Victory

(album: American Sun - 2019)

I could have stayed down
I could let it all take hold of me
I could have laid down
But I'm right back on my feet

Yeah!

Start at the top let's start at the beginning
Walk this road with me
I tell you what I'm thinking
Pass the time with me
While I get in my feelings
Imma put it on the table just listen

Life on repeat like syncopated beats
If I said I was OK I'd be lying through my teeth
So many pitfalls have knocked me off my feet
But I get back up to the beat

I could have stayed down
I could let it all take hold of me
I could have laid down
But I'm right back on my feet
And I surprised that I'm alive and I'm still fighting, I'm surviving
But I'm right back on my feet

I've been underrated, underestimated I've lived with my self hatred
Been through the fire
Been through the wire
Been stepped on
But I still aspire for great tings
Not ratings
No small tings
I do brave tings
No sucka shit I ain't desperate
Dem dark days I'm over it

I'm getting stronger with every step I take
I'm getting wiser with every move I make
So many times I've been knocked off my feet
I get back up to the beat

I could have stayed down
I could let it all take hold of me
I could have laid down
But I'm right back on my feet
And I surprised that I'm alive and I'm still fighting, I'm surviving
But I'm right back on my feet

I see the mountains they better move
Ain't no stopping me from doing what I'm bout to do
Though I've fallen my story's not complete
It ain't over till the day I taste victory

It ain't over till the day I taste victory

I could have stayed down
I could let it all take hold of me
I could have laid down
But I'm right back on my feet
And I surprised that I'm alive and I'm still fighting, I'm surviving
But I'm right back on my feet

It ain't over till the day I taste victory
It ain't over till the day I taste victory
