"VIRTUE, DREAMS BEYOND DREAMS"
(C. DeCracken)
Tribute by Father B.I.G.
Check it out, yo, check it check it out
With a B to the I to the G
Cactus Bastard
Down with the virtue
Father B., an' I'm down wit' the G
Virtue
come free me, yo
Virtue
come save me
Cause ya know I be lovin' that virtue
Cause ya know I be needin' that virtue
This life of sin
kills me deep within
Everything is wrong, yo
Everything is Hell
[s.b.: original song]This lie of indulging pleasure has brought me more misery
'Xperimentin' wit' sin
has made me evil
"A little bit a' sin"
is too much sin
[s.b.: original song, filtered]
Replace iniquity
with innocence
Quell agression
with passivity
Balance desire
with sacrifice
I understand, yo
To be good
is a choice
An' I choose it
Virtue
Talkin' bout the virtue
better chastise me
Take me to your temple, my G.O.D.
and let me meditate
in your chamber
talkin' bout your chamber
chamber of sanct-it-ty!
[s.b.: original song]
Flying through golden halls of wisdom,
my soul is changed through waters of purity
Virtue, fill me with righteousness
I replaced my impulsiveness
wiht chastity and self control
My lips once spittin' pro-fan-it-iy
now clean with prayers to the G
I don't
satisfy those sinful desires, yo
I deny them, renounce them
[s.b.: original song, filtered]
Memories of you from my youth
come to me in fruition and bloom
Virtue, make me holy
Feelin' you in my arms
there is nothin' else I want
I became somethin' else
I've found my home
[spoken:]
Virtue, abide with me
I am free
I'm fulfilled
[chanted by children]
We are one
my dream and angel
my queen and lover
We are one, my homies
yo
Father B.I.G. in the house!
