Sacrifice Lyrics - Church Clothes - Lecrae

My eyes redder than blood shots, nightmares of them gunshots 

I took my girl from the lone star to Memphis 10 on them cold blocks 

And what you think we moved for to see kids get killed in the school zone 

To see crack get sold, bodies turned cold, what do you think, I think that's cool, bro? 

And why do you think I went to school for? To turn around and move back to the hood? 

Nah, boy, that's what it's called a sacrifice, this is bigger than me, it's for a greater good. 

I was a cape town, had a breakdown, Mozambique seen a man face down 

Took blows to the head, boy it's cold out here so we're staying on the grind, no brakes (breaks), nah nah. 

If this a gimmick then explain what's the incentive 

An extorted near deported for this faith I'm representing. 

And when I started pinnin lyrics I wasn't thinkin bout no cypher 

I was thinking about them addicts and them juvies and them lifers. 

Well this is what the people lose they life for. And why they give up all they rights for. 

It ain't no churchin around, huh? But tell me, who you think I write for? 

And I ain't tryin' to be self righteous, but I write just what you'll think twice 

Folks wanna call this gospel rap. Nah, homeboy, this sacrifice.

Some of these rapper's reputations should be in dispute 

Cause real recognize real and you do not compute 

Good as layin yo life down, sacrifice for a worthy cause 

Not for a buncha green paper stacks, overpriced clothes and shiny cars, no. 

This is sacrifice, it's givin your own. 

Even when they don't understand you, you still answer your calling 

And when the world is falling and they back is turned, 

You reach your hand out and pull them out that fiery furnace. 

I learned that from the old heads, you know the ones that never turned back 

Martin Luther King got shot for it, that's priceless you can't earn that. 

Then tell me what do you think he died for? A peace prize? A holiday? 

So I can rap a whole bunch of weak lines about how I'm a make my choppers spray? 

If Jesus really lived, then He really died 

Sacrificed Himself and rose before they very eyes 

And if I ain't really changed, then it's all a lie 

Why put my life on the line, dang this ain't worth my time 

Cause this been real, what nobody knew is we been here 

Before the billboards and the Grammy awards 

It was Christ, homeboy we been clear. 

I have never been fake, got faith, if I lied to yo face 

May I die a disgrace 

Live for the truth that He died in my place 

Thank God for the sacrifice and His grace.
