Legend (feat. A L & Prince Ya)

Uh huh, uh huh, yeah
Woke from a nightmare, I'm slightly faded
What happened to take it slow and move with patience?
Something with my lifestyle, I think you hate it
Or was it that I lose myself in finding greatness?
All my beliefs is what I strive for
Sacrifice to get it or losing sleep to search for more
No one said this would be easy, baby
We can't buy time, so why even waste it?

Look, I want the whole world for you
Shopping bags and jewelry, the whole store for ya
Uh, you say it's about the little things
But everything is moving on to even bigger dreams
Uh, the casualty of being passionate
Maybe you had the last of it

And this is all the thanks we get?
Moving on, but please don't forget
We too stubborn for apologies
What you looking for, what I thought I need
Should of said something, you don't want to speak
So I guess, baby, we gotta let it breathe

There's a long a way on my way up
Say the same thing when I wake up
Call me a legend when I die
You can wait for yours while I wait for mine
I pray for you
I pray for you
Yeah, I pray for you
I pray, I pray
'Til the blessings all fall down

I wake up to a life I thought I'd never see
It's like I'm chasing what I dream to be the better me
Sometimes the rest of me just bites and gets the best of me
But laying down and rolling over's not my pedigree
Every word another brick to build my legacy
Product of the energy from enemies to frenemies
Fair weather is falling while I'm flying to my destiny
Rest to those in peace, I pour a holy shot of Hennessy

Mama said that the hate will give me clarity
It's like they couldn't see me be what they can never be
But I'm just trying to raise my seed and smoke a better tree
Like Cabernet you gotta let it breathe
But staying hungry is the recipe
The best remedy is victory
The future's ours and the rest of it is history

There's a long a way on my way up
Say the same thing when I wake up
Call me a legend when I die
You can wait for yours while I wait for mine
I pray for you
I pray for you
Yeah, I pray for you
I pray, I pray
'Til the blessings all fall down

I am legend like KRS with the Mac 11
Peeking out the window with the spirit of Malcolm from heaven
I can't fear, I'm amped this year
Get in the ring with anybody, the champ is here
Knockin' competition out before they ringin' the bell
I got the song locked, I even got 'em singing in jail
From Sing Sing to Oklahoma, my lyrics leave an aroma
And wake you out of your coma, you're dealing with a persona

A L all lyrics we strugglin' hard
Peace to all my hustlers now behind Colombian bars
It's the risk that you take, it comes with the odds
But if you wish with the fate then you runnin' with God
Heavenly Father, forgive us for the things we have done
I know you won't even bother, you gave us your son
The ultimate sacrifice that can lead you the way
Whether you're down or you're up I still need you to pray

There's a long a way on my way up
Say the same thing when I wake up
Call me a legend when I die
You can wait for yours while I wait for mine
I pray for you
I pray for you
Yeah, I pray for you
I pray, I pray
'Til the blessings all fall down
