Текст песни No Defeat - Tori WhoDat

They told me tell my story
I'm just trying to tell it right
I could speak of all the glory
But I was humbled by the strife
Six kids in my family
So you know my momma crazy
And she put my ass to work
You can't ever call me lazy
Vivid words from my mouth
Couldn't properly paint the picture
Called pops for fatherly advice
But he just quoted scripture
Trenches to redemption
But who really lifted me up?
I dug deeper when I was down
And made a commitment to never give up
Oh, you know that we all go through it
If I say I'ma do it, I'ma do it
These are just lines and letters
If I don't show and prove it
So I'm letting go of doubts
And holding tight to music
Gripping this pen
Like this ink is my blood
Pouring passion onto the beat
Brewin' and cookin' so we can feast
In the last introduction - I said it - no retreat
Ain't a damn thing changed - bet on it - no defeat

We all go through it
We all go through it
If I say I'ma do it, I'ma do it
Stickin' to it, won't slow
As my story unfolds
Eyes on the prize
That's just how I see it
Resolution, revolution
No defeat, no defeat
There's a way
No defeat, no defeat
There's a way
No defeat, no defeat

Section 9 in the rough
Man, back then I wasn't much
I learned to outwork the competition
'Cause talent alone isn't enough
Words backed by action
I'm a part of the small fraction
Of those who choose to be bold
When the rest sell their souls
Oh, I know that we all go through it
Hearing harmonies then things aren't so congruent
No matter the flow though I always stay so fluent
I'm still building up everything they tried to ruin
Stuck with it when they didn't
I rose up on my own
Braved the storm, bloomed beautifully
Out the mud, I have grown
Once discouraged and depressed
They filled my head and heart with doubt
But I fought through
Found solace in myself
My battle cry is loud now!

We all go through it
We all go through it
If I say I'ma do it, I'ma do it
Stickin' to it, won't slow
As my story unfolds
Eyes on the prize
That's just how I see it
Resolution, revolution
No defeat, no defeat
There's a way
No defeat, no defeat
There's a way
No defeat, no defeat
No, no, no
No defeat (no, oh)
No defeat (no, no, no)
No defeat (no, oh)

My dreams compel me
Then reality overwhelms me
No way it's gonna happen for you
At least that's what they tell me
The means to the end gotta justify the dividends
They fiend for my end but I'm not giving in
I'm all in
No defeat - no, no, no
Yeah, I thought that I was finished
All my hope had been diminished
No defeat - no, no, no
Yeah, I am in it to win it
Trained and way past a scrimmage
Coach put me in the game
I'll leave my sweat on the court!
Final quarter, 4th and inches
Won't be coming up short
I may be little but I dream so big
I gave everything but up
When they expected me to quit

We all go through it
We all go through it
If I say I'ma do it, I'ma do it
Stickin' to it, won't slow
As my story unfolds
Eyes on the prize
That's just how I see it
Resolution, revolution
No defeat, no defeat
There's a way
No defeat, no defeat
There's a way
No defeat, no defeat
No, no, no
No defeat (no, oh)
No defeat (no, no, no)
No defeat (no, oh)

The tribulations are preparation
From your lowest points to your greatest triumphs
Every loss is a lesson and every win is a blessing
Everything could change in a moment
I can't control the universe
But I know that I got me regardless
We got us
It takes resilience and fortitude
From famine to feast
It's time to eat
