Legacy

歌詞

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
