Jay-Z - History

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 hoody 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 [ Jay-Z Lyrics are found on ] 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 ménage 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 history 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 among 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 breathe 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
