(Intro)
(Fast-paced shaker and a heavy log drum bass kick)
Dem say I no go make am…
(Laughs)
But look at me now!
It’s a victory something.
Oya, gbe bodi!
(Verse 1)
I started from the bottom, now I’m on the flight
Turning all my shadows into neon light
They were waiting for my fall, but I rose instead
Now the crown of glory’s sitting on my head.
No be by my power, no be by my might
Every single battle, I was born to fight
Now the table’s ready, come and see the grace
I’m the only runner in a different race.
(Pre-Chorus)
(Music builds up, claps on every second beat)
I survived the rain, I survived the fire
Now I’m taking everything higher and higher.
Oya, tell them! (Response: We winning!)
Oya, show them! (Response: We winning!)
(Chorus)
(Heavy log drum drops—this is the peak energy)
This is the victory song!
(Dance, dance!)
Everything I touch is gold, nothing can go wrong.
(Dance, dance!)
From the street to the palace, yeah we moving
Can’t you see the way that we are grooving?
Victory! (Response: Eh!)
Victory! (Response: Eh!)
We taking over, it’s a brand new day!
(Verse 2)
They used to call me “nobody,” now they call me “Boss”
I’m counting up the blessings, I don’t see the loss
The vision was blurry, now it’s crystal clear
I’ve conquered the worry and I’ve killed the fear.
Mo ti de, mo ti de (I have arrived)
Open up the gates, make the way wide
Everywhere we go, yeah we leave a mark
We are the lightning in the middle of the dark.
(Bridge)
(Beat strips back to just a hypnotic drum loop and a saxophone)
I see the trophies…
I see the medals…
I see the smiling faces.
No more crying, no more trying to fit in
Because we finally won.
(Chorus)
This is the victory song!
(Dance, dance!)
Everything I touch is gold, nothing can go wrong.
(Dance, dance!)
Victory! (Response: Eh!)
Victory! (Response: Eh!)
We taking over, it’s a brand new day!
(Outro)
(Fading out with a celebratory chant)
Champions!
Legendary!
We did it!
(Final loud drum hit)
