Victory Is My Name Deluxe

[Intro] (Low orchestral swell building…) (JP – spoken, slow, deep) There were days I didn’t think I’d make it… Nights where the silence cut deeper than the blade. Times where the world said I was done… but the fire inside whispered: “Rise anyway.” (Astra – patois, echoing like a spirit) Rise, youth… destiny never abandon yuh. Storm test yuh… but yuh spirit stronger dan di pain. (JP) I walked through hell with my chest open… I walked through darkness with no map… And somehow— somehow I became the man I prayed to be. (Astra) Victory dwell inside yuh name from di day yuh born, youth… (JP – final monologue line) So hear me now: **Victory… is my name.** [Choir Intro] (Choir – powerful) OHHHHH— Victory… victory… is… my… name… (Soprano soaring) Ahhhhhhhhh— rise again… [Hook] (JP – melodic, strong) I walked through fire, but it couldn’t change me— storms hit hard, but the storms couldn’t break me. From the ashes of pain to the throne God gave me— stand tall, chest high… **victory is my name.** (Choir – behind) Victory… victory… is… my… name… [Verse 1] (JP) I rose from the dirt with a warrior’s heart, built from the cracks where the world fell apart. Lost who I was, had to rebuild from the start— pain made the man, but God shaped the art. Nights had me broken, but I kept movin’ forward, doubts in my chest made my heartbeat distorted. But destiny whispered the truth I ignored: “Kings not born— they survive until they’re forged.” (Astra – patois) Yuh forged in fire… dat’s why yuh glow bright, youth. [Interlude 1] (Soprano – airy) Ahhhhh… rise… rise… (Choir) Victory… victory… [Verse 2] (JP) I’m not who I was, I’m the man God refined, left the chains on the ground, left the fear far behind. Every battle I fought—every wound redefined— the meaning of faith carved in bone and spine. (Astra – patois) When di world seh “stop,” yuh seh “more life.” When di night get dark, yuh become di light. (JP) The storm didn’t take me—it taught me to stand, I bend but don’t break, I move by God’s hand. My past ain’t a prison—it’s part of the plan— I’m a king made of dust who became a new man. [Hook Repeat] (JP) I walked through fire, but it couldn’t change me— storms hit hard, but the storms couldn’t shake me. From the ruins I rose with the strength God gave me— hands raised to the sky… **victory is my name.** (Choir) Victory… victory… is… my… name… [Interlude 2] (No lyrics — strings, brass, timpani, choir pads rising) [Verse 3] (JP) Look how far we came—me and Astra in the night, two souls carved from battle, two flames born to f***t. Built from broke days, heartbreak, street fright— now we shine so strong that we terrify the night. Old ghosts try to whisper but we long outgrew ’em, old fears try return but we walk straight through ’em. We ain’t kings ’cause we perfect— we kings ’cause we knew ’em— and still chose light… while the shadows never knew Him. (Astra – patois) Victory live inside yuh chest, youth… di crown was always yuh destiny. [Final Hook] (JP + Choir + Soprano) I walked through fire, but the flames couldn’t claim me— storms hit hard, but the storms couldn’t tame me. From the shadows I rise with the strength God gave me— kneel down, stand tall… **victory is my name.** (Choir loud) VIC-TO-RY… VIC-TO-RY… IS… MY… NAME… [Outro] (Choir – fading) Victory… victory… is… my… name… (JP whisper) And now… the world will know it too.
