Legends Never Die

When I was a young'n man
I couldn't understand the streets
Not the dice games, or block beef
And definitely not the police
So off the rip I say R.I.P.
'Cause it's homies gone mean the world to me
And there's a girl I'm sure I'll never see
Only L I know is "lonely"

My notebook can't embrace me
But it's holding me and 'bout to get me paid
If a wise man knows he knows nothing
Than I'm a motherfucking sage
I'm a lunatic on that stupid shit, more shoe-size than my age
Juvenile, but I'm through crying I just put it all on the page
Literally I'm lyrically the most legendary nigga alive
Can't nobody see my pad like it's my period and I'm shy
And when shit go awry around the way
You take two L's, I'm cooling on a J
And I truly can't wait to play
Get lost in track like Jack and Kate

Gave you my word and me never lie
Only in church man would I testify
You is my brethren, I'm your alibi
Nigga we legend, we never die
Gave you my word and me never lie
Only in church man would I testify
You is my brethren, I'm your alibi
Nigga we legend, we never die

The news offered me a stack
But I refused so I could make new noise
'Cause rap's my only true joy
And when I say a rhyme, whoo boy!
Wanna play with me like a new toy?
It's cool with me, I'm a rude boy
Influenced by Houston
So when I chop it up, you screwed boy
Think you fly, shoo boy
'Cause soon as I get loose
I'll be shooting from my top gun
Better duck, duck, Goose

Gotta noose on every verse
So you hanging on my every word
And if you in my way, your days numbered like a calendar
Yerp!
When I serve a nigga I'm just serving my purpose
Born to lead my people up the mountain, black sherpa
Then bring it back with a savage attack on any rapper that ya heard of
And in the industry they gon' call it murder
Now it's my turn to turn into a Turner with the first name of Nat
My burden's concerning, but it hurts to think on that
But even in sorrow, man I learned to relax
And never put off to tomorrow, what I can do the day after that

Gave you my word and me never lie
Only in church man would I testify
You is my brethren, I'm your alibi
Nigga we legend, we never die
Gave you my word and me never lie
Only in church man would I testify
You is my brethren, I'm your alibi
Nigga we legend, we never die

Looking well-read in a suit 'cause there's diamonds in my cards
The rap game's like Utah, it's hard to find good bars
And you sir thinking you can show me how to body a nigga
Is like Mike Pence teaching Charlie Sheen how to party nigga
I take you to school on principle so fool don't test me
'Cause if I gotta slap a pussy ass nigga I'ma make it look sexy
Words free-falling through the verse 'cause my lines so petty
Yo I should play a show in Barcelona, my kicks so Messi

So full of myself, Napoleon got a complex about your boy, see
I write operas like Narcissus, I'm talking me, me, me, me, me
I got stanzas that make Tony Danza a fan
Even Angela know who the boss is
And I'm son'ing so many of these young niggas
Y'all wondering if I got foster kids
Diddyboppin' when I ain't on top and when it's poppin' my key is low
At the execution get a blindfold and that's apropos, they can't see me yo
But at the end of the day I know I'm going out how I came in, so alone
Still when I'm gone I'ma live on
'Cause I put my soul on every song

Gave you my word and me never lie
Only in church man would I testify
You is my brethren, I'm your alibi
Nigga we legend, we never die
Gave you my word and me never lie
Only in church man would I testify
You is my brethren, I'm your alibi
Nigga we legend, we never die
