Victory Lyrics

[Verse 1: Pharrell]
I want it
Oh, I'm not even gonna lie (I want it)
It's an everyday dream, every sigh (I want it)
Even if it makes me cry (I want it)
I've got to have it or I'll die (I want it)
Does your family even care? (I want it)
Oh, did they tell you I'd be there? (I want it)
I've gotta get this for my team (I want it)
Just tell yourself this was my dream

[Hook]
Victory, I can smell it in the air
In my mind it surrounds me everywhere, errrre
But what a wondrous occasion, this could be (it would be)
In fact I know it will, 'cause this is my victory

[Verse 2: Pharrell]
I want it
This is something you can't buy (I want it)
Oh, don't you get it nothing else will satisfy? (I want it)
Even worse than someone that would lie (I want it)
But only a champion would qualify (I want it)
Oh, to be in the books of history (I want it)
Oh, look page one hundred, this is me (I want it)
They'll say I changed things officially (I want it)
And so these were the words to my speech
[Hook]
Victory, I can smell it in the air (in the air)
In my mind it surrounds me everywhere
But what a wondrous occasion, this could be
In fact I know it will, 'cause this is my victory

[Pharrell Outro]
Oh, the limit's the sky
The limit is the sky
The limit is the sky
The limit is the sky
It's the sky
The limit is the sky
Ah, don't you be afraid!
SKYYYYYYYYYY!
The limit is the sky
The limit is the sky
The limit is the sky
Go for it, go forth and try
The limit is, the sky
Good luck

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
