[G]Now t[G]hat all[F] the sm[F]oke is[D] gone([D]lighter[C])      [C]             [C]
[G]And t[G]he batt[F]le fina[F]lly wo[D]n(give[D] me a l[C]ighter)[C]       [C]
[G]Victo[G]ry`s fi[F]nally o[F]urs (l[D]ighter[D]s up, l[C]ighters[C] up)   [C]      [F]        [Em]           [D]

[G]In se[G]arch of[F] victor[F]y, she[D] keeps[D] it    [C]           [C]                 [C]
If only we could be together momentarily
We could make love, and make history
Why won`t you visit me, until she visits me
I`ll be stuck with a sista, her name is defeat
She gives me agony, so much agony
She brings me so much pain
[G]So mu[G]ch mise[F]ry, lik[F]e miss[D]ing yo[D]ur last[C] shot  [C]        [C]
And fall to your knees .
[G]As th[G]e crowd[F] scream[F]s, for[D] the o[D]ther te[C]am     [C]            [C]               [F]                 [Em]                    [D]
[G]I pra[G]ctice s[F]o hard [F]for th[D]is mom[D]ent vic[C]tory do[C]n`t le[C]ad
I know what this means, i`m stuck in this routine
Whole new different day, but the same old things
All i got is dreams, but nobody else could see
Nobody else believe, nobody else but me
Where are you victory, i need you desperately
[G]Not j[G]ust for[F] the mo[F]ment. [D]to mak[D]e histo[C]ry     [C]            [C]               [F]                 [Em]                    [D]
[G]Now t[G]hat all[F] the sm[F]oke is[D] gone([D]lighter[C])      [C]            [C]
And the battle finally WON (lighters)
[G]Victo[G]ry`s fi[F]nally o[F]urs (y[D]ea, ye[D]a, yea)[C]       [C]              [C]                 [F]                   [Em]                      [D]
[G]Histo[G]ry so l[F]oved, s[F]o long[D], so l[D]ong, so[C] long&

(jay-z, verse)
[G]So no[G]w i`m f[F]lirting[F] with [D]death [D]        [C]               [C]
Hustla like a cheat, while victory wasn`t watching
Took chances repeatedly
As a teenage boy, before acne
Before i got proactive, i couldn`t face sheet
I just threw on my hoodie and headed to the streets
I swear i met success, we lived together shortly
A success is like lust, witch is good for the touch
[G]Witch[G] is goo[F]d for t[F]he mom[D]ent, b[D]ut she`[C]s never[C] enough[C]   [F]     [Em]        [D]
[G]Every[G]body`s [F]had her[F], she`[D]s noth[D]ing lik[C]e me   [C]
A 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, cos 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)
[G]Now t[G]hat all[F] the sm[F]oke is[D] gone [D](lighte[C]rs up) [C]
And the battle finally WON(lighter up)
Victory`s finally ours (lighters up)
History so loved, so long, so long, so long&

(jay-z, verse)
[G]Now h[G]istory [F]is mine[F], it t[D]aste s[D]o sweet[C]       [C]
She`s my trophy wife, she commin 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 10 weeks
Ain`t in it for the money, can`t take me when you live
I wanna be remembered long after you breath
Long after i`m gone, long after i breath
I live 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.
