Legends

(album: Swings - 2014)

Nobody sticks together. No one believes traditions
People leave and quit, and now I never see persistence
I see the good, the bad, and people who don't see the difference
I do not wish to be like you so we should keep some distance
Cause see for instance, love should be just instant
Even infants comprehend it. Tell me why you preach against it
Oh you too egotistic? To even seek assistance
Well, if you can't be consistent you might as well cease existence

I was raised by a queen, but she worked like a slave
And yet she taught me to mean every word that I say
Taught me to treat people right, cause I deserve what I gave
Now I want nothing' but perfect in every verse that I lay

My mamma did some things for money. Yeah, so what if she did?
She did what she had to do, so we had a place to live
She put food up on the table so we had a grace to give
Yeah, the bands will make her dance cause them bands will feed the kids
And I ain't ashamed of that not ashamed of that, I repeat myself, I bring it back
I can lie to you and try to hide the truth, but tell me what part of the game is that
No, I came to work. I came to work. I run that game till my ankles hurt
She the reason I stand tall today. Damn right, I give thanks to her

Nah, I don't know just where I'm gonna be
Or what I'm gone be doing' in another year or three
All I know, all I know, is I be far from where I'm at
Gonna live to be a legend. Yeah, I'm down to die for that

I don't know, I don't know, just where I'm gonna be
Or what I'm gone be doing in another year or three
All I know, all I know, is I be far from where I'm at
Gonna live to be a legend. Yeah, I'm down to die for that

I see you try to fit in. I see the separation
I've heard about your dreams. I see no the preparation
You talk about success like it's just a destination
Wishing' everyday for something' doesn't count as dedication
Dedicated to you basicated bolshie bitches
Head to high to smell the roses. Nails to clean to do the dishes
I used to holler, but you acted way to cool to listen
Now I get to taste revenge. I swear this shit is to delicious
Now-now I'm elevated, you still get hella faded
Your life ain't progressing, but you still celebrate it
Still live that same old same life. Still getting medicated
Still living day to day like nothing's premeditated

Like you the baddest with your eyes low tripping
With a child at home, sitting, while you styrofoam sipping
Coming home with strange men while he lie alone and listen
And wake up and go to work, and deny his whole existence
Where the dreams at? That-that's where my team's at
And we gonna change the world. Yeah, I really mean that
So, until then, you can find me in my zone
And that's where I stay, even if it means I die alone

I don't know, I don't know, just where I'm gonna be
Or what I'm gone be doing in another year or three
All I know, all I know, is I be far from where I'm at
Gonna live to be a legend. Yeah, I'm down to die for that

I don't know, I don't know, just where I'm gonna be
Or what I'm gone be doing in another year or three
All I know, all I know, is I be far from where I'm at
Gonna live to be a legend. Yeah, I'm down to die for that
