Natalie Lauren - Sweet Victory lyrics

[Hook: Dimitri McDowell] 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 [Verse 1: Trip Lee] 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 pa** on cliches for true hope, it's too dope [Hook: Dimitri McDowell] [Bridge: Trip Lee & Dimitri McDowell] 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) [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 "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 [Hook: Dimitri McDowell] [Bridge: Trip Lee & Dimitri McDowell] [Verse 3: Trip Lee] 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 [Outro: Leah Smith] The crown of thorns Declares you're King A scarlet robe can't cloak Your majesty They nailed Your hands You nailed our d**h 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
