Jay-z - History lyrics

Now that all the smoke is gone (Lighter) And the battle's finally won (Gimme a lighter) Victory (Lighters up) is finally ours (Lighters up) History so long so long So long, so long In search of victory she keeps eluding me If only we could be together momentarily We can make love and make history Why won't you visit me? Until she visit 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 practice 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 nobody 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 Now that all the smoke is gone (Lighters) And the battle's finally won (Lighters) Victory is finally ours History (yeah) so long so long So long so long So now I'm flirting with d**h hustling like a G While victory wasn't watching took chances repeatedly As a teenage boy before acne before I got Proactiv I couldn't face she I just threw on my hoodie and headed to the street That's where I met success we'd live together shortly Now 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 unfortunately But I'm burning down the block hoppin' in and out of V But something tells me that there's much more to see Before I get k**ed because I can't get robbed So before me success and d**h menage I gotta get lost I gotta find V We gotta be together to make history Now that all the smoke is gone (Lighters. Up.) And the battle's finally won (Lighter. Up.) Victory is finally ours (Lighters. Up.) History so long so long So long so long Now victory is mine it tastes so sweet She's my trophy wife you're 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 and testimony This is much more than a song it's a baby shower I've been waiting for this hour history you ours Now that all the smoke is gone And the battle's finally won Victory is finally ours History so long, so long So long, so long Now that all the smoke is gone And the battle's finally won Victory is finally ours History so long, so long So long, so long
