[Intro: DJ Khaled]
They doubted me all my life
Now it's victory (DJ Khaled!)
[Chorus: John Legend]
Whatever it is, I'll pay the cost
I'm willing to risk it, I'll take the loss
I'll put it all on the line
In a hustler's state of mind
Yeah I'm gonna make history, ohhh
Just so we can claim victory (Victory)
Ohh, victory (Victory)
[Interlude: DJ Khaled]
Nasir!
[Verse: Nas]
Speedboats, three tokes and pass it
Grass lit, hitting slopes in Aspen
No coat, just an oath to stay thorough 'til we back to ashes
Driven in fly sedans to the MGM Grand
Picture lots of sand, two blondes, implants, Remy in hand
We trying to tan, deal my cards with an honest hand
A modest man, aware of any counterscam
Palm trees, magnum Don Ps, LV monograms
Hottest girls flew from Rio
Mojitos, mucho frio, my libido
Sex so strong, without the E though
Hollow threats, we don't see those
Higher death toll whenever we roll, that process is pivotal
My pitiful, poverty-struck criminals will get at you
Then we lounge in a Spanish-style house
'Til it all blows over, Dolce Gabbana out
Contemplating, there is no bond with Satan
Say a little prayer for me like Aretha Franklin
For my hustlers, here's some motivation
He who has begun is half done, why you waiting?
I'm too impatient to pray, too much patience for stress
It's too much paper to rest, fuck around, you face death
I know some niggas from Astoria
That'll cut your daughter up like I used to cut a quarter up
Making all the bucks, banana clips I bought in Georgia bucks
Kill all you fucks easy, I be on the golf cart sleepy
Y'all beneath me, y'all be at the pawn shop pawning watches
Obnoxious, can't stop us, we shottas
Say you killing Pablo? Impossible, nonsense
Preposterous, bizarre at best, unfulfilled promises
I feel intelligence is my wealth, however
How enormous is Nas' pockets is a pop quiz to gossipers
See me at the Oscars looking dreamy, hood opulent
Means esoteric, how I wore it, exoticness
Makes you curious to see how serious my closet is
Shareholders wanna invest in that Nas stock, it's just
We be on that real shit, luxury four-wheel shit
Niggas acting thirst on some just-got-a-deal shit
Ha, for that victory we will kill shit
Get out the way, playboy, this is real shit
Khaled
[Chorus: John Legend]
Whatever it is, I'll pay the cost
I'm willing to risk it, I'll take the loss
I'll put it all on the line
In a hustler's state of mind
Yeah I'm gonna make history, ohhh
Just so we can claim victory (Victory)
Ohh, victory (victory)
[Outro: John Legend]
Ohh, ohh
Just so we can claim victory
Ohh, victory, victory, yeah
Hoh, just so we can claim victory
Hey yeah yeah
