Legacy

I don't wanna stay up
'Cause the nightmare begins when I wake up
So I sleep cause I don't wanna face them
The only time it feels I'm dreaming when I make songs
And what I write to
They're gon' judge me before they ever see my point of view
I'm just a young one from the North, trying to make it
I've just been swervin', switching lanes, trying to fake it
I'm just a 16 kid with big dreams
Brody told me I'm gonna make it, talking big streams
And shorty told me I'll be famous on the big screens
Are you hearing me? Are you-are you hearing me?
So I'm gonna hide my insecurities
Trying to act tough, when really I'm the one who's fearing me
Grounded through the scrutiny
And none of this is new to me
Just trying, to show you what I'm soon to be
Creating a legacy
I'm doing it for her
I'm doing it for me, yeah
Creating a better me
I'm doing it for her
I'm doing it for me
Want me to ask you if you up
But I ain't attracted to your love
Cause your definition wasn't us
But all I was giving was enough
But I don't really care, to be honest
Cause I've been on my own for the longest
And ever since, I've been steady locked in
Started popping, turning heads when I walked in
So I'm gonna make it my mission, got tunnel vision
I keep it real, you could call me non-fiction
Money on my mind, so mind your business
No time to visit
Like I'm rushing back home for Christmas, huh
Creating a legacy
I'm doing it for her
I'm doing it for me, yeah
Creating a better me
I'm doing it for her
I'm doing it for me
I can't count all the times, stabbed me in the back
But now I got stacks
And honestly I'd rather count that
I'm a product of the past, but not a prisoner
Cause living with the demons easier than getting rid of them
She said that I'm a good listener
I told her I ain't got nothing to say to you, girl
Trying not to think about missing her
It kills the vibe, when that's what I'm living for
Yeah
When that's what I'm living for-or-or-or-or
Yeah, yeah
I don't wanna stay up
'Cause the nightmare begins when I wake up
But dreams stay dreams till you chase them
And I don't want to dream no more, so
Creating a legacy
I'm doing it for her
I'm doing it for me, yeah
Creating a better me
I'm doing it for her
I'm doing it for me
