Sacrifices
Featuring 2 Chainz, Young Thug
Sacrifices features 2 Chainz and Young Thug, produced by T-Minus with additional production by Deejae. It is widely read as a meditation on what success has demanded — relationships, trust, and peace traded for status — with each guest adding his own angle on the price of ambition over reflective, atmospheric production. The title functions as the song's thesis. It extends Drake's recurring 'success has a cost' narrative into a collaborative format and sits among More Life's more introspective cuts, balancing the playlist's brighter global moments with weariness.
