Sacrifice Lyrics - Nelly Furtado

Listen, I got you phobic offa this like arachnids 

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

Grown man tactics no pediatrics 

The kind of track that make the comeback miraculous 

The catalyst. Thought with the knack of splashin' 

I'm dashin', I mastered the craft of mashin' 

The level-headed thoroughbred the females passion 

Magnetic attraction be keeping em askin' 

The crews in the Cadillac, the Pendergrassin' 

Swerve half-naked won't come near crashin' 

But if I go to Heaven would ya'll know my name 

Or would it be the same for you like I was Eric Clapton, huh? 

Clap for your freedom dog, 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 an S.P. 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. 

Tell you one lesson I've learned 

If you want to reach something in life 

You ain't gonna get it unless 

You give a little bit of sacrifice 

Ooh sometimes before you smile you got to cry 

You need a heart that's filled with music 

If you use it you can fly 

Listen, 

If you want to be high 

Yo kick off ya shoes, jump off the jock 

I fly higher than them dudes from off ya block 

My name Black, the style is unorthodox 

It tap chins wit ya men's who you thought could box 

A couple people wanted thought to stop 

But guess what? 

My man grab the missile, plug for the gut 

Now next time greedy stop being such a glut 

I'm precise with it like Faheim with haircuts 

We up close on 'em with toast but no crust 

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

Choke on your face you jewels is lackluster 

Gotta put it to ya straight 

Y'all fools is jacked up 

Came close to the utmost but no cogar 

Nose to the grindstone, head to the stars 

The number one runner with the number one drummer 

Grammy award-winning it's the world's eighth wonder 

Come on! 

Tell you one lesson I've learned 

If you want to reach something in life 

You ain't gonna get it unless 

You give a little bit of sacrifice 

Ooh sometimes before you smile you got to cry 

You need a heart that's filled with music 

If you use it you can fly 

If you want to be high 

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

Or say I'm sometimey and give people a hassle 

Or try to suntouch and put the heat in a capsule 

Dog 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 disc or I'll put it where your body at 

Old school spit flow laid over Trotter tracks 

With no apology, fraud or tricknology 

Just trust what I see and I say and follow me 

My way, I be the open book, look inside me 

The star of the story that the grooveteller guide me 

Through all the dark times part of the business 

The light be contingent on small forensics 

My microphone'll make a man a newborn infant 

It's true so the true gon' sense it 

I get in the zone 

Tell you one lesson I've learned 

If you want to reach something in life 

You ain't gonna get it unless 

You give a little bit of sacrifice 

Ooh sometimes before you smile you got to cry 

You need a heart that's filled with music 

If you use it you can fly 

If you want to be high 

Tell you one lesson I've learned 

If you want to reach something in life 

You ain't gonna get it unless 

You give a little bit of sacrifice 

Ooh sometimes before you smile you got to cry 

You need a heart that's filled with music 

If you use it you can fly 

If you want to be high 

Tell you one lesson I've learned 

If you want to reach something in life 

You ain't gonna get it unless 

You give a little bit of sacrifice 

Ooh sometimes before you smile you got to cry 

You need a heart that's filled with music 

If you use it you can fly 

If you want to be high
