History |
| Now that all the smoke is gone, lighter |
| And the battle’s finally won, gimme a lighter |
| Victory is finally ours lighter’s up, lighter’s up |
| History so long, so long, so long, so long |
| In search of victory she keeps saluting me |
| If only we can 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 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 |
| The 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, lighter |
| And the battle’s finally won, lighter’s |
| Victory is finally ours |
| History so long, 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 street |
| I swear I met success, we lived together shortly |
| Now success was 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 |
| Hoping 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 menage |
| 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 lighter’s up |
| Victory is finally ours, lighter’s up |
| History so long, so long, so long, so long |
| Now Victory is mine, it taste so sweet |
| She’s my trophy wife, your 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 I’m a 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 in within weeks |
| Ain’t in it for the money, can’t take me 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 |
| 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 |
