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 'til 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 displicine 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 til 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
