Legacy

Lyrics

Congratulations, you’ve achieved failure

These nights I’m scribbling, teary eyes, envisioning
Spitting fury at the mic like a mother delivering
Now I gotta hit push and beg for some listening

Is it how I got the cam rolling for my 2 listeners
My only proof I ain’t talking to ghosts in this room

Is it how I’m teaching lessons
Pouring knowledge and wisdom
I’m seating decoding, I’m coding
Cracking my brain, thinking of quality
Building, it’s outpouring from me and landing on nobody
Now it’s red eyes I’m yawning
Fake smiles I’m fronting
Still scribbling
Now my voice is shaking you can hear it in the music
Could it be passion or uncertainty that I can take it
Ooooh almost let a tear drop but I cut it off
God dammit keep it together will you

Got a milli reasons to pack it up
But if I do I’ll be a shame to my generation
Ain’t nothing practical in weakness
And if you think the opposite then you need deliverance
See I’ve fallen so many times I’m used to it
But I stood up everytime it’s a habit I’m built for it

This is real life
To be a real man you gotta brace up cause there’s no cushioning
You’ll be beaten left and right, it’s the package it’s the butchering
So when you eat the steaks and wear the leather you’ll be feeling it
I’m long gone I’ve got my head dip in it
I ain’t getting out the water till I can see I’m finally killing it
Can’t lie my eye is billing me
It’s sleep it’s a debt
I’ll pay it when they bury me
Can’t drop the ball cause if I do then who’ll be there to carry me

I’m still listening
I can hear the silence when I ask the questions
I can see the rebound and lost affections
How the peeps I cut an arm for now with bad intentions
Cause I’m back in the trenches
Where the facts get contentious
When they start askin’ for mention
I’ll be passin’ the sentence
I gave pieces of my soul
Now they treatin’ it like rental
When the times be getting tough
That’s the moment you remember
That the ones you been lifting are the first to forget ya

But I ain’t got the time to cry about the calculus of betrayal
I’m too busy tryna build a life for my bloodline
I ain’t write this for the likes or the temporary timeline
I’m the sculptor and the stone
I’m the story that’s unfoldin’
Even if you ain’t hear me
I’m still spittin’ what I’m livin’
This is scripture for my offspring
When they asking what the lesson is
