Yeah

[Verse 1]
Who woulda thought that I would  be here?
Just a few!
You shoulda saw me when they didn’t cheer
Wasn't coo!
But I swear this is my year
Walk in new!
Old things left behind like
Velour suits!
But wait!
Lil Ray-Ray felt he had to do what they say
Just to have a pay day
Failed to see this wasn’t a play date
Missed out on dat childhood
Yeah, he had raise Tae-Tae
Mom's on that meth
And his pops caught a murder case
Slim chances for this inner city coloured boy
The way we’ve been portrayed
Make it easy to be betrayed
First became a slave, then a dream paved the way
Even though we sharing sinks
Don’t mean the pain gone sinks away (Woh!)
Pastor yellin', "Do not, do not be dismayed!"
I swear, I hear ya but I do not see the day
How do we fly when the ceilings in the way?
I want to sing but I cannot find a praise

[Hook: Grace Rose]
I already seen the signs
The battles almost over
When I think that I’m in decline
I find a deeper strength
The war is already won
And now I’m fighting from
My victory, my victory , my victory
My victory, yeah

[Verse 2]
Down trodden, I found bottom
I need a lift
Was bound Soddom
I found Abba, I leap the cliff
I heard the prophet say
"You awesome! Gone and release your gift!"
I found it awkward to be so awesome
But there I went
Especially when you got a poppa
That remove the fence
He blew His breath and then my wings
Begin to catch some wind
I ascend above my circumstances
Can’t offend me, I got purpose glances
And the enemy, he a nervous man
Overcame some brokenness
Self detained by hopelessness
Please excuse my openness
But it’s helping me with closure
From coward, now to soldier
No father round to shoulder
The weight raising a sent one
But ma dukes, she didn’t run
Stood in the ring for this son
A black man who overcome
Ain’t playing the role of victim
God handles my vengeance
Battles already won
Wave the banner crimson
Battles already won
Wave the banner crimson

[Hook: Grace Rose]
I already seen the signs (Hey yeah)
The battles almost over
When I think that I’m in decline (When I'm in decline)
I find a deeper strength
The war is already won (Already won)
And now I’m fighting from (Now I'm fighting from)
My victory, my victory
My victory

[Verse 3: Grace Rose]
So you better hold on tight
Cause the fight ain’t finished
Stop trippin' cause you’re still gonna win it
The best oil comes when you’re pressed down
So, you better let your knees hit the ground
The weapons that you fight with
They may not make sense
But that’s because He’s gotta get the credit when you win it
So, open up your mouth and speak the truth that you know
The victory is yours so go on claim the gold (Gold, gold, gold, gold)

[Bridge]
Yo, who said it’s over?
When them angels at attention
Sorry, did I mention
It's more wit us than wit them?
Who said it's over?
When Jehovah wrote the story
It don’t matter if it's gory
End of story, gone be glory, yeah
Who said it's over?
Just because you got knocked down
Oh, magnify the Lord with me!
And watch it turn around, yea
Who said it’s over?
Only believe!
Have you heard the good news?
Yeah, only receive!

[Hook: Grace Rose]
I already seen the signs (Hey yeah)
The battles almost over
When I think that I’m in decline (When I'm in decline)
I find a deeper strength
The war is already won (Already won)
And now I’m fighting from (Now I'm fighting from)
My victory (Yeah)
My victory (Yeah)
My victory
My victory, yeah

[Outro: Grace Rose]
My victory, yeah
My victory, yeah
My victory
My victory, yeah
My victory, yeah
