Now that all the smoke is gone (lighta)[00:00:00]
And the battle's finally won (gimme a lighta)[00:00:06]
Victory is finally ours (lightas up)[00:00:12]
(lightas up) History so long so long[00:00:17]
So long so long[00:00:20]
In search of victory she keeps saluting me[00:00:22]
If only we can be together momentarily[00:00:25]
We can make love and make history[00:00:26]
Why won't you visit me until she visit me[00:00:30]
I'll be stuck with her sister her name is defeat[00:00:33]
She gives me agony so much agony[00:00:36]
She brings me so much pain so much misery[00:00:39]
Like missing your last shot and falling to your knees[00:00:42]
As the crowd screams for the other team[00:00:45]
I practiced so hard for this moment victory don't leave[00:00:48]
I know what this means I'm stuck in this routine[00:00:51]
Whole new different day the same old thing[00:00:54]
All I got is dreams nobody else can see[00:00:57]
Nobody else believes nobody else but me[00:00:59]
Where are you victory I need you desperately[00:01:02]
Not just for the moment to make history[00:01:05]
Now that all the smoke is gone (lighta)[00:01:09]
And the battle's finally won (lightas)[00:01:15]
Victory is finally ours (yeah)[00:01:21]
History so long so long (yeah)[00:01:27]
(yeah) So long so long[00:01:30]
So now I'm flirting with death[00:01:31]
Hustling like a G while victory wasn't watching took chances repeatedly[00:01:33]
As a teenage boy before acne before I got proactive I couldn't face she[00:01:37]
I just threw on my hoody and headed to the street[00:01:43]
I swear I met success we lived together shortly[00:01:46]
Now success was like lust she's good to the touch[00:01:48]
She's good for the moment but she's never enough[00:01:51]
Everybodys had her she's nothing like me[00:01:54]
But success is all i got unfortunately[00:01:57]
But i`m burning down the block[00:01:59]
I`ve been in it down defeat[00:02:02]
But something tells me that there`s much more to see[00:02:03]
Before i get killed cus i can`t get robbed[00:02:06]
So before me success and death bandage[00:02:09]
I gotta get lost i gotta find free[00:02:12]
We gotta be together to make history[00:02:15]
Now that all the smoke is gone (lighta)[00:02:19]
And the battle's finally won (lightas)[00:02:25]
Victory is finally ours (yeah)[00:02:30]
History so long so long (yeah)[00:02:34]
(yeah) So long so long[00:02:39]
Now history is mine it taste so sweet[00:02:41]
She`s my trophy wife she coming with me[00:02:44]
We have a baby who stutters` repeatedly[00:02:47]
We name him history[00:02:49]
He repeats after me[00:02:51]
He`s my legacy son i`m a hard work[00:02:52]
Future of my past he`ll explain who i be[00:02:55]
Rank me among the greats[00:02:58]
Either 1 2 or 3 if i ain`t number one[00:03:00]
Then i failed your victory[00:03:02]
Ain`t in it for the fame that dies in within weeks[00:03:04]
Ain`t in it for the money can`t take me when you leave[00:03:07]
I wanna be remembered long after you breath[00:03:10]
Long after i`m gone long after i breath[00:03:12]
I leave all i am in the hands of history[00:03:15]
Bless my last will testimony[00:03:19]
This is much more then a song[00:03:21]
It`s a baby shower i`ve been waiting for this hour[00:03:23]
History your ours [00:03:26]
Now that all the smoke is gone[00:03:28]
And the battle's finally won[00:03:34]
Victory is finally ours[00:03:40]
History so long so long[00:03:46]
So long so long[00:03:49]
Now that all the smoke is gone[00:03:52]
And the battle's finally won[00:03:57]
Victory is finally ours[00:04:03]

So long so long[00:04:17]
