SACRIFICE Lyrics – CHRIS RAIN

[Verse 1]
Laying by myself it’s a private show
I’m living for myself what I’ve always done
Words won’t hurt at last
I’ve been cut and numb
I come from the ashes and dirt you know
You think I’m broke but you don’t know the months
I worked to buy me some new clothes
You think I’m spoiled and that I didn’t give it all to live the life I chose

[Chorus]
And the outside world had me by the throat
But now I’m planning on some shows
Yeah I’m doing good but you shouldn’t know
I’ll sacrifice
Not one tear from my red eye
You’re so pretentious I won’t lie
But one more time I’ll fall in line
One more time I’ll fall

[Verse 2]
And I’ll be replaced for the last time
So cut to the chase and give me what’s mine
I dream of the states but I’ve been cursed I
I’m counting the days ’til I come by
And I’ll come by safe in a rainy day
Scars on my lip and I thinking straight
I do what’s good not what always pays
This one makes me proud of my real name

[Chorus]
And the outside world had me by the throat
But now I’m planning on some shows
Yeah I’m doing good but you shouldn’t know

I’ll sacrifice
Not one tear from my red eye
You’re so pretentious I won’t lie
But one more time I’ll fall in line
One more time I’ll fall

[Verse 1]
“Laying by myself, I find solace in solitude, living authentically despite past wounds. Rising from hardship, I’m misunderstood; my struggles unseen. Others perceive me as privileged, ignorant of the sacrifices made to carve my path. Despite judgments, I’ve toiled in silence, building my identity. My worth isn’t defined by material possessions but by the resilience to pursue my chosen destiny.”

[Chorus]
“Once controlled by external pressures, I now assert my independence by pursuing my ambitions. Though outwardly successful, my inner struggles remain hidden. Despite enduring hardships, I refuse to show weakness, confronting pretentious attitudes with resilience. Even if I stumble again, I’ll continue to persevere, steadfast in my journey towards self-realization.”

[Verse 2]
“I face inevitable replacement, urging others to cease delaying and grant what I rightfully deserve. Despite longing for success in distant places, I’m hindered by unseen obstacles. Anticipating my arrival, I navigate through adversity, bearing scars as badges of resilience. My choices prioritize integrity over mere profit, a testament to the pride I hold in my true identity.”

[Chorus]
The outside world once suffocated me with its expectations, but now I’m taking charge, preparing for my own journey. Despite outward appearances of success, I bear burdens silently. Refusing to succumb to pressure, I’ll make sacrifices without shedding a tear, navigating through pretentiousness with resilience. Even if I stumble again, I’ll persevere, staying true to myself amidst external pressures.
