Forrest Frank – NO L’s Lyrics
[Intro]
We ain’t taking no- (Taking no, taking no)
Ayy, ayy, ayy, yeah
We ain’t taking no- (Taking no, taking no)
Woo, yeah, ayy, ayy
[Chorus]
We ain’t taking no L’s
No, no, no, no, no
Saints breaking out of cells
Go, go, go, go, go
The battle’s been won
He said it, it’s done
So we ain’t taking no L’s (No)
We ain’t taking no L’s (Haha)
[Verse 1]
We seeing W’s all in the chat
This like a home run straight off of the bat
Lion of Judah, the cat out the bag
I can’t dilute it, I’m bringing the facts, like
[Pre-Chorus]
I was lost, but now I’m found
Trapped in darkness ’til You came around
Broken chains are falling to the ground
[Chorus]
We ain’t taking no L’s
No, no, no, no, no
Saints breaking out of cells
Go, go, go, go, go
The battle’s been won
He said it, it’s done
So we ain’t taking no L’s (No)
We ain’t taking no L’s (Hey)
[Verse 2]
We ain’t taking no L’s
The victory is already won
Three days in the ground
And the kingdom had come
Why just wait around when He told you to run?
Told you to run
[Pre-Chorus]
Run the race at the pace that you’re supposed to
Breakthrough, man, there’s nothing that He won’t do
Broken chains are falling to the ground
[Chorus]
We ain’t taking no L’s
No, no, no, no, no
Saints breaking out of cells
Go, go, go, go, go
The battle’s been won
He said it, it’s done
So we ain’t taking no L’s (No)
We ain’t taking no L’s
Ayy

We ain’t taking no L’s
We ain’t taking no L’s
We ain’t taking no L’s
We ain’t taking no L’s
We ain’t taking no L’s
We ain’t taking no L’s
