Sweet Victory

[Hook - Dimitri McDowell:]
I feel thorns where my crown was
I be weak, but Im alive
From the dusk until dawn, yeah
Ill survive cause I got
Sweet victory
Nobody can take it from me
Sweet victory
Cause I got sweet victory, yeah
[Verse 1: Trip Lee]
You see me limpin, I know you see me limpin
You cant tell on these CDs, but, bro, Im knee deep in it
Im wading in my weakness, He made me dependent
Id be lyin through my teeth to say I dont resent it
Even as I write these lines Im close to tears
My body aint been workin right for 7 years
So miss me with that 'Keep your chin up, try to smile'
Bro, Im 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 ****
I feel thorns where my crown was
I be weak, but Im alive
From the dusk until dawn, yeah
Ill 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
Sweetvictory
[Verse 2: Trip Lee]
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 'Its been a hard few years' they think Im playin
But you dont know my life, boy, you dont know my life , boy
You dont know what its been like on my wife, dont know my fight, boy
Been in the trenches steady tryna fight my foes
And when I couldnt fight no more it brought me low, low
It brought me low, I know cant bear that load
I feel thorns where my crown was
I be weak, but Im alive
From the dusk until dawn, yeah
Ill 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
[Verse 3: Trip Lee ]
They like, 'I hear you talkin wins, but I see your losses'
You celebratin crowns, but I see your crosses
Thats the paradox that dont fit in your merit box
You might not understand if you walk in this pairof socks
The victor aint the one thats winnin seventh inning
Trophies dont go to ones that got a good beginning
When I say I win, I dont mean the state Im in
I mean that day when the gray skies fade out then
Im winning cause I reign with Him
The crown of thorns
Declares Youre King
A scarlet robe cant 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
