History - Ryan Leslie

Life is really what you make it
You know me
It's whatever you write in your own history book
So whatever story you write
Make sure it's good
Les
Champagne flutes up baby it's a celebration
Shout out to the flyest the pride of my generation
Well educated and under appreciated
Still pulling broads and make me the most hated
Legendary track record man always with a ten
Treat em good give em stories for they friends
They just looking for adventure lotta fun
I done had my share of problems model ones
It's the same d**n story man I'm just tryna spin it
Same d**n game man I'm just tryna win it
Shout out to my hustler's that's doing it independent
See you at the top we gong be there any minute
Living like a Rolling Stone homie Ronnie Wood
Tryna get a second home out in Hollywood
And pretty girls
Be the best bandaid for my self esteem
Got a Chuck Berry hustle with an Elvis dream
That's why we grind hardit's no mystery
'Cause every moment of our life we write history
Every moment of our life we write history
Every moment of our life we write hits we write hits
That's why we grind hard for the victory
'Cause every moment of our life we write history
Every moment of our life we write history

I remember when I first got started
They told me I was retarded
Tell me what's worse being broke
Or broken hearted huh
I was both when my girl left
Music was the only dream in my world left
Yeah and everything
In Sam Ash seemed to tempt me
Ran my credit to the ground for an MP plus an R3
Don't look at me now
I travel the world touring man look at me now
We paying with black cards at the drive through
Black suits black trucks when we ride thru
And I tell the kids you can do what I do
Buckle down homie focus on that high school
Yeah and I paid my dues
Studio videos got major views
When I lost my court case I made the news
So I guess that was a milli it paid to lose
