History Lyrics

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 for
Some shit you would never believe”

Now the garden same size as Adam and Eve’s
I got trees, a forest, you better believe
For the bass and the treble, I treble the fee
I can’t wish my ex the best
She would end up with me

How can I sleep when there’s money to get with the team?
You disrespect the 16, 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

[James Blake]
You know it’s history in the makin’
Shall we make it? Oh God

[Dave & James Blake]
Yeah! And when they talk on my name in this country
They gon’ tell you that
I’m already a legend (In the makin’)
Streatham that I’m reppin’, clean steppin’
Bro, you need to forget it
Fuck eco-friendly, my car eco-aggressive (Yeah)
And my ego aggressive (Yeah)
You better leave me a message
Yeah, you’ve done it for a year
But that ain’t impressive
I give a fuck about success if it

Ain’t successive, that ain’t (History)
City’s gonna listen on repeat (Yeah)
Gone a couple summers, so they miss me on the beat (Woo)
It don’t matter if she pretty and petite
If she ain’t B, she can’t even kiss me on the cheek (Yeah)

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 (Yeah)
I just whip it and I screech (Yeah)
Any time you see my niggas in the streets

[Chorus: James Blake]
You know it’s history in the makin’ (Makin’)
Shall we make it? Oh God

[Bridge: James Blake]
Ah! Did I, did I get addicted to the life?
Well, it’s all that I wanted
And it was fun for a while
But history smiles on us
Now we’re on to somethin’
On to somethin’ higher (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

[Chorus: James Blake]
You know it’s history in the makin’ (Ooh)
Shall we make it? Oh God

[Verse 3: Dave & James Blake]
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, jungle or garage
When I know that it’s 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 dirtier 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, yeah
And I’m comin’ from the South of the river
Where the sky is 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 mil’, 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 any time you mention me in a statement
You better know that it’s

[Outro: James Blake]
