Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just wanna make history
Shot that boy he was dissing me
Shootin shit up it aint shit to me
We could hit that bitch up then epiphany
I dont even get mad i just sip the lean
I aint even gotta ask , they gon hit for me
I aint even gotta rap , i can flip this weed
I aint even gotta cap , they going to listen to me
He aint even have to rat , nigga snitched for free
I aint tryna hear you rap nigga hit the weed
I aint tryna double back nigga hit the scene
I aint tryna fuck that bitch heard she hit the team
Wont let her suck my dick heard that bitch was green
Heard that bitch a fiend
Wont let a bitch smoke cause they dont pass the weed
Ima let this bitch choke, all on my seed
Swear im done with these hoes , they cant admit a thing
I did so much wrong, yet i still succeed
Just Cant believe, niggas bumping me
How the fuck i get to this point , niggas envy me
I aint even tryna fuck , still gon bend for me
I aint tryna fold these bands , ima stack the cheese
I aint tryna post your mans , he aint hit for me
I aint tryna hit the gas , unless it start with a g
I aint tryna show no love , when i do it aint free
All the people around , what they doing for me ?
They aint doing shit they just smoke my weed
Aint forgot to mention , they just ask for things
Ask me for favors , i aint got it please
I aint gotta give you money , i got better things
You’d rather chase a high than my loyalty
& i wish i really had it , pay Zay lawyer fees
The dawgs automatic , gun and car the same thing
I just wanna make history
Shot that boy he was dissing me
Shootin shit up it aint shit to me
We could hit that bitch up then epiphany
I dont even get mad i just sip the lean
I aint even gotta ask , they gon hit for me
I aint even gotta rap , i can flip this weed
I aint even gotta cap , they going to listen to me




He aint even have to rat , nigga snitched for free
( Niggas snitchin for free )

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of A.O.S.'s song HISTORY reflect his ambition to make a name for himself and leave a mark on the world. He is unapologetic about his violent tendencies and boasts about his crew's loyalty and ability to do his bidding without question. A.O.S. also seems to have a disregard for women, referring to them as "bitch" and implying that they are disposable.


The line "the dawgs automatic, gun and car the same thing" suggests that A.O.S. and his crew are armed and dangerous, with the car as their getaway vehicle. The last line of the song, "niggas snitchin for free," shows A.O.S.'s disdain for turncoats and ratting.


Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a young man who is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even if it means resorting to violence and using others to get ahead.

"One of the best songs on the album, but also one of the most obscure. All these years later, the only clue to the origins of the track lies in the song credits for Wilbrandt, Buhlert, and Lovsky. Are those the members of A.O.S.? Fay Lovsky shed some light for me.
“Klaus Buhlert and I made this song together for a project,” she described over email. "He sent me the instrumental … I thought of a melody to sing and I wrote the words.“ Buhlert built the instrumental side partly by using loops of a recording session he produced for the 1991 album "Alone, For a Second,” a collection of Erik Satie compositions arranged by Thomas Wilbrandt. Buhlert gave a copy of “History (Repeats Itself)” to Wilbrandt as a thank you for use of his arrangements in the loops.

A few years later, Wilbrandt found himself in a position to submit an audition tape to Oliver Stone and Budd Carr for use in Natural Born Killers, and "History (Repeats Itself)” found its way onto that tape. Stone and Carr rejected the rest of Wilbrandt’s submissions, but loved the song. Despite having precious little to do with the song’s creation, Wilbrandt took ownership of the song and got it onto the soundtrack.

Buhlert was really the brain behind A.O.S., and had recorded a full album. Lovsky contributed vocals to a few other songs, but Wilbrandt had no other connection to it. Unfortunately for A.O.S., Lovsky explains, “Klaus’ project, involving cooperation with other artists besides me, didn’t seem to catch on with any record company."

This song has haunted me ever since I heard it in Natural Born Killers as a kid. There's something eerily timeless about it.

@callawolf531

Same here, though that's how I felt about a lot of the music in that film. It had a pretty haunting (as well as a little jarring) soundtrack as a whole.

@jasonpeters9865

Lol, whole damn soundtrack with movie is errie.
Was 17 when it came out on VHS, 1994. We use drop acid watch. Never viewed Rodney Dangerfield same after. One of those moments. Like 5 years earlier in 1989, saw "A Clockwork Orange" staying up late at slumber party when I was 12.

@callawolf531

@@jasonpeters9865   I feel the same about Rodney, after seeing him in NBK I always was like 'damn, I can't believe he was Mallory's dad.' First time I saw the film was in 2001 when I was 14, my older brother showed it to me. I found it to scary, but was super intrigued and ended up getting the Directors Cut on VHS. I ended up watching it a lot during high school because I ended up liking the chaotic nature of the filming.
