Lyrics The Sacrifice (feat. Nawe) - Nawe , M.I. Abaga

I promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth
Finito

If you love something let it go, I know
It's just that I have carried many loads for you
(I've loved you like I've never loved anyone before)
I don't wanna hold you back so just go
I'll be okay on my own
(I guess that's just my sacrifice)

Yeah I loved you more than I loved myself
Loved you more than the love that I had for anything else
Why you choose me just to use me
I'm out here acting like it doesn't move me when God damn
I've been loyal, been loyal to you
Went through fire and trials for you
I'ma pick the pieces and fix up, recoup (Treason my Nigga)
This is treason, you've made me a fool

If you love someone let 'em go, I know
It's just that I have travelled many roads for you
(I've loved you like I've never loved anyone before)
I'll be okay when you leave
Don't you worry 'bout me
(I guess that's just my sacrifice)

I wonder how you sleep at night
After all I sacrificed for you
Shey he's gonna treat you right
All I had my widow's mite, I gave to you
Okay it was more than fucking, we were besties
Kai you taught me something, you be university, yeah
MMM, this your love see investing chai
Very soon you gon' see that I was the best thing
The best thing (Uh I was the best thing that ever happened in your life)
But God dey for me nothing harm me
Ayy, ayy sipping wine, sitting calmly
Ayy, ayy with all my people wey dey for me
Be like say I get Army (Yeah yeah yeah)
I'll be good on my own
Only one thing
When you fall don't come back to me
Yeah

If you love someone let 'em go, I know
It's the hardest thing to do (Yeah yeah)
(I've loved you like I've never loved anyone before)
Bridges burned, lessons learned yeah yeah
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be cool
(I guess that's just my sacrifice)

So one thing that I have admired about you and your entire journey as an artiste
And when I think about the fact that you were in Jos, you left Jos, went to Lagos
And you carried your community with you
Like you didn't go there and get famous uhhmm
You know and just forget about everyone
You took everyone with you and there is so much honor in that
And if you haven't heard it from anyone
I'm telling you that for those of us that knew the journey before you
From where you started to where you are now
Like I have so much respect for you for that
The fact that you took the people with you
You could have left them behind
