Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I feel thorns where my crown was

I'll be weak, but I'm alive

From the dusk 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 2]

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'd be lyin' 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 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

[Verse 3]

I feel thorns where my crown was

I'll be weak, but I'm alive

From the dusk 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 4]

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'

Sweet victory

[Verse 5]

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 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 it's been like on my wife, don't know my fight, boy

Been 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

[Verse 6]

I feel thorns where my crown was

I'll be weak, but I'm alive

From the dusk 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 7]

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 8]

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

[Verse 9]

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

Oh, Jesus

You won it all

Oh, Jesus

Victorious

Oh, Jesus
