My Victory

[Hook: Anna] I remember times when I never shined It was so hard to believe I didn't want to be lost in life I came out from underneath Felt the weight of the world crashing down on me And now I'm looking out...and it's my victory [Verse 1: Adverse] Failure comes in flavors I've tasted before I've felt the downfall, I felt my face on the floor Never any good at school, a fuck up yeah I said it Second to my brother cause he had talent in athletics The jagged puzzle piece trying to find his place That's why I rhyme today, picked up the Mic to say I got talent too its not just those kids They were good at something and I wasn't that's bullshit I was good at way more then I let them imply Most of us don't even know we got wings till we spread em to fly The world weighs a lot more sitting on your shoulders Praying it'll shift, at end of wits n my composure I've failed so many times and that's why I succeed today Work for what I have, winning wasn't in my DNA No easy way, but I'm here feeling so well Its funny I was nobody till I started being myself [Hook] [Verse 2: Hiatus] Living in a city surrounded by four walls Overanalytical role models magnifying your faults Trying to overcome my obstacles like pole vault In a city where the biggest dream is just to get out Hate my living conditions, education's worthless Why you think I fight for freedom with verses Potential riddled with curses, teens filling hearses Everyone too complacent to reverse it Do we deserve it, damn right we do Nothing that we do is worth turning a head to Trying to provide for a family I'm dead to Can't really blame them, they're trying to get ahead to Going broke over fighting foreclosure Hitting bankruptcy more than once over But if you check the bracket everybody picking me And sooner than you know it's going to be my victory [Hook] [Verse 3: Hiatus] Chasing ice seems impossible, chains improbable You see a nine to five as green, I see an obstacle Look at every purchase like "will this become profitable?" Investing my energy so every bar is proper dude Moving my feet to the beat, accomplishing feats Make dudes from the street obsolete Like, "Please, you really trying to run with me?" You a gimmick, even as an act you incomplete Talk like you woke up in a new Bugatti Think you dating the hottest hottie Ask me what I got me, honestly that's not me Never had to cop things, I actually got dreams Not get rich quick schemes, chasing a dime piece I prefer to find peace within a rhyme scheme Said it more than once, I'm here to make history And sooner than you know it's gonna be my victory [Hook X2]
