Jay-z History Lyrics

History Lyrics

[Chorus] (Jay-Z)

Now that all the smoke is gone (lighta)

And the
battle's finally won (gimme a lighta)

Victory is finally ours (lightas
up)

(lightas 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



[Chorus] (Jay-Z)

Now that all the
smoke is gone (lighta)

And the battle's finally won (lightas)

Victory is finally ours (yeah)

History so long so long (yeah)

(yeah) 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

Everybodys
had her, she's nothing like me

but success is all i got,
unfortunately

But i`m burning down the block 

I`ve been in it down
defeat

But something tells me that, there`s much more to see

Before
i get killed, cus i can`t get robbed

So before me, success and death
bandage

I gotta get lost, i gotta find free 

We gotta be together
to make history



[Chorus] (Jay-Z)

Now that all the smoke is
gone (lighta)

And the battle's finally won (lightas)

Victory is
finally ours (yeah)

History so long so long (yeah)

(yeah) So long,
so long





Now history is mine, it taste so sweet

She`s
my trophy wife, she coming with me

We have a baby who stutters`
repeatedly 

We name him history

He repeats 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 your 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 breath 

Long after i`m gone, long
after i breath 

I leave all i am, in the hands of history 

Bless my
last will testimony 

This is much more then a song

It`s a baby
shower, i`ve been waiting for this hour

History your ours. 



[Chorus] (Jay-Z)

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 x2
