The Rematch

Lyrics

[Intro] It's always in those moments of defeat When they try to grab your attention (You want it all, don't you?) When they point out how weak you are And try to get you on their side (You're safer here than any place else) And then when they're unsuccessful They get mad And say things that'll belittle your character (You'll slip up one of these days) There will always be moments when you fail But it's the next moment that defines who you really are Yeah [Verse One] I acknowledge when I lose one, I'm motivated to go win again Back up on my feet, and I intend, to show you I work for the guy within They wanna tell me all they strategies, but I don't know homie, it depends Cause God's first in my playbook, and that's the only play I recommend! I put all my anger in back of me And started praying for the people that told me that I wouldn't make it Now they are now longer attached to me I'm a different kinda althlete Now I wrestle for the real prize, not the number on the check The one that said "I ain't done breathing," even after they brought him to death I'm in the champion's section, finally made the connection I wish that I started rapping in '99, when they dropped the Aggression I am a combo of Eddie Guerrero and Nakamura on the stage They tried to put me a cage, but I've been too busy just breaking the chains 107 in the Psalms, boy, got a story, I'mma tell it I just cook it in the song, boy, come and tell me if you smell it I've been defeated, I gave it a moment and then I proceeded To point out the problem, and never repeat it Now I know the power that's never depleted God! [Hook] Yeah, you might've won once But, you ain't know this was a battle You ain't know this was a battle But, you ain't know this was a battle Yeah, you might've won once But, you don't wanna keep a score Cause I'm on the winning side On the winning side (Oh Lord, My Lord!) I'mma come back boy! (x2) Yeah, you might've won once But, you don't wanna keep a score Cause I'm on the winning side On the winning side (Oh Lord, My Lord!) [Verse Two] For a second I thought I ain't belong, I took a moment for the pause Got it back together, started working on my flaws, but I ain't seeking your applause I'm just tryna be a locomotive for the household, yeah, I know it's for our betterment Cause I know I don't measure up... so I give glory to the measurement (ha, what?) My God is providing His hands, and it don't matter who the challenger My God is aware of the plan, even if I ain't got it on the calendar I'm blessed from my head to my knees, it's something different on my feet Cause I gotta trailblaze, I'm the fireman, 500 degrees I remember thinking I would never be the guy to walk into the Church with a message Now I see the world is full of aggression, somebody has to address all the wreckage First time, I was knocked down, second, third time, I was blocked out But I'm in a tag-team, so I swapped out... 'Cause y'all finna know what my God's bout! I've got blood, flowing, all in my body, I was living like I was made up of kerosene Now that, God is with me, I'm alive, and I'm ready for the fight, that's a guarantee I've been defeated, I gave it a moment and then I proceeded To point out the problem, and never repeat it Now I know the power that's never depleted God! [Hook] Yeah, you might've won once But, you ain't know this was a battle You ain't know this was a battle But, you ain't know this was a battle Yeah, you might've won once But, you don't wanna keep a score Cause I'm on the winning side On the winning side (Oh Lord, My Lord!) I'mma come back boy! (x2) Yeah, you might've won once But, you don't wanna keep a score Cause I'm on the winning side On the winning side (Oh Lord, My Lord!)
