Victory Lap

[Intro]
(Poetics, bring the drums in)

[Chorus]
It's time that I just face the fact
Feel like I'm running down my victory lap
Hit the lights 'cuz I ain't coming back
I think I'm running down my victory lap
I think it's time that I just face the fact
Feel like I'm running down my victory lap
Hit the lights 'cuz I ain't coming back
It's time to run down my victory lap

[Verse 1]
Feeling sorry for myself just like it's poor old me
Nobody needs no rapper that turned 43
Close the book up on this chapter throw away the key
Not sure what's coming next 'cuz this is all I see
RIP running out of words to speak
My wife is by my side but she needs more from me
I know my God has promised to supply my needs
But if I'm being honest that's getting hard to see
More of me less of you
I need to flip that up and just embrace the truth
Sometimes I wanna escape and be like what's the use
A lot of things just change from when you're 22
Going through these motions of what I'm called to do
I'm drowning in this ocean it's getting hard to move
'Cuz I just hold it in just when I'm rolling through
I'm falling in show me what to do

[Chorus]
It's time that I just face the fact
Feel like I'm running down my victory lap
Hit the lights 'cuz I ain't coming back
I think I'm running down my victory lap
I think it's time that I just face the fact
Feel like I'm running down my victory lap
Hit the lights 'cuz I ain't coming back
It's time to run down my victory lap

[Verse 2]
Now if I fell you never heard it would I make a sound
Behind the scenes well I can feel just like I'm breaking down
Feeling all alone at times just when I face the crowd
Dealing with these thoughts that cross my mind and take me down
I wanna make them proud maybe I should take a bow
Hit the lights and say goodnight and go fade on out
It's been that longest fight maybe I should throw the towel
Staring at them glowing lights just while I'm running down
Maybe I should wait it out feeling like I'm crazy now
Filled up with crazy doubt I'm flying down this crazy route
Depression running up (Running up) wants to chase me down (Chase me down)
Stuck its hand around my mouth and said don't make a sound
Then it looks me eye to eye wants to face me now
Maybe I should just go and lay it down
Change is coming but I don't wait around
Maybe I should just say nothing go and fade on out

[Chorus]
It's time that I just face the fact
Feel like I'm running down my victory lap
Hit the lights 'cuz I ain't coming back
I think I'm running down my victory lap
I think it's time that I just face the fact
Feel like I'm running down my victory lap
Hit the lights 'cuz I ain't coming back
It's time to run down my victory lap
