Jay-Z - History
I know this track been floating for a few days- I still had to post it cause its JAY and I love the track. Check it out here.
I had to post the lyrics - cause I thought they were deep as per usual from Jay
Chorus:
now that all the smoke is gone (lighter)
and the battles finally won (give me a lighter)
victory is finally ours(lighters up)
history so long so long so long so long
verse:1
in search of victory, she keeps saluting me
if only we could be together momentarily
we could make love, and make history
why wont you visit me, until she visit me
i be stuck with her sister, her name is defeat
she give me agony, so much agony
she bring me so much pain so much misery
like missin ya last shot, and fallin to ya knees
as the crowd screams, for the other team
i pracitce so hard for this moment victory dont leave
i know what this means, im stuck in this routine
whole new different day, same old thing
all i got is dreams, nobody else can see
nobody else believes, nobody else but me
where are you victory, i need you desperatly
not just for the moment, to make history
Chorus:
now that all the smoke is gone (lighters)
and the battles finally won (lighters)
victory is finally ours (yeah) (yeah)
history so long so long so long so long
Verse:2
so now im flirting with death, hustlin like a g
while vicotry wasnt watching, took chances repetedly
as a teenage boy, before acne
before i got proactive, i couldnt face she
i just threw up my hoodie, and headed to the streets
thats where i met success, we lived together shortly
and success is like lust, she's good to the touch
she's good for the moment, but she's never enough
everybody's had her, she's nothing like V
but success is all i got, unfortunatly
but im burning down the block, i been in and out of the
but something tells me, that theres much more to see
before i get killed, cause i cant get robbed
so before me, success and death monage
i gotta get lost, i gotta find V
we gotta be together, to make history
Chorus:
now that all the smoke is gone (lighters up)
and the battles finally won (lighter up)
victory is finally ours (lighters up)
history so long so long so long so long
Verse:3
now victory is mine, tastes so sweet
she's my trophy wife, coming with me
we'll have a baby, who stutters repetedly
we'll name him history, he'll repete after me
he's my legacy, son of my hardwork
future of my past, he'll explain who i be
rank me amongst the greats, either one, two, or three
if i aint number one, then i failed you victory
aint in it for the fame, that dies within weeks
aint in it for the money, cant take it when you leave
i wanna be remembered, long after you breathe
long after im gone, long after i breathe
i leave all i am, in the hands of history
thats my last will, testimony
this is much more than a song, its a baby shower
i been waitin for this hour, history your ours
Chorus:x2
now that all the smoke is gone
and the battles finally won
victory is finally ours
history so long so long so long so long
