Originally a hustler’s ode, the first verse of this song nicely sums up the early days of most - if not all - startups.
Jay-Z: History
In search of victory she keeps alluding me
If only we could be together momentarily
We could make love and make history
why won’t you visit me
until she visits me
I’ll be stuck with a sister, her name is defeat
She gives me agony so much agony she brings me so much pain
So much misery like missing your last shot and falling to your knees
As the crowd screams for the other team
I practiced so hard for this moment victory don’t leave
I know what this means im stuck in this routine
Whole new different day same old thing
All I got is dreams, nobody else can see
Nobody else believes, nobody else but me
Where are you victory
I need you desperately
Not just for the moment to make history
As an aside, that’s my theme song whenever a set back happens. It gets me right back up again.
