Prince - The Sacrifice of Victor - Текст песни

What is sacrifice?

(We s... we s... we s... we sacrifice)

NPG in mass attack, Sonny, please.

(we sacrifice)

Church if u will, please turn 2 the book of Victor (We s, We s)
We like 2 start at the top if u don't mind

(we sacrifice)
(Don't say it, preacher)

I was born on a blood stained table
Cord wrapped around my neck
Epilectic 'til the age of 7
I was sure heaven marked the deck

(we sacrifice)
I know joy lives 'round the corner
{Joy for sale down on the corner}       (we sacrifice)
One day I'll visit her I'm gonna
{Out 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)
(help me)
(Don't say it, preacher)

Mama held up her baby 4 protection
From a man with a strap in his hand
Ask the Victor 'bout pain and rejection
U think he don't when he do understand

(we sacrifice)
I know joy lives 'round the corner
{Joy for sale down on the corner}       (we sacrifice)
One day I'll visit her I'm gonna
{Out 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)
(help me)
{S.A.C.R.I.F.I.C.E}
(we-we-we sacrifice)
(Don't say it preacher)
(sac-sacrifice)
(we-we-we sacrifice)

(we-we-we sacrifice)
(sacrifice... if u turn the page)
(Don't say it, preacher)

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 together 2 eliminate the fear
We sacrifice yes we did
Fighting one another, (we sacrifice)  (don't say it preacher)
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?)
