Legacy

Getting older and still ain't getting nowhere And it's colder, i'm smellin the death in the air And I swear, the silence is deafenin' here Cuz all I seem to hear is my self doubt This close to a melt down Too proud to ask people to help out So I put that all on myself I'd rather kill myself than be a burden I'd rather cop a plea to murders I ain't commit Like, "Fuck you, Your Honor, READ THE VERDICT!" And when they hand that sentence down I'm a hold it all in 'til they let me out Fuck it Let me tell ya bout my friends and pals All those people that swear they'd never let me down Shit Had me thinkin like, "How and why?" You say you got my back like a thousand times Until that one time that I actually need ya You're nowhere to be found Isn't that so convenient? I mean What's the point of having friends if they ain't riding for ya What's the point of being down if they ain't down for ya Ya'll can save all that fake shit, sayonara Boy I need to spend more time with my daughters I don't got energy to be wasting Cuz lately mentally I been spacing Focused on the centuries with the faces And how to leave a legacy for the ages Leave a legacy for the ages Complete my destiny on these stages My destiny with these phrases My destiny on these pages Yeah Leave a legacy for the ages Fulfill my destiny on these stages Fulfill my destiny Cuz I'm destined for greatness Kids getting older and I still ain't shit Still feel like shit Still illegitimate Still moving the blow like the wind and shit But keep it on the low like a whisper, shhhhhh Used to want to move the birds Used to want to push keys like computer nerds But now this weight on my shoulder feels like jupiter's So i'm broadcasting this to the universe If you can hear me I need help I'm caught and I'm stuck and I'm trapped, my greed swelled For these sales Addicted to the resell Buy it whole then you flip it for the retail Riding with no seatbelt into a brick wall Going dummy for the money trying to big ball Used to wanna play the game like jigsaw Now I want out, I'm bout to hack a limb off Cuz it's more Complicated than it may seem When you been banking six digits since you 18 And you addicted to the lifestyle the game bring You start to day dream You start to say things Like Do I have a future? Can I even do this? Give up the game to go pursue this? Irony of selling drugs, might as well be using Yeah, there's two sides to what substance abuse is... And these squares are just clueless Thinking you a lost cause like you flew through Bermuda But you know you a boss hog, fuck them losers, they stupid What they know about hard knocks, distribution and moving? Just gotta know the money an illusion They call it a check to keep you in Now you wanna run the world like the UN But the powers that be won't let you in Shit Just the way it works To get what you want you gotta take what's yours Always speak your mind, if you can't say the words, then Show em what you're worth, With your gift, break the curse
