Lyrics
This is God’s plan, He said it to me
– Sa a se plan Bondye a, li te di m’
An angel either side of my bed in a dream
– Yon zanj sou chak bò kabann mwen nan yon rèv
Singin’, “You don’t know what you’ve yet to achieve
– Chante, ” ou pa konnen sa ou gen ankò reyalize
And you’re destined for some shit you would never believe”
– Epi ou se destine pou kèk bagay ou pa ta janm kwè”
Now the garden same size as Adam and Eve’s
– Kounye a jaden an menm gwosè Ak Adan ak Èv
I got trees, a forest, you better believe
– Mwen gen pyebwa, yon forè, ou pi bon kwè
For the bass and the treble, I treble the fee
– Pou bas la ak trip la, mwen trip frè a
I can’t wish my ex the best, she would end up with me
– Mwen pa ka swete ansyen mwen an pi bon an, li ta fini avè m
How can I sleep when there’s money to get with the team?
– Ki jan mwen ka dòmi lè gen lajan pou jwenn ak ekip la?
You disrespect the 16, your head on a beam
– Ou pa respekte 16, tèt ou sou yon gwo bout bwa
For the lust of the money, the head of the Queen
– Pou lanvi lajan an, tèt La Nan Rèn nan
I done shit I didn’t think I could ever redeem
– Mwen te fè yon bagay mwen pa t panse mwen te janm kapab delivre
I’m from South where they struggle with sayin’ your name
– Mwen Soti Nan Sid kote yo ap lite ak di non ou
But it’s easy when pronouncin’ you dead on the scene
– Men, li fasil lè pwononse ou mouri sou sèn nan
So when you see me on these stages steppin’ in clean
– Se konsa, lè ou wè m ‘sou etap sa yo steppin’ nan pwòp
I hope
– Mwen espere
You know it’s history in the makin’
– Ou konnen li nan istwa nan makin’
Shall we make it? Oh God
– Èske nou ta dwe fè li? Oh Bondye
Yeah
– Wi
And when they talk on my name in this country, they gon’ tell you that I’m already a legend (In the makin’)
– E lè yo pale sou non mwen nan peyi sa a, yo gon’ di ou ke mwen deja yon lejand (Nan makin’)
Streatham that I’m reppin’, clean steppin’, bro, you need to forget it
– Streatham ke mwen reppin’, pwòp steppin’, frè, ou bezwen bliye li
Fuck eco-friendly, my car eco-aggressive (Yeah)
– Fuck ekolojik-zanmitay, machin mwen an ekolojik-agresif (Yeah)
And my ego aggressive (Yeah), you better leave me a message
– E ego mwen agresif (Wi), ou pi bon kite m ‘ yon mesaj
Yeah, you’ve done it for a year, but that ain’t impressive
– Wi, ou te fè l pou yon ane, men sa pa enpresyonan
I give a fuck about success if it ain’t successive, that ain’t (History)
– Mwen bay yon fuck sou siksè si li pa siksesif, sa a se pa (Istwa)
City’s gonna listen on repeat (Yeah)
– Vil la pral koute sou repete (Yeah)
Gone a couple summers, so they miss me on the beat (Woo)
– Ale yon koup ete, se konsa yo manke m ‘ sou bat la (Woo)
It don’t matter if she pretty and petite
– Li pa gen pwoblèm si li bèl ak ti
If she ain’t B, she can’t even kiss me on the cheek (Yeah)
– Si Li pa B, li pa ka menm bo m ‘ sou figi an (Yeah)
Mum said, “Never build a house on sand”
– Manman te di, “pa janm bati yon kay sou sab”
But I don’t think I listen cah the villas by the beach
– Men mwen pa panse mwen koute cah villas yo bò plaj la
And I did it off of beats (Yeah), I just whip it and I screech (Yeah)
– E mwen te fè l ‘ soti nan bat (Yeah), mwen jis bat li epi mwen kriye (Yeah)
Any time you see my niggas in the streets
– Chak fwa ou wè nèg mwen yo nan lari yo
You know it’s history in the makin’ (Makin’)
– Ou konnen li nan istwa nan makin ‘(Makin’)
Shall we make it? Oh God
– Èske nou ta dwe fè li? Oh Bondye
Ah
– Ah
Did I, did I get addicted to the life?
– Eske mwen te vin dejwe lavi a?
Well, it’s all that I wanted
– Oke, se tout sa mwen te vle
And it was fun for a while
– E li te plezi pou yon ti tan
But history smiles on us
– Men istwa souri sou nou
Now we’re on to somethin’
– Kounye a nou sou yon bagay
On to somethin’ higher (Higher)
– Sou yon bagay ki pi wo (Pi wo)
Now hold my hand close
– Kounye a kenbe men m fèmen
I’m inspired
– Mwen enspire
And I’m holdin’ on to a version of our lives
– E mwen kenbe sou yon vèsyon nan lavi nou
Where you’re still mine
– Kote ou toujou pou mwen
You know it’s history in the makin’ (Ooh)
– Ou konnen li nan istwa nan makin ‘(Ooh)
Shall we make it? Oh God
– Èske nou ta dwe fè li? Oh Bondye
Yeah
– Wi
My mum told me what my name really means and the powers just kicked in
– Manman m te di m sa non mwen vle di tout bon e pouvwa yo te kòmanse
Got me thinkin’ back to days when I was a victim to this ting
– Te fè m ‘ panse tounen nan jou lè mwen te yon viktim nan sa a ting
Thinkin’ I was keepin’ it balanced
– Panse mwen te kenbe li ekilibre
I was even embarrassed, sellin’ CDs in Paris
– Mwen te menm wont, vann Cd nan Pari
But this music gave me everything I need in a marriage
– Men mizik sa a te ban m tout sa m bezwen nan yon maryaj
I can’t speak sideways on grime, jungle or garage
– Mwen pa ka pale sou kote sou pousyè tè, forè oswa garaj
When I know that it’s the reason we managed to make (History)
– Lè m konnen ke se rezon nou te rive fè (Istwa)
Don’t be a hero, I ain’t lookin’ to hurt anyone
– Pa fè yon ewo, mwen pa ap chèche pou fè mal nenpòt moun
I got a clean one, and I got a dirtier one
– Mwen te gen yon sèl pwòp, e mwen te gen yon sèl sal
I never see a man late to his own funeral, but
– Mwen pa janm wè yon nonm an reta nan pwòp antèman l’, men
I done see a man show up early to one
– Mwen wè yon nonm parèt byen bonè nan yon sèl
I prefer the one that’s slim, but I don’t mind me the curvier one, yeah
– Mwen pito yon sèl la ki se mens, men mwen pa lide m ‘ yon sèl la curvier, yeah
And I’m comin’ from the South of the river, where the sky is black
– E mwen ap vini soti nan Sid larivyè lefrat la, kote syèl la se nwa
If not for the history that we made, they wouldn’t like rap
– Si se pa pou istwa ke nou te fè, yo pa ta renmen rap
Niggas tryna water down our ting, it’s time to fight back
– Nèg ap eseye dlo desann ting nou an, li lè pou goumen tounen
For seventy hours, I’ve been steppin’ with powers, and it’s definitely ours, it’s time
– Pou swasanndis èdtan, mwen te steppin’ ak pouvwa, epi li se definitivman nou an, li lè
You mention my name, better know that you’re playin’ with pepper
– Ou mansyone non mwen, pi bon konnen ke ou ap jwe ak pepper
You borrowed a mil’, and I told him to pay me whenever
– Ou prete yon mil’, e mwen te di l ‘peye m’ chak fwa
Knew it was different from the moment we came in
– Te konnen li te diferan de moman nou te vini nan
And you can call me ’cause I said it verbatim
– Epi ou ka rele m ‘ paske mwen te di li mo mo
The woman with me like a renaissance paintin’
– Fanm ki avè m tankou yon penti renesans
I’m Michelangelo’s David
– Mwen Se David Michelangelo A
And any time you mention me in a statement, you better know that it’s
– Ak nenpòt lè ou mansyone m ‘ nan yon deklarasyon, ou pi bon konnen ke li nan
History
– Istwa
