Common - Victorious lyrics

[Verse 1: Estelle] Don't you feel sometimes You don't work too hard to find Just an average piece of mind Just a little chance to shine Don't you feel sometimes When there's nowhere else to hide That's exactly bout the time That you pull from deep inside [Verse 2: Common] I went to New York with 4 days to close It's 6 million ways, I had more ways to floss Rose like Derrick on Chicago Bull Knew a couple of pushes, ask Chicago Bull But now it was time for the world to use it The big city lights I was lost in music The victorious, thinking big like notorious History of the warriors, get so glorious [Hook] So I made a way, and we changed the game So that we can say, and we'll stay like say We are victorious, victorious, we are victorious We are victorious, victorious, we are victorious And we say, yeah we say, we are victorious [Verse 3: Estelle] Don't you doubt that I I've been where you are yes I'm In the middle of my fight But I'm sure I'll get... (don't give up) Won't let them win, won't you worry they expecting I'mma get where I'm getting Step in my own directions [Verse 4: Common] Am I about the critics, for how I spit it Am I about the people, for how I live it Give, give it, the best that I've got I need a vacant lot, always cold They said I need to make it hot On the radio, I wasn't getting played a lot But somewhere in your hearts, y'all saved a spot Now I pose like mike when he made the shot Something the lord made, now we done made a lot [Hook]
