Legacy |
You |
You, you, you, you, you |
You, you, you |
How do you want to be remembered? |
Just being rich? |
Yeah, yeah |
Uh |
Visions of seeing myself as someone different |
Reality got me feeling indifferent |
I’m lifting this weight off my shoulder |
But hold up, older I get |
I reload the clip and sip on something |
I feel good for nothing |
All my glory days behind me or beyond me |
I’m folding like origami |
My tables turning like interior decorators |
Levels like elevators |
These haters got me questioning my judgement |
Tried by a jury of my peers, but where the judge went? |
What will my legacy be? |
Who will my enemy be? |
In due time as I write this rhyme |
I don’t know |
Flash before my eyes |
Yeah, uh |
And on my deathbed what will I say as I pray? |
And reminisce of another day, uh |
I came from nothing, a child born in poverty |
Went to college to gain knowledge |
So they would acknowledge me |
Honestly, I got a good job |
I found a woman, made her my wife |
But spent more time at work |
So we could have a stable life |
And when my son was born |
I had to work even harder |
Before I knew it, now my wife was giving birth to my daughter |
Went from 40 hours a week to 80 |
Ain’t nobody gon' pay me but myself |
Sacrifice my time and my health, for wealth |
I missed a birthday, miss an anniversary |
There’s lots of people in this world that’s worse than me |
I wasn’t there for my son’s first words |
But he ain’t grow up in the hood like me, we in the burbs |
Sacrifice a couple years, he could have all the money when I’m gone |
What a fool I was |
I missed his graduation, I missed her wedding day |
I didn’t even get to give my little girl away |
But I paid for the honeymoon, yeah, I paid for the honeymoon |
I’m not there right now but I will be later |
I’m working on something that’s greater |
That’s my legacy |
Uh, I’m gon' be remembered by generations to come |
Damn, you dumb |
You won’t be remembered by your son |
Uh, yeah |
To be remembered by generations to come |
You a fool |
You won’t be remembered by your son |
«Nonsense, nonsense!» |
I said to the man with no money, nonsense, uh, uh |
Step back who running from me I don’t know my own identity |
I look in the mi-look in the mi-the mirror, I ain’t clearer |
I’m just trying to be free— who is that? |
It surely ain’t me |
As I lay on my deathbed, I realized I was wrong |
I have been the richest man in the world all along |
A beautiful family that all I did was ignore |
For financial stability and fear of being poor |
'Cause when I was a child, knew I always wanted more |
When I was a child, knew I always wanted more, more, more |
And now I got it, uh |
And now I’m laying in this bed; |
cancer spreading through my lungs |
Looking at my family like «Damn, y’all were the ones» |
I sacrificed my life for 100's, 50's, 20's, 10's, 5's, and 1's |
So dumb, I’d give it all if I could |
Do it for my heart again, not my wallet |
I hate to recall it but it’s gone now—legacy is gone now |
Sacrifice my health for wealth, no, it wasn’t worth it |
But as I take my last breath, I know that I deserved it |
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy |
The legacy you gon' leave behind you forever is the blood in your veins |
Wake up, Daddy, now is the time for change |
And as your child I’m telling you I don’t give a damn if we living on change, |
Daddy |
Just as long as we livin' |
Just as long as we livin', Daddy |
I just want to be happy, I don’t give a damn if we live in a shoebox |
Now my mama gon' tell you what you got |
I love you, I love you, I love you, I want you, I need you, I crave you |
Why you throw away this pussy that I gave you? |
Why you fucking 'round behind my back |
While I’m home raising my children? |
Feel like a single mother even though a ring up on it |
Supposed to be husband and wife, you more like my opponent |
Finger fucking myself 'cause fuck infidelity |
I’d rather look in the mirror be happy who I see |
Sometimes I want to take my babies and go to my mama crib |
Can I live? |
Can I have a life away from my life? |
Be the woman that I would have been if I wasn’t your wife? |
You know I love 'em—but if that test wasn’t positive |
I woulda had a lot to give |
Sometimes I want to divorce your ass and take half |
Motherfucker |
But I stay 'cause I love these children |
And I love you deep down, that’s why I stick around, but |
You never there |
'Cause you just want to be the best |
You just want to make this money, uh |
Come get this pussy, motherfucker |
Come get this pussy and love your children |
Fuck your legacy |
Fuck it |
Float in the abyss of nothingness |
My consciousness remembers a life before it hits black |
I wish that I could get back and then I realize that all this shit is just a |
daydream |
And there’s only like four of us on the tour bus |
And I’m in the back, how 'bout that? |
Thinkin' 'bout my legacy |
And how we as human beings sacrifice health for money |
Ain’t it funny? |
'Cause in the end, we spend all our money on repairing our body and mind |
When we really should have just spent time |
Fuck a legacy |
I’ma go live my life |
Peace |
