歌詞

What is sacrifice? (We sacrifice) {repeat throughout song} N.P.G. in mass attack, Sonny, if U please Church if U will, please turn 2 The Book of Victor We'd like 2 start at the top, if U don't mind (Go'n say it preacher) {repeat throughout song} I was born on a bloodstained table Cord wrapped around my neck Epileptic till the age of seven I was sure heaven marked the deck CHORUS: We sacrifice - I know joy lives 'round the cover (Towards the cell down on the corner) We sacrifice - One day I'll visit her I'm gonna (Down on my block I'm just a loner) We sacrifice - When she tell me everything (Tell me) That's when the angels sing (Sacrifice) That's when the victory is sho'nuff (Sho'nuff down with the sacrifice) We sacrifice (Hit me) Mama held up her baby 4 protection From a man with a strap in his hand Ask 'lil Victor 'bout pain and rejection U think he don't when he do understand CHORUS S.A.C.R.I.F.I.C.E. Sacri... sacrifice Sacrifice If U'll turn the page 1967 in a bus marked, "Public Schools" Rode me and a group of unsuspecting political tools Our parents wondered what it was like 2 have another color near So they put their babies 2gether 2 eliminate the fear We sacrifice - yes, we did Fighting one another We sacrifice - all because of color The angel of hate - she taught me how 2 kick her If she called me anything but "Victor" (U mean like "nigger"?) If the only thing that tells is Father Time Then sacrifice is a mutha sublime - we love it Listen mutha, we sacrifice Well, well, well, well (What is sacrifice?) Hold your text, Deacon Never understood my old friends a laughing (Ha ha ha) They got high when everything else got wrong (Pass the bowl...) Dr. King was killed and the streets - they start burnin' When the smoke was cleared, their high was gone Education got important, so important 2 Victor Even more important than Ripple and weed Bernadette's the lady - and she told me (What'd she say?) "Whatever U do, son, a little discipline is what U need" (A little discipline is what U need) Is what U need, U need 2 sacrifice CHORUS (What is sacrifice?) We sacrifice (Hey yeah) S.A.C.R.I.F.I.C.E. (Joy around the corner) {repeated till end} (We sacrifice, we're gonna.. whoop!) (How can we...) Excuse me, y'all We don't mean 2 take up your time But we got something heavy on our minds, whoo Yes we do Sometimes, U got 2 leave the one U love Somebody, anybody, everybody wave your hand Around every corner, there's another sacrifice But U got 2 do the best U can Say U got 2 go through it (Go through it) We got 2 go through it, y'all Everybody, yeah (Say it now, say it now, Tommy come on, say it now) (Lord have mercy, my feet) Lord, I might get tired but I, I gotta keep on Walking down this road Gotta keep on walking down this road - gonna reach my destination, yeah My name will be Victor-or-or Amen
