Overcome
King Ly Chee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I WILL OVERCOME
To my vices I will not succumb
My Life my fight my way to change this life
I'm making a change today
Don't know how easy it'll be
Lived this life since I was fifteen
I gotta find that will in me
Need to take control of my life
No matter how hard I have to fight
This impacts those around me
For those I love I will change me
I will fight this with all of my heart and soul
This is my chance to take back control
No matter how hard this fight will be
I know that I will overcome
I WILL OVERCOME
To my vices I will not succumb
I will not go back again
I will stay and face this pain
Rid these poisons from my life
This stranglehold, no longer tight
I have friends by my side
I'm not alone in this fight
Moments like these with all of my might
I have to pass and I'll be alright
I will fight this with all of my heart and soul
This is my chance to take back control
No matter how hard this fight will be
I know that I will overcome
My life my fight my way – I need to start today
My life my fight my way – this is what's right for me
So much to lose so little time
This could change my life
So much to lose so little time
Grab the reigns and make it right




I WILL OVERCOME
To my vices I will not succumb

@kinglychee Hey Riz, bummer to hear King Ly Chee broke up. I saw you guys live at several places when I was an international student at high school in Hong Kong in the early 2000s. Always thought you guys were a great live band and you always came across as a really genuine guy. I used to love reading your website and the updates you put on there!
