Jay-z - History lyrics

rate me

Now that all the smoke is gone

And the battle's finally won

Victory is finally ours

History so long so long so long

In search of victory she keeps *eluding* me

If only we can be together momentarily

We can make love and make history

Why won't you visit me

Until she visits 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 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 same old thing

All I got is dreams no body else can see

Nobody else believes nobody else but me

Where are you victory

I need you desperately

Not just for the moment to make history

So now I'm flirting with death

Hustling like a g

When victory wasn't watching

Took chance 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

That's where I met success

We lived together shortly

Now success was like lust shes good to the touch

Shes good for the moment but shes never enough

Everybodys had her shes nothing like v

But success is all I got unfortunately

But I'm burning down the block

I been in and out of v

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 monage

I gotta *get* lost I gotta find v

We gotta be together to make history

Now *victory* is mine she tastes so sweet

Shes my trophy wife coming with me

We'll have a baby who stutters repeatedly

We'll name him history he'll repeat after me

Hes my legacy son of my hard work future of my past

Can explain who I be rate me amongst the greats either 1 2 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 you can take it when u leave

I wanna be remembered long after *you* breathe

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 been waiting for this hour history your ours
