Legacy

I told her the gun wasn't shootin',
The last thing that man really saw was my fist,
Me and the boys out here lootin',
My fate is the plot because I am the twist,

I'm working out here just to make a few bags,
I'm working out here just to pave me a path,
I hope I forget all my time in the rags,
Or this planet will painfully bear all my wrath,

Your mind and your body will leave,
For a while just your friends and your family will grieve,
Remember their eyes won't stay wet,
Eventually they will forget,

They say that a man dies two separate times,
The second time when he is remembered last,
Either you live with the fact that you're lost,
Or you make your mark and leave a legacy,

I risked the things I hold preciously,
Sharpened my weaponry,
Ended the self-pity,
Living in peasantry,
Working hard separately,
Just so that one day I'll have my own legacy,

Call me whatever you want but not average,
Saying you'll take me when you really lack courage,
Glanced at my case and then gave me death penalty,
Don't even care now my story's a legacy,

My ego is up on the roof,
Half the shit that I say comes out provocative,
My work is my ultimate proof,
These rappers' flows got me feeling so vomitive,
Keep your face under my hoof,
Doubters just coping by talking derogative,
You're lucky that vest is flameproof,
Tested for greatness that shit came out positive,

Shit, I won't even lie,
Sometimes in this world I feel all alone,
Surrounded by folks who just wanna get by,
I'd love to talk but they're chained to their phone,

I'm walking in hallways so helplessly,
Looking at victims so dreadfully,
Every hand holding my enemy,
Now I have a reason to build my legacy,

I risked the things I hold preciously,
Sharpened my weaponry,
Ended the self-pity,
Living in peasantry,
Working hard separately,
Just so that one day I'll have my own legacy,

Call me whatever you want but not average,
Saying you'll take me when you really lack courage,
Glanced at my case and then gave me death penalty,
Don't even care now my story's a legacy.
