History by Jay-Z Album: Blueprint 3 CHORUS: Now that all the smoke is gone, (lighter) and the battle's finally won, (gimme ya lighta) (lighter's up) Victory is finally ours, History so long, so long...so long, so long Verse 1: In search of victory,she keeps eludin me, If only we could be together momentarily, We can 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 gives me agony, so much agony, She brings 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 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 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 CHORUS: Now that all the smoke is gone, (lighter) and the battle's finally won, (lighters!) Victory is finally ours (yea), History so long, so long...so long, so long Verse 2: So now I'm flirtin' with death, hustlin' like a G, While victory wasn't watchin, took chances repeatedly, As a teenage boy, before ag-ny, before I got proactive, I couldn't face sheet, I just threw on my hoodie, and headed to the street I swear a mess success would live together shortly, Cuz 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 nothin' like V, But success is all I got, unfortunately, But I'm burnin' down the block, hoppin' in and out of V, But somethin' tells me that it's much more to see, Before I get killed, cause I can't get robbed, So before me success & death menage , 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 battle's 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, she taste so sweet, She's my trophy wife, comin' wit 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 #1, then I failed you victory, Ain't in it for the fame, that dies within weeks, Ain't in 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 been waitin for this hour, history you're ou-rs! CHORUS: 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 Repeat CHORUS Rap music lyrics compiled by MC
