Sweet Victory

I feel thorns where my crown was

I be weak but I'm alive

From the dusk until dawn (yeah)

I'll survive because I got sweet victory

Nobody can take it from me sweet victory

Cause I got sweet victory

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 be lyin' through my teeth to say I don't resent it

Even as I write these lines I'm close to tears

Body ain't be 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

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

Yeah we still runnin' even though we limpin' (sweet victory)

Cause we winnin', yeah we know we winnin'

Even though we're winnin' we're still in it (sweet victory)

Cause we winnin', yeah we 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 few hard 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

Being 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

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 the state 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 mailed 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
