(We sacrifice)
Around the corner, there's another sacrifice
We sacrifice
Say you got to go through it
Hold yo' text, deacon
That's when the angels sing
(What is sacrifice?)
You think he don't, when he do understand
(We s, We s)
That's when the angels sing
We, we, we sacrifice
(We sacrifice)
When I reach my destination
That's when the victory is sho 'nuff
So they put their babies together to eliminate the fear
Church if you will, please turn to the book of Victor
Mama held up her baby for protection
Dr. King was killed and the streets they started burnin'
(Joy around the corner)
When the smoke was cleared their high was gone
One day I'll visit her, I'm gonna
From a man with a strap in his hand
We, we, we sacrifice
(We sacrifice)
(Tell me)
One day I'll visit her, I'm gonna
Bernadette's a lady and she told me
(We sacrifice)
If she called me anythin' but Victor
(We sacrifice)
(We sacrifice)
(You mean like nigger?)
(We sacrifice)
Yes, we do
Rode me and a group of unsuspectin' political tools
Yes we did fightin' one another
The angel of hate
We sacrifice
(Tell me)
Sell it, don't tell it, don't tell me
I know, Joy lives 'round the corner
I was born on a blood stained table
We sacrifice
Cord wrapped around my neck
Sacrifice, if you turn the page
Joy around the corner
(Go through it all)
Is what u need, you need to sacrifice"
(Pass the booze up here)
Don't, don't, don't say it preacher
We sacrifice
But you got to do the best you can, y'all
That's when the angels sing
(We sacrifice)
(Sacrifice)
Lord, I might get tired
All because of color
Keep on walkin' down this road
A little more important than ripple and weed
Never understood my old friends laughin'
(We sacrifice)
(We sacrifice)
(Out on my block, I'm just a loner)
I know, joy lives 'round the corner
Then sacrifice is the mutha sublime, we love it
(Don't say it, preacher)
When she tell me everythin'
(Joy for sale down on the corner)
We, we, we sacrifice
(Joy for sale down on the corner)
It was like to have another color near
(We sacrifice)
I was sure Heaven marked the deck
(Joy around the corner)
(Tell me)
(Don't say it, preacher)
If the only thing that tells me is, father time
Somebody, anybody, everybody wave your hand
(Joy for sale down on the corner)
S A C R I F I C E
(We sacrifice)
When she tell me everythin'
(Don't say it, preacher)
When she tell me everythin'
(Well, well, well, well)
You got to go through it all
(We sacrifice)
But I, I've got to keep on
But we got somethin' heavy on our minds
(Out on my block, I'm just a loner)
(Go through it)
S A C R I F I C E
N P G in mass attack, Sonny, please
(What she say?)
My name will be, Victor
I know, joy lives 'round the corner
She taught me how to kick her
High glory, yeah
(Out on my block, I'm just a loner)
(Sho 'nuff down with the sacrifice)
(We sacrifice)
(Don't say it, preacher)
That's when the victory is sho 'nuff
Sometimes, you gotta leave the one you love
They got high when everythin' else got wrong
Epileptic 'til the age of seven
(We sacrifice)
(We sacrifice)
Sac-sac-sacrifice
That's when the victory is sho 'nuff
Help me
"Whatever you do son
(We sacrifice)
We sacrifice
Our parents wondered what
1967, in a bus marked, 'Public School'
(Don't say it, preacher)
We like to start at the top if you don't mind
Walkin' down this road
(Sacrifice)
(Joy around the corner)
Ask the Victor 'bout pain and rejection
(We sacrifice)
(We sacrifice)
(We sacrifice)
'Scuse me y'all
(Sacrifice)
Education got important so important to Victor
We don't don't mean to take up yo' time
(Joy around the corner)

(Sho 'nuff down with the sacrifice)
Listen mutha, we sacrifice

A little discipline is what you need
[Incomprehensible] nice at my feet
One day I'll visit her, I'm gonna
(What is sacrifice?)
