Legacy
I wonder when my time done
Will I be amongst the greats or a lost one
I often think is my pen a Picasso vintage
Or is it just another Bic with an ink limit
Will I get the opportunity to crowd please
Or will my visions and dreams just flat leave
Will I still be the driver of my two seater
Or end up bitter and boxed in like a back seater
I know it's crazy and I really shouldn't think of this
But the next 60 seconds can kill me (that's some deep shit)
So I'm going hard wit my dream like it's nothing left
Cuz nowadays it really takes nothing just to be the best
I watch artist jump ship like its titanic
Cuz the foundation shaky like the titanic
Instead of patching it up and sticking by they ship
They rather be quartermasters to another ship
(You are strong if you believe you are)
(If you believe you are)
(Then you'll go far)
(Ladada da da da da)
You know they say you plan it all in the beginning
So with the ups and downs just keep ya feet moving
Real people gonna stay even if you losing
Cuz every forward step is just dead weight you losing
Can't keep losing track of time wit the smoking screens
That's the fastest way to manufacture broken dreams
I've watched artist let others make em nobody
Cuz they was to busy hanging round nobodies
I refuse to make my platform a square box
Cuz the next person to lazy and they just wanna watch
I have a hard enough time just pleasing fans
And keeping music in their hungry minds and open hands
I just hope I got the discipline of Mandela
To keep my green thumb going like a bank teller
Cuz if I can build the Prince like longevity
Then imagine all the wonders that's ahead of me
Food for thought be aware of your decision making
Cuz at the end who really care about the risk you taking
How many times have you came up wit a decent plan
But when you pitch it you could never find a decent hand
I'm from the bottom where you gotta build your own ladder
And in the kitchen you gotta make your own platter
Truth be told ain't nobody tryna see you eat
The mountain top ain't nobody tryna see you reach
We all chasing but the question is what do we seek
Are we tryna chase a dream
Or are we tryna chase the sleep
Are we really building dreams
Or tryna kill another's dreams
Can you spot the line between support and a clever scheme
Nowadays everybody has a broken stance
What's the difference from a helping and an open hand
They play for keeps ain't nobody got your best interest
Unless you talking money of course it comes with interest
(You are strong if you believe you are)
(If you believe you are)
(Then you'll go far)
(Ladada da da da da)
(You are strong if you believe you are)
(If you believe you are)
(Then you'll go far)
(Ladada da da da da da da)
(I just wanna see you make it in this world)
(Make it in this world)
(Ladada da da da da da da)
(I just wanna see you make it in this world)
(Make it in this world)
(Ladada da da da da da da)
(Da da da da)
(Ladada da da da da da da)
(Da da da da)
