[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
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
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 visits me
|
I'll be stuck with a 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 brother of the 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 no body 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]
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
So now I'm flirting with death
|
Hustling like a g
|
When victory wasn't watching
|
Took chance 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
|
That's where I met success
|
We lived together shortly
|
Now success was like lust shes good to the touch
|
Shes good for the moment but shes never enough
|
Everybodys had her shes nothing like v
|
But success is all I got unfortunately
|
But I'm burning down the block
|
I been 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 monage
|
I gotta lost I gotta find v
|
We gotta be together to make history
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
Now victory is mine she tastes so sweet
|
Shes my trophy wife coming with me
|
We'll have a baby who stutters repeatedly
|
We'll name him history he'll repeat after me
|
Hes my legacy son of my hard work future of my past
|
Can explain who I be rate me amongst the greats either 1 2 3
|
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 you can take it when u leave
|
I wanna be remembered long after u 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 been waiting for this hour history your ours
|
|
[Chorus: Fade out]
|
