Description
Everyday life here is like a puzzle made up of little rituals: morning espresso, jogging, kids going to school, new crossovers, and the old Bottega. It all seems simple, but between the lines you can hear that this isn't just everyday life, but endurance training. Family, sports, music, work - all in one schedule, and every detail has a little more meaning than it seems. As a result, an unexpectedly warm thought emerges behind the swinging beat: yes, the world is cold and noisy, but life is still beautiful - if you're not too lazy to live it.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Damn, yeah
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Uh, uh, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Man, my heart's so big, man, I had to step back (uh)
Put time in my craft, I'm a full-time dad (numbers)
Morning time decision, hardtop or the rag (hmm)
Son dropped off, now I'm back to the lab (numbers)
G-350 sitting nice on the pavers (uh)
Espresso shot while I count this paper (cool)
New windbreaker, wearin' archive Bottega (uh)
Go tuck in Benicia with a view that's amazin' (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)
Hit the car wash, take a jog while they cleanin' (cleanin')
A nigga like me, love, nah, you never seen him (seen him)
Al on the beat, spent my life on wax
Early morning calisthenics, after that, I kick back (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)
And roll somethin' up, come with a plan
Tired of this shit, tryna really live
'Cause if you don't work, you don't eat, young man (nah)
So every single day, I'm going hard as I can (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)
Sacrifice
I'ma live my life like I wanna (damn)
'Cause you're beautiful (yeah, yeah)
So beautiful (Toni)
Life is beautiful
I don't gatekeep, I want everybody to eat
It's a cold world, Jermaine wearing a mink
Even with my shoes off, not facing defeat
Appetite for destruction, they was craving deceit
Careful what you put inside, the outside the receipt
Me and Larry take our lives, put the vibe on the beat
Say my name a couple times, I arrive in some cleats
I come straight up out the field like a nigga picking wheat
I've been on a winning streak, I made Al pick all the beats
Intermittent fasting with the burpees got me looking sleek
Kissin' on my Georgia peach, I've been on the right path
I'ma take my son to practice in these out-of-state tags
Oldest daughter got a license and I pray she don't crash
But I know she ready, shit, she got it from her dad
And my middle child never goin' out sad
If they roll joints good, I'll put 'em on staff
And roll somethin' up, come with a plan
Tired of this shit, tryna really live
'Cause if you don't work, you don't eat, young man (nah)
So every single day, I'm going hard as I can (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)
Sacrifice
I'ma live my life like I wanna
'Cause you're beautiful (yeah)
So beautiful
Life is beautiful
Ah, life is beautiful
You know, it's the little things in life that make it worthwhile
But my issue is that when you rap
You rap about what these children relate to because it's in their body
You've already stated that
I was just wondering what your thoughts were on, um
Whether you thought you really had an impact on a lot of the young people
Whether you thought it was negative or positive
