Legacy (feat. Shmel)

Yeah Last night, I took a drive down memory lane Thinking, bout all the dark days I overcame And all the blessings in my life I could never repay If one thing had changed, today wouldn’t be the same Ever since I hit the stage at 8 years old I knew it was a home where my story could be told All these years passed and now I’m grown On the road, shooting shows, just want my name to be known But whatever comes next, isn’t just anyone’s guess I’m strategizing my steps in hopes it brings me success Always had the drive, cuz there’s no other route I’m glad I failed at taking the easy way out Ain’t no S on my chest, but my power is super When I speak into existence what I want for the future Cuz I make it, create it, and breathe it to life Gotta think ahead to know what you wanna leave behind Cuz I I know this life was meant for me I’m chasing my destiny Praying to the stars, so heavenly Had to ask myself What’s your legacy? What’s your legacy? Do you really know love till you’ve lost something? I hope you never have to feel that pain But do you really know loss till you have nothing? Cuz I have and after it ain’t left me the same I really had to treat the mic like it’s therapy Didn’t want my fam to worry bout me heavily But now I got things heating up just like summer My mom’s an accountant, ha Guess that we both tryna do numbers It’s all a part of my plans, I can’t leave it to chance Steady workin’ to never worry about finances I been picked on, pushed down Laughed at, clowned on But like a wheel, I kept it pushing and rolled on It’s a marathon, and I’m aiming to finish Had to learn the difference Between who’s my corner or business Cuz whatever they say about me, I’m not really concerned I know my worth, and I’ll get everything I deserve I know this life was meant for me I’m chasing my destiny Praying to the stars, so heavenly Had to ask myself What’s your legacy? What’s your legacy? Look I put purpose in every move, so I’ll just let them assume Can’t let those with no vision come and cloud up my view Dodging all the shade they throwin' at me so I can shine Cuz everything that’s meant to happen will in due time They always say, “Remember me when you’re famous” But will you remember me if I don’t make it? Had to drop my old ways cuz they won’t open new doors So when I’m gone, what do I wanna be known for? Hm Even when I was broke, I wasn’t broken Used to be stuck behind my walls, but now I’m bustin’ em open Makin’ plays LA with that hustle from Vegas So I’m killing it everytime I hop up on these stages And I would love to make a name for myself in this biz But I’d rather be a better dad than I had for my kids If I ever lose my life, remember what I did Cuz love was all I wanted to give Hope I Gave my brothers and sister someone to look up to So they know that they can also make their dreams come true To my pops, I know I ain’t seen you in a minute I was busy tryna build a life you’d finally be proud of me living Can’t afford to be patient cuz the time’s a-wastin If you haters thought I’d miss my shot, you’re mistaken I got the passion to make it and skill to create it So this show must go on for your entertainment I know this life was meant for me I’m chasing my destiny Praying to the stars, so heavenly Had to ask myself What’s your legacy? What’s your legacy?
