Trip Lee, Leah Smith, Dimitri McDowell - Sweet Victory lyrics
[Trip Lee, Leah Smith, Dimitri McDowell - Sweet Victory lyrics]
I feel thorns where my crown was
I be weak, but I'm alive
From the dusk until dawn, yeah
I'll survive 'cause I got sweet victory
Nobody can take it from me sweet victory
'Cause, I got sweet victory, yeah
You see me limpin', I know you see me limpin'
You can't tell on these CD's, but, bro
I'm knee deep in it
I'm wading in my weakness
He made me dependent
I'd be lyin' through my teeth to
Say I don't resent it
Even as I write these lines
I'm close to tears
My body ain't been workin' right for 7 years
So miss me with that "Keep your chin up
Try to smile"
Bro, I'm 26 I should feel better by a mile
Keep all your anecdotes and cute quotes
I’ll pass on cliches for true hope
It’s too dope
I feel thorns where my crown was
I be weak, but I'm alive
From the dusk until dawn, yeah
I'll survive 'cause I got sweet victory
Nobody can take it from me sweet victory
'Cause, I got sweet victory, yeah
Woo! yeah!
Toast to the King, cheers to the ceiling
Feeling good, we gon' make it to the finish
(Yes) sweet victory
You hear me, holla if you feel me
Yeah, we still runnin' even though we limpin'
(Yes) sweet victory
'Cause we winnin', yeah, you know we winnin'
Even though we winded we still in it (Yes)
Sweet victory
'Cause we winnin', yeah, you know we winnin'
Now we livin' sweet victory
They see me on the stage, they like
"That boy the man"
They hit play on them songs
They clappin' in them stands
They like "I bet you got a lot
Of them stacks in rubber bands"
So when I say "It's been a hard
Few years" they think I'm playin'
But, you don't know my life, boy
You don't know my life, boy
You don't know what it's been like on
My wife, don't know my fight, boy
Been in the trenches steady
Tryna' fight my foes
And when I couldn't fight no
More it brought me low, low
It brought me low
I know can't bear that load
I feel thorns where my crown was
I be weak, but I'm alive
From the dusk until dawn, yeah
I'll survive 'cause I got sweet victory
Nobody can take it from me sweet victory
'Cause, I got sweet victory, yeah
Toast to the King, cheers to the ceiling
Feeling good, we gon' make it to the finish
Sweet victory
You hear me, holla if you feel me
We still runnin' even though we limpin'
Sweet victory
'Cause we winnin', yeah, you know we winnin'
Even though we winded we still in it
Sweet victory
'Cause we winnin', yeah, you know we winnin'
Now we livin' sweet victory
They like, "I hear you talkin' wins
But, I see your losses"
You celebratin' crowns
But, I see your crosses
That's the paradox that don't fit
In your merit box
You might not understand if you walk
In this pair of socks
The victor ain't the one
That's winnin' seventh inning
Trophies don't go to ones that
Got a good beginning when I say I win
I don't mean this day I'm in
I mean that day when the
Gray skies fade out then
I'm winning 'cause I reign with Him
The crown of thorns declares You're King
A scarlet robe can't cloak Your majesty
They nailed Your hands you nailed our death
From the cross You reigned
Your Kingdom knows no end oh, Jesus
You won it all oh, Jesus
Victorious oh, Jesus
You won it all oh, Jesus
Victorious oh, Jesus
I be weak, but I'm alive
From the dusk until dawn, yeah
I'll survive 'cause I got sweet victory
Nobody can take it from me sweet victory
'Cause, I got sweet victory, yeah
You see me limpin', I know you see me limpin'
You can't tell on these CD's, but, bro
