Trip Lee - Sweet Victory lyrics

rate me

ft. Dimitri McDowell & Leah Smith

(Hook )

I feel thorns where my crown was

I’ll be weak but I’m alive

From the dust until dawn yea

I’ll survive cuz I got

Sweet victory

Nobody can take it from me

Sweet victory

Cuz I got, sweet victory yea

(Verse)

You see me limpin’ , I know you see me limpin’

You can’t tell on these CDs, but bro I’m knee deep in it

I’m wadin’ in my weakness, he made me dependent

I’d be lyin’ throw 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 seven years

So miss me with that “keep your chin up try to smile”

Bruh I’m twenty-six, I should feel better by a mile

Keep all your anecdotes and cute quotes

I’ll pass on clichés for true hopes, he’s too dope

(Hook )

(Bridge )

Toast to the king, cheers to the ceilin’

Feelin’ good we gonna to make it to the finish

Sweet victory

You hear me, hola if you feel me

We still runnin’ even thow we limpin’

Sweet victory

Cuz we winnin’, yeah you know we winnin’

Even thow we winded we still in it

Sweet victory

Cuz we winnin’, yea you know we winnin’, now we live in

Sweet victory

(Verse)

They see me on the stage, they like “that boy the man”

They hit play on them songs, they clappin’ in ‚em stands

They like, “I bet you got a lot of em stacks in rubber bands”

So when I say its 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 its been like on my wife

Don’t know my fight boy

Been in them trenches steady trying to fight my foes

And when I couldn’t fight no more he brought me low, low

He brought me low, I know I can’t bear that load

(Hook ) + (Bridge)

(Verse)

They like “I hear you talkin’ wins but I see your losses”

“You celebratin’ crowns but I see your crosses”

Thats the paradox that don’t fit in your merry box

You might not understand that you walk in this pair of socks

The victor ain’t the one thats winnin’ seventh innin’

Trophies don’t go to the ones that got a good beginnin’

When I say I win I don’t mean this day I’m in

I mean that day when the grey skies fade out then

I’m winnin’ cuz I reign with him

(Outro)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

The crown of thorns declares you’re King

A scarlet robe can’t cloak your majesty

Yea they nailed your hands, you nailed our death

From the cross you reigned

Your kingdom knows no end

Ooh Jesus, you won it all

Ooh Jesus, victorious x 2

Ooh Jesus
