LEGACY lyrics

[Verse 1]
To tell you the truth, I've seen the light, yes I have
Sipped from the chalice, my cup over runneth
The goal is to rise, no surprise if I plummet
No forfeit goal, I go for broke, never punted
These verbal placebos, I’m sick to my stomach
Like heroin addicts with tracks, I just vomit
You might overdose on this dope I deliver
My defense and-one like I play for the Wizards
Young [?] builder that built the [?] around me
Retire my jersey above the rafters
See the numbers don't lie but the people do
Read between the lines, I see the truth in this
I feel like Eric Wright, I'm on some cooler sh*t
I turn to Jerry Heller with this ruthlessness
I’m back to robbing blind like we in Gotham City
Call me Harvey Dent 'cause I got two sides, lawd

[Chorus]
Said I'd rather die as a legend then live in irrelevance
What you telling them?
Said I'd rather die as a legend then live in irrelevance
Like man when I'm gone, will they remember me?
I'm giving my all with these passionate pleas
I prayed to the lord, like father help me please
Don't let me fade into obscurity
[Verse 2]
'Cause life is a game and I play it well
I’m revered for my arts like Orson Welles
I invaded the game like [?]
Quid pro quo, what you know ’bout it?
Don't mind me, I’m just a nobody
Got my own problems no one cares about
It's a cruel world with many stipulations
I'ma stand my ground as I respond with kindness
No greasy takes 'cause these greedy bast*rds can’t get enough
They wanna take from me, yeah they lack compassion
When you down and out, there's no helping hand
But I don't understand, I can't comprehend it
The pain's extensive, I feel alone with this paranoia sh*t
Calm down my n*gga, take it easy
Enjoy your life, it ain't that bad
You got the gift of gab, you better count your blessings
sh*t I'm always stressing, f*ck being complacent
Tryna murder sh*t, like Camp Crystal Lake it
I'm a distant loner, realistic fashion
But they want me to change, try to appease the masses
n*gga f*ck that, I don't relate to it
I'm isolated with this cabin fever
I ain't make this sh*t for you to dance to
It's trance music, come get lost
My n*gga what's progression when you're mentally stuck?
Like everything is looking up but yet I still feel down
Man I don't want no crown and I don't need no power
f*ck the throne that you judging from
You ain't heard most kings get they head cut off?
But that race for fame, it ain't concerning me
Am I solidified, well yes certainly
And good lord I
[Chorus]
Said I'd rather die as a legend then live in irrelevance
What you telling them?
Said I'd rather die as a legend then live in irrelevance
Like man when I'm gone, will they remember me?
I gave 'em my all with these passionate pleas
I prayed to the lord, like father help me please
Don't let me fade into obscurity, tee, tee
Said I'd rather die as a legend then live in irrelevance
What you telling them?
Said I'd rather die as a legend then live in irrelevance
Like man when I'm gone, will they remember me?
I gave 'em my all with these passionate pleas
I prayed to the lord, like father help me please
Don't let me fade into obscurity

[Verse 3]
n*gga they don't want the real, they want a fabrication
They don't want you to be honest, make an alteration
With inflammatory comments like an altercation
Meditative, oh I'm in it goddamn it, can I think? (think, think)
We can resolve it when I find my patience
Paint the picture, presented it to me [?]
Never pretended to be more than what I am
I got a plan motherf*cker, give me a minute to think (think, think)
[Chorus]
Said I'd rather die as a legend then live in irrelevance
What you telling them?
Said I'd rather die as a legend then live in irrelevance
Like man when I'm gone, will they remember me?
I gave 'em my all with these passionate pleas
I prayed to the lord, like father help me please
Don't let me fade into obscurity, tee
