Jay-Z - History Lyrics
[Chorus: Cee-lo]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 longSo long, so long[Verse 1: Jay-Z]In search of victory, she keeps eluding meIf only we could be together momentarilyWe can make love and make historyWhy won't you visit me? until she visit meI'll be stuck with her sister, her name is defeatShe gives me agony, so much agonyShe brings me so much pain, so much miseryLike missing your last shot and falling to your kneesAs the crowd screams for the other teamI practice so hard for this moment, victory don't leaveI know what this means, I'm stuck in this routineWhole new different day, same old thingAll I got is dreams, nobody else can seeNobody else believes, nobody else but meWhere are you victory? I need you desperatelyNot just for the moment, to make history[Chorus: Cee-lo]Now that all the smoke is gone(Lighters)And the battle's finally won(Lighters)Victory is finally ours(Yeah)History (yeah), so long, so longSo long, so long[Verse 2: Jay-Z]So now I'm flirting with death, hustling like a GWhile victory wasn't watching took chances repeatedlyAs a teenage boy before acne, before I got proactiv I couldn't face sheI just threw on my hoodie and headed to the streetThat's where I met success, we'd live together shortlyNow success is like lust, she's good to the touchShe's good for the moment but she's never enoughEverybody's had her, she's nothing like VBut success is all I got unfortunatelyBut I'm burning down the block hoppin' in and out of VBut something tells me that there's much more to seeBefore I get killed because I can't get robbedSo before me success and death mйnageI gotta get lost, I gotta find VWe gotta be together to make history[Chorus: Cee-lo]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 longSo long, so long[Verse 3: Jay-Z]Now victory is mine, it tastes so sweetShe's my trophy wife, you're coming with meWe'll have a baby who stutters repeatedlyWe'll name him history, he'll repeat after meHe's my legacy, son of my hard workFuture of my past, he'll explain who I beRank me amongst the greats, either 1, 2, or 3If I ain't number one then I failed you victoryAin't in it for the fame that dies within weeksAin't in it for the money, can't take it when you leaveI wanna be remembered long after you grieveLong after I'm gone, long after I breatheI leave all I am in the hands of historyThat's my last will and testimonyThis is much more than a song, it's a baby showerI've been waiting for this hour, history you ours[Chorus: Cee-lo (2x)]Now that all the smoke is goneAnd the battle's finally wonVictory is finally oursHistory, so long, so longSo long, so long
