[Chorus: Cee-lo]

Now that all the smoke is gone

(Lighter)

And the battle's finally won

(Gimme a lighter)

Victory (Lighters up) is finally ours

(Lighters up)

History so long so long

So long so long

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]

In search of victory she keeps eluding me

If only we could be together momentarily

We can make love and make history

Why won't you visit me? until she visit me

I'll be stuck with her 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 for the other team

I practice 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 nobody 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: Cee-lo]

Now that all the smoke is gone

(Lighters)

And the battle's finally won

(Lighters)

Victory is finally ours

(Yeah)

History (yeah) so long so long

So long so long

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]

So now I'm flirting with death hustling like a G

While victory wasn't watching took chances repeatedly

As a teenage boy before acne before I got proactiv I couldn't face she

I just threw on my hoodie and headed to the street

That's where I met success we'd live together shortly

Now success is like lust she's good to the touch

She's good for the moment but she's never enough

Everybody's had her she's nothing like V

But success is all I got unfortunately

But I'm burning down the block hoppin' in and out of V

But something tells me that there's much more to see

Before I get killed because I can't get robbed

So before me success and death ménage

I gotta get lost I gotta find V

We gotta be together to make history

[Chorus: Cee-lo]

Now that all the smoke is gone

(Lighters. Up.)

And the battle's finally won

(Lighter. Up.)

Victory is finally ours

(Lighters. Up.)

History so long so long

So long so long

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]

Now victory is mine it tastes so sweet

She's my trophy wife you're coming with me

We'll have a baby who stutters repeatedly

We'll name him history he'll repeat after me

He's my legacy son of my hard work

Future of my past he'll explain who I be

Rank me amongst the greats either 1 2 or 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 can't take it when you leave

I wanna be remembered long after you grieve

Long after I'm gone long after I breathe

I leave all I am in the hands of history

That's my last will and testimony

This is much more than a song it's a baby shower

I've been waiting for this hour history you ours

[Chorus: Cee-lo (2x)]

Now that all the smoke is gone

And the battle's finally won

Victory is finally ours

History so long so long

So long so long
