Lyrics:
Closest ones to me want to see me in a box
Is it jealousy or am I cursed by the gods
My son's mother don't know when or where to start
All
can't go waste my time
Dear John I hate I had to write this letter
Searching for better but the world keep on adding this pressure
My brother was legend
Written by: Christo Andriopoulos & Konstantin Ladurner
Condo out in MIA
Penthouse out in NY
I was taught to make the most
Hustle & stay fly
People
that this all has happened
Dream of living in mansions,
Dream of being supported financially by my deepest passions
Dream that I'm so relaxed,
never showed us love, they only showed us hate
Real deal steppers, we walk by faith and not by sight
But in any situation, we walkin' by sight and not by
a visit I pay - and does it pay!"
And his friend, Liquid Len by name,
Of Wine, Women and Wandsworth fame,
Said "I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that
I'm masterin kills
So much beauty in my community
Yet not an ounce of pride or unity
But when crack and heroin be pollutin the
Population truthfully
Sci-fi
I'm about to murder this beat like a drive-by
10-minute rap, leave nothing in the archive
You niggas rap but really only part-time
I'm about
an enigma
Haunted by the stigma of incest
she tried to hide the scars
Her name reminds me of the stars
I saw diamonds divide
In the corners of her eyes
she
Legends Never Die
VERSE 1
Music is life got tatted on my chest,
In 07 people told me let the music rest,
15 years and the grind never ends,
I’ve
moving my mark and I ain't caving in
I'm leading the pride nobody stepping in
Rap on stages that never could've let me in
Put my name on the map and it's
a new plan
Fam you should pay a nigga just to be in my presence
All cities I'm in I be posted with legends
Defeat all contestants with minimum effort
I
divisions that were Manufactured
Between those enslaved Africans dropped off in the Americas and those dropped off in The
Caribbean
Our perspective, pride
twenties like a billion where I'm from
An arrogant drug dealer the legend I've become
CNN said I'd be dead by twenty one
Blackjack I just pulled in Aces
are annoying but I love it though
Is that what they mean by unconditional?
Driving past your house it look like Cedabrae
Haven't seen you in a while, I
You can bet I'mma be the fucking champion
Get it? I got that longevity
My name in gold, leave behind a legacy
If you're sick, my dick is the remedy
Fuck
appraisal, thou shall love thy neighbor
I be on the low, they don't even know my name yet
I'm a OG, if I "chi chi", then I'm aiming
Man you know me, if I pull
And as the hurdles falling in torn
An so a story is born
And it's like
EKYZ yes we back with a vengeance
Work like a slave til my name is a legend
'til I like my shit,
all across the land
Light the fireworks, bring out the marching band
Uncle L, I love the heart land
South Carolina, they lookin' so tan
Out in
sight blurred by pride
I Smile in pictures but my mind ain't in the right frame
I had to learn quick that ion got nobody to blame
And staying in yo lane
looked into your eyes to see if love was there
I talked it over with myself and silently agreed
Your heart was in a high place unreachable to me
I waited
fly guy, I'm in love with you
The Casanova legend must have been true"
I said, "By the way, baby, what's your name?"
Said, "I go by the name, Lois
had John shut up
In a dungeon of danger – though he had done no wrong.
John questioned his) life, but Jesus stood by him. Stand by me, Lord,
I’ll follow
a ride
I got my baby by my side
Some say that we’re the pride
Of Laurel Canyon
Shades of Camelot givin' all I've got
To Laurel Canyon
John Paul Jones
