Victory

[Verse 1: Knox Hill]
Fading in infinite infamy
Lately my symptoms are entropy
Breaking down intimate tendencies
Any doubts [?] a memory
I’m just a victim of empathy
Enemies envy, pretending they’re friends to be
Sinners and symphonies
Playing me strings ‘til my heart bends in misery
Cupid is chemically bending me

Lost in phrases, costs I’ve paid
It crossed my pages, parted ways
Lost the ways [?]
I caught the hate, a lot to take
I pop the brakes, can’t stop the pain
And if I’m Bane, I’m bleeding out
I doubt they paint my name without the clout
The fame surrounds, I’m screaming out
They’re all so proud, but where were you when I was down?
But hey Knox, please slow down

[Verse 2]
Wading, I’m deeper in waters
Waiting, the breathing gets harder
Draining, I’m bleeding regardless
These sharks are all starving
They sleep where the heart is
They feed when the sleep on my dreams in the darkness
I’m falling regardless, my art is the heart of a Spartan’s

Now the work’s paying off
I’ve been on fire, but I never laid off
This is for all them days I would never take off
I’d pray to God, thinking he was way off
Then I stepped in the booth and I took that weight off
This is my confirmation
[?] that was dedication
[?] I was dead frustrated
But I set to make it, I reset the basics
And I bet my wages, I’m in debt and anxious
But I set the stages, and I paved the way to greatness
Love my day-ones
Still I say the same to haters, thank you for the strain
The pain has shaped me what I am today
[?] and changed the way I play the game
It’s safe to say [?] the fact I made it

Success is not a number (Nah)
Success is when we stumble (And fall)
It’s failure undercover (Stand tall)
And what we all discover’s (Resolve)
And everytime they tell us (We can’t)
We take that shirt right off of (Our backs)
Tell ‘em hold that tee because (We can)
There’s no apostrophes to our plans

[Chorus: Josh Schulze, Knox Hill]
Everytime they tell me I can’t make (I made it)
Everytime they [?] (I waived it)
Always knew someday they’d see my face (Let’s face it)
This my victory, my victory, success is sweet victory
Everytime they tell me I can’t make (I made it)
Everytime they [?] (I waived it)
Always knew someday they’d see my face (Let’s face it)
This my victory, my victory, success is sweet victory

[Verse 3: Knox Hill]
Sometimes I feel like I’m trapped
Caught inside of these laps
Caught inside of these plans I had
If only I could make back
Everything that I gave to this rap
Maybe one day escape from this app
Worried ‘bout likes and the platform I have
Instead of playing outside and just being a dad

My kids ground me, these haters drown me
This pain surrounding, but the wife I have
And this life at last, my better half
Despite giving half, is finally given back from my craft
All those nights I prayed to Christ, please stop, save my life
When my [?] to that pen and pad
I was [?] mad, pent up in the lab, spending all I have
But at last it’s paid off

[Chorus: Josh Schulze, Knox Hill]
Everytime they tell me I can’t make (I made it)
Everytime they [?] (I waived it)
Always knew someday they’d see my face (Let’s face it)
This my victory, my victory, success is sweet victory
Everytime they tell me I can’t make (I made it)
Everytime they [?] (I waived it)
Always knew someday they’d see my face (Let’s face it)
This my victory, my victory, success is sweet victory

[Outro: Josh Schulze]
Success is sweet victory
Success is sweet victory
Always knew someday they’d see my face
Success is sweet victory
