[JAY-Z, The World Famous Tony Williams - History lyrics]
Now that all the smoke is gone (lighter)
And the battle's finally won
(give me a lighter) victory’s finally ours
(Lighters up, lighters up)
History so loved, so long, so long, so long
In search of victory, she keeps eluding me
If only we could be together momentarily
We could make love, and make history
Why won’t you visit me, until she visit's me
I’ll be stuck with her sister
Her name is defeat
She gives me agony, so much agony
She brings me so much pain, so much misery
Like missing your last shot and
Falling to your knees
As the crowd screams, for the other team
I've practiced so hard for this
Moment victory don’t leave
I know what this means
I’m stuck in this routine
Whole new different day
But the same old things all I got is dreams
But nobody else could see
Nobody else believes, nobody else but me
Where are you victory? I need you desperately
Not just for the moment, to make history
Now that all the smoke is gone (lighter)
And the battle's finally won
(give me a lighter) victory’s finally ours
(Lighters up, lighters up)
History so loved, so long, so long, so long
So now I’m flirting with death
Hustling like a G
While victory wasn’t watching
Took chances repeatedly
As a teenage boy, before acne
Before I got proactive, I couldn’t face she
I just threw on my hoodie
And headed to the streets
I swear I met success
We lived together shortly
A success is like lust
She's good for the touch
She's good for the moment
But she’s never enough
Everybody’s had her, she’s nothing like V
A success is all I got, unfortunately
But I’m burning down the block
Hopin' in and out of V's
But something tells me that there’s
Much more to see
Before I get killed, cause I can’t get robbed
So before me, success and death ménage
I gotta get lost, I gotta find V
We gotta be together to make history
Now that all the smoke is gone (lighter)
And the battle's finally won
(give me a lighter) victory’s finally ours
(Lighters up, lighters up)
History so loved, so long, so long, so long
Now victory is mine, she tastes so sweet
She’s my trophy wife, she's coming with me
We'll have a baby who stutters repeatedly
We'll name him history, he'll repeat after me
He’s my legacy, son of my hard work
Future of my past, he’ll explain who I be
Rank me amongst the greats, either 1, 2 or 3
If I ain’t number one then
I failed you victory
Ain’t in it for the fame
That dies within weeks
Ain’t in it for the money
Can’t take it when you leave
I wanna be remembered long after you grieve
Long after I’m gone, long after I breathe
I leave all I am, in the hands of history
That's my last will testimony
This is much more than a song
It’s a baby shower
I’ve been waiting for this hour, history
You're ours
And the battle's finally won
(give me a lighter) victory’s finally ours
(Lighters up, lighters up)
History so loved, so long, so long, so long
In search of victory, she keeps eluding me
If only we could be together momentarily
We could make love, and make history
Why won’t you visit me, until she visit's me
I’ll be stuck with her sister
Her name is defeat
She gives me agony, so much agony
She brings me so much pain, so much misery
Like missing your last shot and
Falling to your knees
