[Pharrell]
I want it
Oh, I'm not even gonna lie (I want it)
It's an everyday dream, every sigh (I want it)
Even if it makes me cry (I want it)
I've got to have it or I'll die (I want it)
Does your family even care? (I want it)
Oh, did they tell you I'd be there? (I want it)
I've gotta get this for my team (I want it)
Just tell yourself this was my dream

[Hook]
Victory, I can smell it in the air
In my mind it surrounds me everywhere, errrre
But what a wondrous occasion, this could be (it would be)
In fact I know it will, 'cause this is my victory

[Pharrell]
I want it
This is something you can't buy (I want it)
Oh, don't you get it nothing else will satisfy? (I want it)
Even worse than someone that would lie (I want it)
But only a champion would qualify (I want it)
Oh, to be in the books of history (I want it)
Oh, look page one hundred, this is me (I want it)
They'll say I changed things officially (I want it)
And so these were the words to my speech

[Hook]
Victory, I can smell it in the air (in the air)
In my mind it surrounds me everywhere
But what a wondrous occasion, this could be
In fact I know it will, 'cause this is my victory

[Pharrell]
Oh, the limit's the sky
The limit is the sky
The limit is the sky
The limit is the sky
It's the sky
The limit is the sky
Ah, don't you be afraid!
SKYYYYYYYYYY!
The limit is the sky
The limit is the sky
The limit is the sky
Go for it, go forth and try
The limit is, the sky
Good luck

N.E.R.D

N.E.R.D. (officially stylized as NER*D, as seen on their covers) is a backronym that stands for No-One Ever Really Dies.

N.E.R.D. is a hip-hop and rock band whose members include Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, also known as The Neptunes, and Shae Haley. The band was formed as a side project by the Neptunes in 1999. Williams and Hugo had known each other since 1985 when they were 12, and they met Shae Haley a few years later in high school. Hugo and Williams signed a deal when they graduated high school in 1992 and eventually, Hailey joined them when N.E.R.D. was formed.

In September 2001 the band released their first album, In Search Of in Europe. They used digital production for the project but when they prepared for the worldwide release a year later they opted to re-record the album with a live funk rock band known as Spymob. Two years later in March of 2004, they released their second album, Fly or Die. Unfortunately, the two albums didn’t have nearly as much success as The Neptunes production work—collectively the two albums barely broke a million copies sold. In 2005 the group supposedly disbanded because of a dispute with Virgin Records, but Pharrell contradicted this claim in an April 2008
