victory's so close that I can taste it
And all those who died will be astounded
will realize an d know I'm officially
I, I, I, I'll be the greatest
I know that it was destined,
I'm put here to make history,
Out of that box of being basic,
Just to get by, everyone's complacent
one view through one frame
others walk to want change
A twisted game, a num ber,
Conditioned for a scrimmage,
you ain't know you been playing
it's like you're suited up to go the distance
keeping you on the benches
Fuck the sidelines, baby,
right now it's prime time
See the signs in every line
Better rise and sink slow,
those who don't want to try, bye
Only ways to fly high until
Gonna make, gonna make history
Don't be so close that I can taste it
And all those who doubt it
see baby how I make history
Won't be held down, held back,
I'm officially, officially
I, I, I, I'm gonna make history
I know that it was destined,
I'm put here to make history
with those who choose to doubt you
Tryin' to tell you of your worth
and what they think you will amount to
Unloading a mouthful when in truth
they analyze others and don't
really know their own value
Robbing you of your glory
Remember that this book of life is yours
and you're the au thor of your story
I won't let them get the best of me
They can deny but I must fortify my legacy
Had a teacher once tell me
I might think before you speak,
Have yet to peek, so me fin ish,
victory so close that I can taste it
and all soon get to taste it
Baby, how I make history,
Won't be held down, held back,
will realize an d know I'm officially
I, I, I, I'm gonna make, I,
I, I, I'll be the greatest,
I know that it was destined,
I'm here to make history,
I'm gonna make, gonna make,
victory so close that I can taste it,
believe I make it happen,
will realize an d know I'm officially,
I, I, I, I'm here to make,
I, I, I, I'll be the greatest
I know that it was destined,
I'm put here to make history
