[Intro]
Cheah
Yo
[Verse]
I’ll say I’m done when I'm finished, and I worked for this position
With no fouls, just know how, the GOAT now, no kidding
And I'm home now, so fitting, I'm sittin' here and thinkin' (Yeah)
This is so dope, I had no hope (What?) and I so broke (What?) that I’d sleep though dinner
Now I smoke cigars 'cause I’m winning (Woo), and I smoked the competition (Woo)
And I’ve broken toes, and the trophies home, and I burns 'em all, no Smithers (Woo)
And I took crown and it's fittin' (Haha), and these bad apples got bitten
And these snowmen ain’t no men, bring a heatwave in this blizzard
If life's a bitch, I deciphered it, she wasn’t likin' Briggs, she’s bitter
Took time for that to get it wit' her, now she’s smiling back, she’s smitten
I don’t need to say I done did it, I brought you proof, and I fought for you
Triple XL medium, let’s say I got big visions
All these cookie cutters wanna sook and splutter, we’ll go to court, and I’ll bring my brother
He’ll represent and get ten percent and get a t-shirt for that innings
No eBay, keep these mates who are down to do my bidding
My head down and my guard up, and your mouth shut in my city
And I put this roof (Over ya head), and I spoke that truth (Over ya head)
Went from the futon to a foam mattress to the point where I never see my bed
One thing on my mind when I rest my head, one thing in my life I’d trade for death
I couldn’t give a fuck who ya favourite is, you want a taste of the real? Then savour this
And I don't know what famous is, I'm a country kid with a taste for kicks
And I kill this till brain desists, till I flip out like Kramer did
And I don’t care who your saviour is, when it's your time you’ll pay for this
And I owe this to the Cummera mish, when they walked off, they paved me this
They put the chains on our necks, and we're here, so what's next?
I'm gettin' paid for shows and that payment shows in this chain round my neck
It's more than that cheque, it's all that respect
You could do it for love, but that's hard to find when no one here is gettin' fed
So I do it like it's nothin, I hit the ground, I'm runnin'
My people proud, my friends around, but I'm sick of burying my cousins
I'm real sick of losin' my brothers who couldn't make it out of that gutter
A win for me is a win for them, I got more to lose than these others
A win for me is a win for them, I got more to lose than these others
And it might sound silly, but I feel guilty when I see their mothers
So a win for me is a win for them, I got more to gain than these others
And I felt the pain, and we needed change, so I bought it by the dozens
Victory was written by Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu & Flume & Briggs.
Victory was produced by Flume.
The mixtape version of “Victory” featured the commentary of K21 and Vents, who hosted the 2014 Golden Era Mixtape. Acting as intro and outro interludes, they read as follows:
[Interlude: K21]
Yeah, yeah. We got some brand new Briggs. Flume on production. Gurrumul on vocals. Set it off, Briggla.
