some wrong, I had no choice in my defense
Someone watchin′ over us, so shout goes out to

2 Chainz, I'm a real one, few shows, that′s a mill run
When she bust it down I said, "Thanks for givin' to me," like a pilgrim
Cold world′ll be chillin', earmuffs on the children
Used to trap out the Hilton
Got wood on the Cartiers, that's a face full of splinters
Count a bankroll for dinner, this the wrong place to enter


Phone sex, yeah, for breakfast, all kinda women text us
Met her at the Super Bowl, told her I stayed down the street from Texas (woo)
A-Town, I stay down, yeah, it′s all in the wrist
This one here out the fence, trap jumpin′ like "tha Carter"
Mean it jumpin' like Vince, moved on from the election
Introduced her to the plug, can′t believe they tried to take the connection

Ooh, girl, you a blessin', fine ass, be finessin′
Yeah, I love my fans, but I don't wanna take pictures in the restroom
Drench God with the 6 God, point guard and the two guard
"Pretty Girls Like Trap Music", so I woke up with my wood hard

And I′m convinced
I made sacrifices, I been ballin' ever since
We seein' so many blessings, shit don′t make no sense
Someone watchin′ over us, so shout goes out to Him

Yeah, I'm convinced
I made sacrifices, I been ballin′ ever since
Yeah, I did some wrong, I had no choice in my defense
Someone watchin' over us, so shout goes out to

I was stealin′ from a bitch (slime), back when I was 21 (facts)
My favorite gun was a SIG (nine), 20 in the clip, head one (no cockin')
Growin′ up, I was a running back, you never made me ran once (goddamn)
I got shot, sweat started runnin', that shit was red like Hunt (ketchup)

I'm kickin′, pimpin′ like I punt (beat it), but don't you think shit′s sweet?
I'm talkin′ sweet, deer meat (ooh), I'm talkin′ suite like he sleep (like he sleep)
We ain't doin' too much talkin′ (nah), I′m talmbout talkin' like a speech (election)
Like the President, I kill ′em neat (scammers), I'm talkin′ neat like freak

I'm talkin′ neat like fleek, I'm talkin' neat like a geek (yeah!)
You come with beef, I eat a B, I′m talkin′ B's, spellin′ bee (sheesh)
Double R, that's a Rolls, paint it yellow like it′s dairy
I'm talkin′ Rose like Derrick, I'm talkin' rolls like a belly (woo)

Like a new car, I got two keys
Tryna score the bucket like a Chevy seat (Chevy seat)
Then I heard they been pullin′ all week (all week)
I′ma use your name like, "Who is he?"
You get it? Ha-ha!
I said I'ma use a name like, "Who is he?"
Got some gold on, leprechaun, sheesh
Deep sleep short for deceased

Big bezel on the Patty (woo), I′m talkin' PADI, I meant Patek
Don′t try to take it, I got guns, I'm talkin′ guns, not pellets (pellet)
I watch the game from the floor (floor seats), I'm talkin' wood, first mattress
I′m talkin′ wood, pants down (pants down), I'm talkin′ woods like them clowns (you get it?)

I got my mink off a monkey, I'm talkin′ monkey like Jumanji (hrr)
All your diamonds partly sunny, I'm talkin′ sunny like D, Sunny (Sunny Delight)
My diamonds wet, it cost me money, I'm talkin' wet like it′s runnin′ (sink)
I'm talkin′ wet like Katrina (New Orleans), I'm talkin′ wet like Dasani, huh

And I'm convinced
I made sacrifices, I been ballin′ ever since
We seein' so many blessings, shit don't make no sense
Someone watchin′ over us, so shout goes out to Him

Yeah, I′m convinced
I made sacrifices, I been ballin' ever since
Yeah, I did some wrong, I had no choice in my defense
Someone watchin′ over us, so shout goes out to
