History

作词 : Dave/James Blake

作曲 : Dave/James Blake/Dom Maker

This is God's plan, he said it to me

An angel either side of my bed in a dream

Singin' "You don't know what you've yet to achieve

And you're destined to some shit you would never believe"

Now the garden same size as Adam and Eve's

I got trees, a forest you better belive

For the bass and the treble, I triple the fee

How can I sleep when there's money to get with the team?

You disrespect the sixteen, your head on a beam

For the lust of the money, the head of the queen

I done shit I didn't think I could ever redeem

I'm from South where they struggle with sayin' your name

But it's easy when pronouncin' you dead on the scene

So when you see me on these stages, steppin' in clean

I hope

You know it's history in the makin'

Shall we make it? Oh God

Yeah

And when they talk on my name in this country, they gon' tell you that I'm already a legend

Streatham that I'm reppin', clean steppin', bro, you need to forget it

**** ecofriendly, my car eco-aggressive

And my ego aggressive, better leave me a message

Yeah, you've done it for a year, but that ain't impressive

I give a **** about success if it ain't successive

That ain't (History)

City's gonna listen on repeat

Gone a couple summers, so they miss me on the beat

It don't matter if she pretty and petite

If she ain't B, she can't even kiss me on the cheek

Mum said "Never build a house on sand"

But I don't think I listen 'cah the villas by the beach

And I did it off of beats, I just whip it and I screech

Anytime you see my niggas in the streets

You know it's history in the makin'

Shall we make it? Oh God

Did I, did I get addicted to the life?

Was it all that I wanted?

And it was fun for a while

But history's smiles on us

Now we're on to something

Warm to somethin' higher

Now hold my hand close

I'm inspired

And I'm holdin' on to a version of our lives

Where' you're still mine

You know it's history in the makin'

Shall we make it? Oh God

Yeah

My mum told me what my name really means and the powers just kicked in

Got me thinkin' back to days when I was a victim to this ting

Thinkin' I was keepin' it balanced

I was even embarrassed, sellin' CDs in Paris

But this music gave me everything I need in a marriage

I can't speak sideways on grime, John Galore garage

When I know that this is the reason we managed to make (History)

Don't be a hero, I ain't lookin' to hurt anyone

I got a clean one, and I got a dirty one

I never see a man late to his own funeral, but

I done see a man show up early to one

I prefer the one that's slim, but I don't mind me the curvier one

And I'm comin' from the South of the river, where the sky's black

If not for the history that we made, they wouldn't like rap

Niggas tryna water down our ting, it's time to fight back

For seventy hours I've been steppin' with powers

And it's definitely ours, it's time

You mention my name, better know that you're playin' with pepper

You borrowed a mill', and I told him to "Pay me whenever"

Knew it was different from the moment we came in

And you can call me, 'cause I said it verbatim

The woman with me like a renaissance paintin'

I'm Michelangelo's David

And anytime you mention me in a statement, you better know that it's-

History
