Sacrifices of the Greats

Who's ready to ride? Who's ready to die?

I confess, I ain't ready to die; but I stand for what I believe and I survive.

Survival, now that's a hell of a concept.

Its a state that everyone hasn't felt.

Yet there are those that quick to claim the game.

It's my legacy - a part of you and me;

the fighting to be mentally set free

from the chains of past hurts and pains.

If you only knew, you wouldn't be so quick to claim

these streets just to get fame.

Because only what's real and true remains

sometimes its wrong so which side are you on?

I know where I'm from

But its a matter of where I belong.

About claiming a piece of the pie

for which many have given their freedom and their lives

Are you willing to join and pay that price?

To stand apart,

for in that is the ultimate sacrifice.
