I’m hangin’ halfway off the balcony
Overthinkin’ ‘cause my job is way more than a salary
Everything around me gold like I just practiced alchemy

I realized when it comes to girls
That chemistry means way more than anatomy
She mad at me, she been mad at me

[Verse 1]
I’m the livin’ proof
That you don’t need a master’s just to be a masterpiece
People passin’ faster than I’m passin’ weed
My daddy tell me, “Stay strong, son
And be the man you have to be
Holdin’ ship down, don’t crash at sea”
Brrrt! Paper on my phone line
It’s on my phone like fax for me, that’s facts to me
But I don’t want it if it can’t change sht drastically, dramatically
’Cause actually, I realized time’s the most valuable, actually
So I’ma call my favorite girl and she gon’ bring that ass for me
And as for me, I’ma text the room number right now
So you ain’t gotta hit the front desk and go ask for me
Don’t ask for me, don’t ask for me
Don’t ask for me
Lot of sht been goin’ on, things goin’ wrong
So don’t ask for me

I’m hangin’ halfway off the balcony
Overthinkin’ ‘cause my job is way more than a salary
Everything around me gold like I just practiced alchemy

I realized when it comes to girls
That chemistry means way more than anatomy
She mad at me, she been mad at me

[Verse 2]
She been mad, I’ve been on the go, on the road
On a roll more than a roller coaster
They can’t throw me off track or slow
If I did, I got a long list of hoes on hoes
That quote on quote, say I told you so
Heaven on earth, every night is paradise
I pray I didn’t die or overdose, never that
I kept it a hundred, never change, not even for five 20s
Still smokin’ at 5:20 like it’s 4:20
On a quest for more money, more hungry
Just got my fortune read, she said it’s more comin’
Yeah I got the force but never force nothin’
Do it for the love, I’m Forrest Gumpin’
In my city I’m Warren Buffett
I mean business, the shirt is tucked in
The gun’s tungsten, fk it, I’m who not to fk with
Who the bad bches gon’ fk with and lames just don’t fk with?
My stock’s risin’, I’m goin’ public, if I write it, it’s gon’ publish
You’re fkin’ with the best, no discussion

[Interlude]
So disgusting
It’s that 3 and a third sht
Straight up

I’m hangin’ halfway off the balcony
Overthinkin’ ‘cause my job is way more than a salary
Everything around me gold like I just practiced alchemy

I realized when it comes to girls
That chemistry means way more than anatomy
She mad at me, she been mad at me

Elder Big Sean: I think you should answer…
Man: Yo, yo your mom callin’ you

I done made sacrifices, so many sacrifices
I done gave up so much free time knowing time ain’t free
fk it I sacrificed it
My girl show me love, she know I made sacrifices
And if it’s real real love then you make sacrifices
To get ahead man you gotta make sacrifices
fk it though that’s how hungry my appetite is

[Verse 1: Big Sean]
fk what you telling me, I sense the jealousy
I got telepathy, I got the recipe
I got the streets and I don’t got no felonies
Forward thinking yeah my mind is ahead of me
Momma said it’s gonna be whatever you let it be
It’s some homies I grew up with that’s dead to me
It’s some niggas that I just met in debt to me
What’s in common is they both pay respect to me
I get it my way from Friday to Friday
My girl is a mix of Aaliyah and Sade
I came a long way from that Marvin and Chardonnay
I pull out the driveway like I’m in a car chase, speeding
And if my bch cheat she know I’m leaving
No text no call, boy that bch airplane mode, cold
No peacoat no time to change clothes, same clothes
Love if you living by the same code, G code, leave ho
fk it you dead to me, back to my destiny
Penthouse, birds eye view that’s a nest for me
I got my self out of debt
So when you see me know you’re somebody I’ll never need

[Hook: Big Sean]
I done made sacrifices, so many sacrifices
I done gave up so much free time knowing time ain’t free
fk it I sacrificed it
My girl show me love, she know I made sacrifices
And if it’s real real love then you make sacrifices
To get ahead man you gotta make sacrifices
fk it though that’s how hungry my appetite is

[Bridge: Big Sean]
I cut the fk sht drama out my energy
Focused on the inner me, never on the enemy
And I done sacrificed my own time
I done sacrificed my own mind
I done sacrificed the club life
I done sacrificed my love life
Look, I cut the fk sht drama out my energy
Focused on the inner me, never on the enemy
And I done sacrificed my own time
I done sacrificed my own mind
I done sacrificed the club life
I done sacrificed my love life

[Verse 2: Offset]
I done sacrificed the thug life
Diamonds shining ain’t no dull life
Drop my top to get my mind right
Pull up in the ‘Rari, loud pipes
bch I’m the don, my wrist a hundon
Ooh yeah Gucci python ooh yeah
She play with her tongue
Yeah, I bought that bch a new charm
Let the top down told her come see about me
Come on come see me
The devil had entered my soul, my momma had beat it out me
Remember my grandmama had told me you better be somebody
Hop in my seats massaging (aye)
Watch how I leave the posse
I made an M deposit

[Verse 3: Quavo]
Paid all these dues with the game (yeah yeah)
Sacrificed yo stripes for that stain (sacrifice)
Heard you sacrificed your life for that chain (yeah yeah)
She sacrificed that money for cocaine (white, phew, coco)
Left hand got three rings
That’s Bron Bron, we up one
Bad bch she a savage
Take her to the mall and buy her something
That’s gonna wanna make your friends come
Make way with the tommy gun
Why can’t y’all recognize that we all came from sacrifice?
Why can’t y’all recognize that we all came from sacrifice?
Ten toes yeah you gotta stay down aye
Just some young niggas looking for a way out, ayy
People watchin’, yeah I gotta skip town, ayy
Hit my phone if you need a whole pound, ayy

[Hook: Big Sean]
I done made sacrifices, so many sacrifices
I done gave up so much free time knowing time ain’t free
fk it I sacrificed it
My girl show me love, she know I made sacrifices
And if it’s real real love then you make sacrifices
To get ahead man you gotta make sacrifices
fk it though that’s how hungry my appetite is

[Outro: Big Sean & Quavo]
I know my great, great, great aunty was a slave
I could only imagine all the sacrifice she made
I could only imagine all the sht she had to take
I’mma make sure all the blood she gave wasn’t in vain
I sacrifice for your entertainment boy
I’m Mr. Anderson in the Matrix
Check the last name it’s all facts
And the human race is all about pacing
Look at all the ones I outlasted
I’m the one at the end like I count backwards
Never satisfied details classified
Till the afterlife make a sacrifice, Don
Why can’t y’all recognize that we all came from sacrifice?
Why can’t y’all recognize that we all came from sacrifice?
