History

Now that all the smoke is gone (Lighter)

And the battle's finally won (Give me a lighter)

Victory is finally ours (Lighters up, lighters up)

History so loved, so long, so long, so long

In search of victory, she keeps eluding me

If only we could be together momentarily

We could 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've 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, but the same old thing

All I got is dreams, nobody else could 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 (Lighters)

Victory is finally ours

History so loved, 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 streets

I swear I met success, we lived together shortly

A 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, hopping in and out of V's

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 ménage

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 loved, so long, so long, so long

Now victory is mine, she tastes so sweet

She's my trophy wife, she's 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 one, two, or three

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, 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 loved, 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 loved, so long, so long, so long
