Sacrifices Lyrics

Made some sacrifices just to get in this position

Counting up my blessings leading to a life of winning

God believed in me when all the people said they didn't, yeah

But I'm just thankful that I made it

Every night that when I'm laying close my eyes and say my prayers

He showed me the road, told me Juss go and pave it

Keep on doing right, don't you ever make no changes, yeah

But I'm just thankful that I made it

Look, I said that time is of the essence

The present is a present, but I swear that they don't get it

Cherish every moment, could be gone at any minute

That's why I'm going hard till the end till I'm finished

But I don't know what I'd do without you here

You make all my worries and my fears disappear

I put my faith into you, you make me see my visions clear

Got damn, you gave me strength it's been a hell of a year

But there's trials and tribulations I'm facing can't be complacent

I got a dream I'm chasing, if I don't chase it

Then people, they looking for my replacement

I'm thanking God he put me in the goodness of the graces

Made some sacrifices just to get in this position

Counting up my blessings leading to a life of winning

God believed in me when all them people said they didn't, yeah

But I'm just thankful that I made it

Every night that when I'm laying close my eyes and say my prayers

He showed me the road, told me Juss go and pave it

Keep on doing right, don't you ever make no changes, yeah

But I'm just thankful that I made it

Usually I avoid the scrutiny

But if I'm being honest then baby then really truthfully

It's less about the talking and more about actions you prove to me

What you bringing to the table, baby, what you do for me?

Not much that I can't do for myself

I pray for all the family and I pray for good health

I pray for all my enemies and I pray for myself

And when the odds stacked against us, know we bet on ourselves

Me and God we got a good thing

Thinking about these blessings, all that they could bring

Surround myself with good people, got a good team

Wake up and give thanks, that's my routine

Back when I was younger, used to have a hoop dream

Now I'm older, I just want to count some new cream

And keep my distance from the people said they knew me

Cause to have known me, they probably know the old me

They don't know me now in all my glow and all my glory

I'm just getting started, God is helping me write my story

Made some sacrifices just to get in this position

Counting up my blessings leading to a life of winning

God believed in me when all them people said they didn't

But I'm just thankful that I made it

Every night that when I'm laying close, my eyes just say my prayers

He showed me the road, told me Juss go and pave it

Keep on doing right, don't you ever make no changes

But I'm just thankful that I made it
