Charlie Wilson - In It To Win It Lyrics






I was born in Oklahoma, Tulsa Oklahoma
When I was a little boy I used to sing before my father preached
I wanted to love on everybody and hug on everybody and smile
But you know it was a time when there was still segregation and a lot of racism
You know here people called me names like lil' nigga boy and all that, man
When I got to college, I'll never forget, one of my professors told me
That I was goin' to be nothing in life and Imma end up in an ally
And I kinda ended up like that way, at least for a while
'Cause I did end up on the streets at one point in my life doin' drugs and alcohol

My story started, eh
Such a long time ago
Bruised up and scatted
Sometimes that seem impossible
Some said I was unable, yeah
I think they was afraid of what I can do
I never stopped believin', ah
I'm gonna see it all the way through, oh no

Don't tell me that I didn't want ya (want ya)
Like Kobe in the fourth quarter (quarter)
It ain't over till it's over (over)
Though I'm not backing down

'Cause I'm in it to win it
I'm gonna reach to the top
Nothing's gonna make me stop
Yes I'm in it to win it
Oh yeah, oh yeah (ooh)
Oh yeah, oh yeah
'Cause I'm in it to win it
There's a fire in release
So I'm giving it my everything
Yes I'm in it to win it
Oh yeah, oh yeah (ooh)
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Yes I'm (in it)
In it to (win it)
I'm not gonna (stop no)
Till I feel it

I see it in the distance, hey
Waiting for me like an open door
But more I get resistance
I swear I want it even more
I'm gonna be so grateful, so grateful
When I finaly get to you
'Cause I never stopped believin', no no
I'm gonna see it all the way through, oh yeah

Don't tell me that I didn't want ya (want ya)
Like Kobe in the fourth quarter (quarter)
It ain't over till it's over (over)
I'm not backing down

'Cause I'm in it to win it
I'm gonna reach to the top
Nothing's gonna make me stop
Yes I'm in it to win it
Oh yeah, oh yeah (ooh)
Oh yeah, oh yeah
'Cause I'm in it to win it
There's a fire in release
So I'm giving it my everything
Yes I'm in it to win it
Oh yeah, oh yeah (ooh)
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Yes I'm (in it)
In it to (win it)
I'm not gonna (stop no)
Till I feel it

And I know, the road is long
Yeah I know, the road is long
And I'm never givin' up
I ain't never givin' up
I know

'Cause I'm in it to win it
Nothing's gonna make me stop
Yes I'm in it to win it
Oh yeah, oh yeah (ooh)
Oh yeah, oh yeah
'Cause I'm in it to win it
There's a fire in release
So I'm giving it my everything
Yes I'm in it to win it
Oh yeah, oh yeah (ooh)
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Yes I'm (in it)
In it to (win it)
Yes I'm (in it)
I'm gonna win it
Yes I-I-I... I'm in it to win it
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

You know it's, it's been a, it's a roller coaster ride for me
But I'm having fun in my life and you know I learned one thing
My blessings come from God, my life has already been mapped out by God
So this is why I'm still here
I'm not going anywhere, I'm not quitting and I'm standing up
I'm standing tall, I'm goin' forward
Yeah, I'm in it to win it

    Did you see Charlie Wilson on last night’s PBS “An Opry Tribute to Ray Charles?” Amidst a cavalcade of stars, Charlie Wilson truly reigned supreme, delivering stunning, unforgettable performances of “Unchain My Heart” and “Cryin’ Time.” A whale of a talent who surely made us all, and especially Brother Ray 🕶, proud. Check out his CD “In It To Win It,” and see to it he continues to “win it” by seeing his shows & buying his songs, and by NEVER giving up on YOUR dream, either !!!!

  31. I.... G....

    Nobody is giving Charlie Wilson credit for he's music like wth!

    I.... G....

    It's only cause it's many people who are stuck on ignorance that's being put out in the world now. It's not much music based on love & happiness.

    I.... G....

    ItzGab Gab the best ones rarely do. People do not think for themselves they do what the industry tells them to think.

    I.... G....

    U c a lot of people g ok n on what's popular @ the time no sence of righteousness. Some people don't realize when they r going from spirit 2 flesh. Now that's a big problem real big. B cause those r the 1"s that r IGNORANT b yond their on b leaf. B cause they r following what's made popular by t the 1's that realize & know that they're going from spirit 2 flesh n their thinking of others & how they treat the 1's that r b ing lead like sheep 2 slaughter. That is the 1's that r going 2 hell that have already sold their soul & know & made a willing choice. The IGNORANT of God's grace as said above r b ing lead b cause they don't realize that & don't believe that 2 others they look like they're standing alone but r not because God is there with them.
    Some will say n a different perspective that Christ Jesus went 2 Calvary alone. But if U don't believe U can't discern God was there with Christ. Don't 4 get God made a covenant that He will not desert us. A lot of people don't understand that Christ was under the same covenant.
    God wouldn't leave His incarnated Self n the grave. So Believe & Stand
    with other Christians that believe worldwide.
    FOOD FOR THOUGHT GO FIGURE
    AMEN AMEN AMEN

    You da man charlie
