Forever (Legacy) [feat. A.J. Throwback & Tabou TMF]
Passion, purpose, persevere past pain
"Movement is your fate" said the letters of my last name
Real love, family, freedom and supportiveness
Deep within the Venn is where my lasting fame and fortune is
Mornings when I'm hoarding minutes under covers
Two reasons liberate me well before the struggle smothers
D'Amato follower: if life's a game of inches
And my lines are made in strength, then I ain't puntin', hit the mud and run it
Whether it's sowing knowledge in our hot and glowing comet
Oath he honors, king who holds the throne, but only owns it honest
Or I embold my queen to grow her worth, behold her dream
Using her anointed hands to leave our folks with no disease
I've known and seen how my people have been oppressed
So I seek to own the deeds and the means to speak and express
For the wins of melanin and the village, pour in the grind
'Cause that dash after '79's more than a line, it's all-time
I been grindin' for too long
And I ain't slowin'
Pressures on, feelin' too strong
And I ain't foldin'
So if I die today, my legacy lives on forever
Forever-ever, forever-ever?
I been grindin' for too long
And I ain't slowin'
Pressures on, feelin' too strong
And I ain't foldin'
So if I die today, my legacy lives on forever
Forever-ever, forever-ever?
Legacy, fantasy, reality, illusions
Family, dynasty, can't you see, collusions?
Royalty, empires, there is no confusion
Crystal clear vision, steer clear of convulsions
Eating good, living well, sipping fine wines
A-list artist, enjoy the sun shine
Education, teach the youths, in schools and the streets
Dropping jewels embedded, forever in these beats
Pick it up, big it up, we nah accept defeat
Cah dem ting deh, a nuh reality
Firm and we wise, trod on a higher street
Pathways unfold, we living life sweet
On all these tracks, films and photos I be
Forever, right here for my friends and family
Doing right now, cause there is no later
Being great now, cause there is no greater
Forever!
I been grindin' for too long
And I ain't slowin'
Pressures on, feelin' too strong
And I ain't foldin'
So if I die today, my legacy lives on forever
Forever-ever, forever-ever?
I been grindin' for too long
And I ain't slowin'
Pressures on, feelin' too strong
And I ain't foldin'
So if I die today, my legacy lives on forever
Forever-ever, forever-ever?
I am the emission of solar visions
History's records would be remiss
To not mention my mission
Misdirection of misconceptions
Won't lessen my steppin'
I am contestin' the definitions
Of perfection with every inflection
Words are a deadly weapon
To poor intentions
When I write of my plight
I pray that you payin' attention
Suffice it to say
I may just get carried away
With a display of a narrative
Greater than a David to Goliath triumph
Hallelujah! The return of the prodigal son
Methodical in my moves
Mindset from an urban jungle
And a creative hand that's heaven sent
Out of this world purpose ignited
To get the people united
Fought through the haters
The self-doubt and the dead weight
Now Legendary is the only known landscape
I'm grandslammin' when I
Step up to the plate
Ride with a champ
Or get the fuck up out my... way
I been grindin' for too long
And I ain't slowin'
Pressures on, feelin' too strong
And I ain't foldin'
So if I die today, my legacy lives on forever
Forever-ever, forever-ever?
I been grindin' for too long
And I ain't slowin'
Pressures on, feelin' too strong
And I ain't foldin'
So if I die today, my legacy lives on forever
Forever-ever, forever-ever?
