lyrics

VERSE 1
(I am Splendor, I am Victory…)
Word to the Notorious one
Share my name with Gloria's son and Essie Mae's
Stress these days but I'm Victorious son like King Jihad.
When things get hard remember...
(I’m Victory)
I am brilliance, luster and grander, the illest
With we don’t give a fuck on our banner but still spit
In such an illustrious manor. You f**k with it? Stand up!
(Of life I am the…)
I am renown, quality and prestige
Follow me I must lead
All of you to get free
Holler if you hear me (Yeah!)
I am end zone bound
Go and get your crown!
(I am splendor. I am…)
Determined to leave vermin on their knees burnin’
Deliver rhymes with a force that’ll leave the beat hurtin’
And we certain, these loafin’ ass rappers need learnin’
They want (victory) sucker MC keep searchin’

HOOK
Talk to myself ‘cause what I think matter most anyway
Listen real close hear me say…
(Everything you see is me) …true indeed!

VERSE 2
(I am Splendor, I am Victory…)
Baby this is me!
No humble pie, want the sweet taste of victory
After this will be…
My victory lap when I hit the speed
Then it is a wrap, it gets them mad.
It is a fact, my table cloth’s a checkered flag.
Eat my dust, here’s my nuts, hold them for me
As I sip sparkling cider from a golden trophy.
Big as Kanye ego! Huh, no s**t?!
And approximately the width of Beyonce’s hips
For beyond their s**t… in a league of my own.
But not what they meant, when they told me to leave’em alone.
Take a seat at the throne, ‘cause I embody richness,
Though I’m not the richest… (I am splendor. I am…)
Vicious as Mike Vick’s b**ches.
B**ches as in dogs, not b**ches as in y’all.
Sorry excuse for writers. No (victory)
Fool retire, who’s your sire!

HOOK

VERSE 3
(I am Splendor, I am Victory…)
I am nobility…
Poised it don’t get to me, voice of the century.
Avoid the penitentiary, turn noise to symphonies!
All love, peace and shea butter, alright, okay brother.
I’m tight… they f**k-ups for life
They mothers were right, tell’em to avoid me.
Pointless to fight, better to adore me.
‘Cause the dude is glory, elevatin’ the craft
Encore and applaud me while I make you look bad!
(Everything you see is me) I appreciate the compliment
And the vote of confidence! Uhn!
So the next drink’s on me.
“Christ, he’s nice!” is what Jesus thinks of me!
What would Stan do? Stan would win!
You could stand with him, if you were Stan with pens.
And a man would sin to reach heights beneath me
But I’d rather you defeat me then try to be me, believe me.
I represent greatness, brightness and cleverness.
So many words with “ness” my first name should be Elliott
But let me get back to the subject at hand…
(I am Splendor, I am Victory…)
YES!
