Legend
We talking about legends, I ain't one yet but I respect them
Little homie from Parkside, 2010, I was on my way to shine
Gained respect from the older cats, started balling and they was like who is that
I started thinking to myself man, I can become the man
And what I do? Become the man
Deceptive, quick, fast, whenever I get the ball you know I'm going past
But there was this man I realized
Derrick Thompson, yeah this who I idolized
That's my big brother, you should know why
Big brother he had a reputation, I ain't have any patience
Mission Bay, everyone knew him, I'm just blessed that I grew up with him
Everyone started comparing us
I used to get mad, like, am I really as good as him
Or they just lying huh?
I want to be a legend like you
Derrick Thompson, you were all I knew
Big brother, I wanted to be you
Jealousy ruining me
I was scared to mess up the family tree
I guess this was meant to be
I thank you for taking me under your wing
Legend, that's what you are to me
Fast forward to sophomore year, the coach yeah I knew him
Started getting on my case, Derrick wouldn't do this, yeah I know
Tried to ignore him, practice was really getting intense
He tried to get in my face, hot breath, I started backing up
This Was The Norm For Me, I Tried Everything
He still wasn't happy, and I wasn't happy
I wish he'd saw that me and my brother was different
Cause to him my brother was a legend
And I was a failure
See nobody understand the shoes I had to fill
Those size 12s, I had size 10s, big ass gap to fill in
Oh god my brother dropped 30 again
Everyone loved him but what about me
Could yall come see about me?
I love you bro, this ain't what it seems
Hating on you would never be me
I want to be a legend like you
Derrick Thompson, you were all I knew
Big brother, I wanted to be you
Jealousy ruining me
I was scared to mess up the family tree
I guess this was meant to be
I thank you for taking me under your wing
Legend, that's what you are to me
Little homie from Parkside, 2010, I was on my way to shine
