Sweet Victory (feat. Dmitri Mcdowell & Leah Smith)

[Hook - Dimitri McDowell:] I feel thorns where my crown was I’ll be weak but I’m alive From the dust 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 [Verse 1:] You see me limping , I know you see me limping You can’t tell on these CDs, but bro I’m knee deep in it I’m wading in my weakness, he made me dependent I’d be lying 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 working 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 - Trip Lee & Dimitri McDowell:] Toast to the King, cheers to the ceiling Feeling good we gon’ to make it to the finish Sweet victory You hear me, holla if you feel me We still running even though we limping Sweet victory Cause we winning, yeah you know we winning Even though we winded we still in it Sweet victory Cause we winning, yeah you know we winning, now we live in Sweet victory [Verse 2:] They see me on the stage, they like “that boy the man” They hit play on them songs, they clapping 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 I’m playing 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 3:] They like “I hear you talking wins but I see your losses” “You celebrating crowns but I see your crosses” Thats the paradox that don’t fit in your merry box You might not understand ‘till you walk in this pair of socks The victor ain’t the one thats winning seventh inning Trophies don’t go to the 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 grey 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 Yeah 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 [x2] Oh Jesus
