[Intro - Masta
here

[Verse 1 - Ace]
Man, me 15 years to understand my worth
It was 1988 when Marley planned my
Had to get my feet up out of the sand and
Never thought that my rap lines would span the
But they did, went to every corner of the
It's time to reveal yall really wanna probe
I went from a kid born in Kings County,
To sittin in a sauna in a robe
And since never took a day off from the pen
Understood hard work would pay off in the end,
For as along as my is strong
I'ma give it all I got, try to a song
I'ma give it all I got, try to rip that
And yo, understand I get that dough
And so, 'cause I know how to spit that
Sold out three nights in a row tic-tac-toe
In the fast line kick slow, no need to rush
We royalty, bow down at the of us
The anticipation is like on the corner in the cold and you can see the bus
It's finally here, our
Raised in the singin songs for survival
We stand by the beat man
Tight plan right on the Bible (yeah)

- Masta Ace]
Tryin to let you
wanna let you see
Real is all I
Real is I be
Time is not for
Now is not for me
Life is
the story of me

[Chorus - Gates]
Just trying to history, gotta make history
Ain't no mystery, make history
Know my history, make history
Can't destiny, just gotta make history
yeah yeah

[Verse 2 - Masta
had the 90s by the throat (yup)
I was that close to gettin money by the boat load
of hoping what I wrote flowed
Could of "Whoomp, there it is!"
But it would've felt so to do that song
Trying to prove I belong in a crew strong
Listen, this is preordained
This is written by God we all came
Could of signed with Def Jam but changed
Changed his at the strangest time
He was still to sign a dangerous mind
cat, with the grind the same as mine
Another son born on the would come
He was of course the one with course to run
And like a ham on the softest bun
I refused to eat it, I not be defeated
Here to stay and get a lot
This is what I got to offer, what I got is
but I'm not conceited
And I swear, the same mistakes I made will not be
I choose to keep up dues
Life tried to beat me up like shoes
It was hard, doctor caught me off
Same places I was born got the rough

- Pearl Gates]
We rise we and pray for better days
While for the stars and pray for better aim
Through all the pain we mend, the changed
Long as the sun is shone the goal is the same

trying to make history, gotta make history
Ain't no mystery, gotta make
my history, gotta make history
Can't shake destiny, just make history
Yeah yeah

We rise we fall and for better days
shooting for the stars and pray for better aim
Through all the pain we mend, the method
Long as the sun is the goal is still the same

Just to make history, gotta make history
Ain't no mystery, gotta make
Know my history, make history
Can't destiny, just gotta make history
yeah yeah

[Verse 3 - Ace]
Story of me, never would of knew me it
And won't make a movie about it
I mean I guess could, but truly I doubt it
Mad friends watching Ralph McDaniels me and shouted
"Oh that's the vow, he live in my building"
Life in the PJs and building
Whether you in Seflow or living in
Trying to men, women, and children
A product of the same and I got in the game
Initially my moms was really and ashamed
She was like, "Boy you got a bachlors."
And I was like, "Why call it a BS?"
Bullshit walks as far as I was taught
Yet I had one job interview and she stressed
The story of me, from the story of us
Studio the story a bust
My is in the shop, no warranty
I a new regulator, no Warren G
But get by, do or die
And I left URI, yeah
I looked around and then came the tape
I decided to sit on and accelerate
And after that I knew they me gone
And singing the swan song but I to let them wait
