Read the full Sacrifice lyrics by Tech N9ne along with the music video, song credits, release information and other details about the song.

[Intro: Tech N9ne]
I ain’t really get to do a lot of fun things other teenagers got to do
So sacrificing all that, I worked on my craft

[Chorus: Jehry Robinson]
So one day I’ll be old enough to get it right
‘Cause Lord knows we don’t put up with the sacrifice
So inside your head, don’t you give up
Just know I done my best while we living
But some days I can’t see all the sun through the rain (Sun through the rain)
And I won’t give up until you know why we came
It’s the sacrifice

[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
Living under strict rules
In the house, so then I skipped school
Because that choice I did choose
Didn’t get to hang with Mike, Will, or Big Scoob
My step father had some issues
With the way that I conducted myself so this muse
Sat up in his room and created sick grooves
With blues of a juve’, it was the lit fuse
At home in the room I’m distant
But my step daddy was persistent
Saying I should change my mission
‘Cause out of all these rappers, what makes you different?
I was in the stars and that brought me back to life
Could not rap until the rap was right
Other activities I’d sacrifice

[Chorus: Jehry Robinson]
So one day I’ll be old enough to get it right
‘Cause Lord knows we don’t put up with the sacrifice
So inside your head, don’t you give up
Just know I done my best while we living
But some days I can’t see all the sun through the rain (Sun through the rain)
But I won’t give up until you know why we came

It’s the sacrifice

[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
This happened
Instead of kicking it with the homies I worked on his passion
The food business made me really miss rapping
On fish and cheese steaks I was knick-knacking
But it’s blasting inside of my head
When grease right on my red Puma’s
The kicks wack and I miss laughing with the fellas
Miss that when I’m working at Steak & Take and at Fish Captain
But when I get home
The music flicks on
And I get lost in that s*it, my lonely feelings get gone
I guess my time to kick it with the homies gonna be in the afterlife
The rap delights, I got other things
That’s the price and what I had to sacrifice

[Chorus: Jehry Robinson]
So one day I’ll be old enough to get it right
‘Cause Lord knows we don’t put up with the sacrifice
So inside your head, don’t you give up
Just know I done my best while we living
But some days I can’t see all the sun through the rain (Sun through the rain)
But I won’t give up until you know why we came
It’s the sacrifice

[Verse 3: Tech N9ne]
Senior prom
This working teen was gone
When I was a young man and I missed all that
All I thought was “mean Hassan”
But the green was b0mb
That I made while working
Things was calm but had gripes
Woes working on flows
When everybody else had worlds of fun, grad night
Inside I was hurting
But now I’m a surgeon
When it comes to writing rhymes
The practice made this be certain
Yes, I guess I missed a lot as a kid but rap was caught by Tech
And back in the day unconsciously I got the “Sacrifice” tatt across my chest

[Chorus: Jehry Robinson]
So one day I’ll be old enough to get it right
‘Cause Lord knows we don’t put up with the sacrifice
So inside your head, don’t you give up
Just know I done my best while we living
But some days I can’t see all the sun through the rain (Sun through the rain)
But I won’t give up until you know why we came
It’s the sacrifice

[Outro: Reign Yates, Tech N9ne]
These are really good stories, dad
I’ma have to hit you back, baby, uh
I got a missed call from Bella
Alrighty, talk you later
I love you
Love you too
Peace
