Song by Jamie Foxx f/ Common, Guru<br /><br>

[Guru:]<br>

Though the times are getting wicked I'm older<br>

I got a chip on my shoulder<br>

True players always maintaing, I'm different I told ya<br>

Don't want to be just a commodity<br>

I'm smarter G<br>

This is my life, and my soul not just a chart to me<br>

It's the truest part of me<br>

Fans now mobbing me<br>

Fake friends acting like I just won the lottery<br>

Back then I guess it was hard to see<br>

The real paradox<br>

What an artist see<br>

It's like that saying<br>

Be careful what you pray for you might get it <br>

Of course it's all about winning and money but how far will we let it<br>

Taken 'em, the holy game can make 'em, then instantaneously break 'em<br>

Rain one day sunshine the next<br>

Haters try and stop my flow sometimes I'm vexed<br>

What's next accounted by the press<br>

Mad stress on my chest <br>

Of course I know that I'm blessed but here's the test<br>

On "Any Given Sunday" I got to play my best<br>

<br>

[Chorus:]<br>

Sacrifice don't give up the fight, <br>

everything will be all right on any given Sunday<br>

Guru: The harder they come the hard, yeah the harder they must fall<br>

Depends on you if you win or lose, <br>

you know you got to pay some dues so that you can live on Monday<br>

Guru: Strive to achieve and die for what you believe<br>

<br>

[Jamie Foxx:]<br>

On the battlefields left abandoned<br>

One man standing<br>

To me the ball was handed<br>

Taken shots and left stranded,<br>

No defensive they tackle me<br>

Every blow brings back a memory<br>

Learning lessons from my injury<br>

It's killing me <br>

Cause at first they wasn't feeling me<br>

Never given a chance to show my true ability<br>

Too many pressures trying to play me out<br>

Put me positions that's sure to lay me out<br>

No doubt<br>

<br>

[Chorus:]<br>

Sacrifice don't give up the fight, <br>

everything will be all right on any given Sunday<br>

Guru: The harder they come the hard, yeah the harder they must fall<br>

Depends on you if you win or lose, <br>

you know you got to pay some dues so that you can live on Monday<br>

Guru: Strive to achieve and die in for what you believe<br>

<br>

[Common:]<br>

Playing on a field of hard times<br>

These struggles are like the yardlines that I gain from<br>

Nowhere is where I came from<br>

>From day one<br>

I knew the game and how to play run<br>

But never knew the price of fame would weigh tons<br>

Now I learn from self when pain comes<br>

And walk when they say run<br>

Fame can be as painful as<br>

Death of patron<br>

Young black, gifted<br>

But I'm rapped in myself<br>

Broke many tackles but I'm trapped in myself<br>

See what happens with wealth<br>

At times you can lose yourself<br>

During the sunniest of days many superstars fell<br>

>From Cotton to football fields<br>

You know how they play brothers<br>

As long as we play well they love us<br>

I know that on Any Given Sunday<br>

This can be taken from me<br>

But it all comes down to is money<br>

I know that on Any Given Sunday <br>

This can be taken from me <br>

But it all comes down to is money y'all<br>

<br>

[Chorus: (2x)]<br>

Sacrifice don't give up the fight, <br>

everything will be all right on Any Given Sunday<br>

Guru: The harder they come the hard, yeah the harder they must fall<br>

Depends on you if you win or lose, <br>

you got to pay some dues so that you can live on Monday<br>

Guru: Strive to achieve and die for what you believe<br>
