I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

I wish today it will rain all day
Maybe that will kinda make the pain go away
Trying to forgive you for abandoning me
Praying but I think I’m still an angel away
Angel away, yeah strange in a way
Maybe that is why I chase strangers away
They got their guns out aiming at me
But I become Neo when they aiming at me
Me, me, me against them
Me against enemies, me against friends
Somehow they both seem to become one
A sea full of sharks and they all smell blood
They start coming and I start rising
Must be surprising, I’m just surmising
Win, thrive, soar, higher, higher, higher
More fire

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

Everybody wanna try to box me in
Suffocating every time it locks me in
Paint they own pictures than they crop me in
But I will remain where the top begins
Cause I am not a word, I am not a line
I am not a girl that can ever be defined
I am not fly, I am levitation
I represent an entire generation
I hear the criticism loud and clear
That is how I know that the time is near
So we become alive in a time of fear
And I aint got no muthafucking time to spare
Cry my eyes out for days upon days
Such a heavy burden placed upon me
But when you go hard your nay’s become yay’s
Yankee Stadium with Jay’s and Kanye’s

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

Get ready for it
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
I came to win
Get ready for it
Get ready for it
I came to win
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly
To fly

this is so beautiful! oh my gosh I want to cry I love this vid so much. It's everything I have ever loved about Leslie Knope, and I love a LOT of things about Leslie Knope. Oh wow oh wow. I love this to pieces; I know I'll watch it many many times. AMAZING.

[semielliptical]

YAY!! Leslie!! Fantastic portrait. :)

[sprat]

Oh, this is AWESOME. ♥__♥

I love Leslie Knope. This is a wonderful compilation of *why*.

(The match of "conquer" on one of the murals gave me chills...)

[foursweatervests]

Amazing, amazing, and totally Leslie. It's just beautiful; I've already watched it four times and I'm still finding things to love.

[revolutionaryjo]

So good! I need to see this show!

[leanwellback]

I've been thinking about getting into this show recently and this has just sealed the deal :D Gorgeous vid!

[scintilla10]

this is just outstanding, omg. I love it. Excellent work!

[inkjunket]

So so lovely! What a great Leslie vid -- I can't wait to watch it again and again.

[chaila]

KNOPE 2012!!! God I love this. I love Leslie Knope so much and this is just a fantastic study of her, how much she wants and how hard she wants and how hard she works for it. Leslie Knope takes working piggyback rides, and if that isn't why I love her then I don't know what is. She makes me want to cheer, and maybe cry just a little in that way that's good, and so does this. :)

[were_duck]

This is really cool, it makes me want to watch this show a lot now :D

[livrelibre]

I've got nothing but Leeeslieeee!

[skygiants]

Aw, Leslie! Oh, this is delightful.

[cold_river_blue]

Oh, this is so awesome! I LOVE all the Pawnee murals, those things are so awful:) Really sweet and funny and uplifting, and all things Leslie!

[summerstorm]

What a FANTASTIC way to celebrate Leslie Knope and her awesomeness and her love for her friends and for Pawnee. This was beautiful and I enjoyed it enormously.

[bop_radar]

This was strangely moving... I hope this Leslie is a good and wonderful person because I want her to WIN DAMN IT!!!!! (never seen the source)
