Cord wrapped around my neck
Epileptic 'til the age of seven

1967, in a bus marked, 'Public School'
Rode me and a group of unsuspectin' political tools
Our parents wondered what
It was like to have another color near
So they put their babies together to eliminate the fear
We sacrifice
Yes we did fightin' one another
We sacrifice
(Don't say it, preacher)
All because of color
The angel of hate
She taught me how to kick her
If she called me anythin' but Victor

If the only thing that tells me is, father time
Then sacrifice is the mutha sublime, we love it
Listen mutha, we sacrifice
Don't, don't, don't say it preacher
We sacrifice

Hold yo' text, deacon
Never understood my old friends laughin'
They got high when everythin' else got wrong

When the smoke was cleared their high was gone
Education got important so important to Victor
A little more important than ripple and weed

A little discipline is what you need
Is what u need, you need to sacrifice"

Sometimes, you gotta leave the one you love
Somebody, anybody, everybody wave your hand
Around the corner, there's another sacrifice
(Joy around the corner)
But you got to do the best you can, y'all
(We sacrifice)
Say you got to go through it
(Go through it)
You got to go through it all
(Go through it all)
High glory, yeah
Sell it, don't tell it, don't tell me
(Joy around the corner)
[Incomprehensible] nice at my feet
Lord, I might get tired
But I, I've got to keep on
(We sacrifice)
Walkin' down this road
(We sacrifice)
Keep on walkin' down this road

When I reach my destination
(We sacrifice)
My name will be, Victor
Amen
