The Rematch
by Josiah Williams

Album: The True Gold


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!)
