History
Jay-Z feat. Tony Williams Lyrics

Now that all the smoke is gone
The struggle is over and the obstacles that were hindering victory have disappeared.

And the battle's finally won
After a difficult journey, triumph has finally been achieved.

Victory (Lighters up) is finally ours
The celebration of success is now in order.

History so long so long
The journey to this achievement has been a long and difficult one.

In search of victory she keeps eluding me
Despite efforts, success seems to remain out of reach.

If only we could be together momentarily
The singer wishes for brief success in order to achieve their goals.

We can make love and make history
The singer wants to achieve success and create a moment in history that will be remembered.

Why won't you visit me? Until she visit me
The artist is asking success to come into their life so that they can achieve their goals.

I'll be stuck with her sister her name is defeat
If success is not achieved, the artist will be forced to deal with failure.

She gives me agony, so much agony
The pain of failure is overwhelming for the artist.

She brings me so much pain so much misery
Failure is a source of great pain and misfortune for the singer.

Like missing your last shot and falling to your knees
The feeling of defeat is like losing a crucial moment in a game that could have led to success.

As the crowd screams for the other team
Others are celebrating the success that was not achieved by the singer.

I practice so hard for this moment victory don't leave
The singer worked tirelessly to achieve success and pleads to not let it slip away.

I know what this means I'm stuck in this routine
The singer is aware of the effort that is required to achieve success and is committed to maintain it.

Whole new different day same old thing
Despite the work put in, each day feels like the previous unsuccessful ones.

All I got is dreams nobody else can see
The artist feels they are the only ones that can see and achieve their goals.

Nobody else believes, nobody else but me
There is a lack of support from others, but the singer remains committed to achieving their dreams.

Where are you victory? I need you desperately
The singer is in dire need of success to come into their life to achieve their goals.

Not just for the moment to make history
Success is needed for more than just the moment, but to make a long-lasting impact.

So now I'm flirting with death hustling like a G
The artist is taking dangerous risks in order to achieve success.

While victory wasn't watching took chances repeatedly
The artist is taking risks while success is not guaranteed, but they keep trying anyway.

As a teenage boy before acne before I got Proactiv I couldn't face she
The singer was not ready to confront success at a young age.

I just threw on my hoodie and headed to the street
The artist was more interested in the streets than working towards success.

That's where I met success we'd live together shortly
The singer found success for a short time before it disappeared once again.

Now success is like lust she's good to the touch
Success is fleeting and short-lived like a lustful encounter.

She's good for the moment but she's never enough
Although success is achieved, it is never enough for the singer.

Everybody's had her she's nothing like V
Success is something that is common to everyone, whereas the artist is striving for something more unique.

But success is all I got unfortunately
Despite the desire for more, success is all that the artist has in their current state.

But I'm burning down the block hoppin' in and out of V
Despite having success, the singer is willing to risk it all for something more.

But something tells me that there's much more to see
The singer believes there is more out there for them to achieve.

Before I get killed because I can't get robbed
The risks taken by the artist may eventually lead to their downfall.

So before me success and death menage
Success and death are intertwined, and the artist is balancing on the edge of that relationship.

I gotta get lost I gotta find V
The artist is searching for success to achieve their goals.

We gotta be together to make history
Success is required to make a lasting impact and achieve something memorable.

Now victory is mine it tastes so sweet
Success has finally been achieved and it is a fulfilling feeling.

She's my trophy wife you're coming with me
Success is something that the singer can be proud of and will always come with them.

We'll have a baby who stutters repeatedly
The legacy of the singer will continue through their children and their achievements.

We'll name him History he'll repeat after me
The singer hopes their child will achieve great things and repeat their success.

He's my legacy son of my hard work
The artist's child is a representation of their hard work and success.

Future of my past he'll explain who I be
The artist's child will continue their legacy and explain who they were to future generations.

Rank me amongst the greats either 1 2 or 3
The singer wants to be remembered as one of the greatest achievers of all time.

If I ain't number one then I failed you victory
To the singer, success means being ranked above all others.

Ain't in it for the fame that dies within weeks
The artist is not interested in fleeting fame that does not provide long-lasting impact.

Ain't in it for the money can't take it when you leave
Money is not the ultimate goal for the artist as it cannot be taken when they are gone.

I wanna be remembered long after you grieve
The artist wants to be remembered long after they are gone and after their loved ones have mourned.

Long after I'm gone long after I breathe
The singer's legacy will live on long after they have passed.

I leave all I am in the hands of history
The artist wants their legacy and achievements to be left in the hands of history for future generations to remember.

That's my last will and testimony
The legacy and achievements of the singer will serve as their final will and testament.

This is much more than a song it's a baby shower
The song serves as a symbol of birth and creation of something new and impactful.

I've been waiting for this hour history you ours
The singer has been waiting for this moment in order to achieve success and make history.

Now that all the smoke is gone
The obstacles that were hindering success have been overcome.

And the battle's finally won
After a long struggle, victory has been achieved.

Victory is finally ours
The singer and those involved in the journey to victory can now celebrate their achievement.

History so long so long
The journey to achieve success and make history has been a long and difficult one.

So long so long
The long and difficult journey has been overcome and the artist can now celebrate their success and achievement.
