Legendary
(专辑: Slaine Is Dead - 2016)
[Slaine:] I
was walking with my Walkman on Bopping with no vodka spilling Escape in a
maze, in a
haze, it was an awesome feeling Spending fences, starbucks, dreaming; talking millions [?] Cut out patches taped to cross of walls and ceilings The
trolley car rumbled by my window I'm rocking Marley Marl to calm me down before I
ever popped a
benzo I
might be young, but the
world I
seen how cold it is This night I
heard the
sirens, someone stabbed one of the
older kids below the
ribs; he bled and died I
seen his mother and his brethren cry with vengeant eyes lookin up to heaven skies That's when I
learned about time and how it never lies and never stops for nobody, and I
was only seven might have been eight or nine; fine that was all it took Took everything I
felt and saw, I
wrote it in a
book My mother found my shoe box and knew I
had a
honest heart Life was hard; she knew knocks; I
haven't hit the
hardest spot [Jared Evan:] I
remember in the
days when things were new I
just wanted to Be legendary, ooh Everything that's so cold is announced through That's what you do To be legendary, ooh yeah [Ill Bill:] Yo, yo I
was walking with my Walkman on Brooklyn similar to Lebanon Straight bullets, third world the
bad sty East New York creeps with hawks swift for yours before the
reaper draws Take 10 paces, pull out, and let the
sweeper roar Sweet like candy til' an ambulances hand thee But minute laughing and happy til' they massacre your family It was all good a
week ago, peep it slow Iron sights 20-20 and killers like money-money I
rather cherish then perish, rhyme terrorist Climb Everest My endeavours give me wings, ride pegasus Gimme purpose Light a
fire in a
furnace I
provide a
service, watch closer, try to learn this from the
projects professor I
leave a
legendary catalogue behind so I
will live forever Guess I'm fucked, only thing I
love is drugs and magnums And momma told never to take what I
love for granted [Jared Evan:] I
remember in the
days when things were new I
just wanted to Be legendary, ooh Everything that's so cold is announced through That's what you do To be legendary, ooh yeah [Vinnie Paz:] Yeah I
was walking with my Walkman on Listening to Etta James Nothing change if nothing change unless you have a
better range Broken glass everywhere from the
broken homes Every Philly street is like a
boulevard of broken bones The
only white bulb and still they provide love for me I
come from a
place where the
devil reside comfortably A
lot of these motherfuckers out there is sons to me Denying I'm the
father of their style and taking blood from me Maybe I'm a
narcissist, maybe I'm an arsonist I
just wish that there was more David Foster Wallaces I
would read dictionaries and study thesauruses Look for the
proper definition of what an artist is Literary chauvinist literal to every logicist I
only followed rappers I
thought was bringing apocalypse I
never ever referred to myself as legendary My son good, so everything else is just secondary [Jared Evan:] I
remember in the
days when things were new I
just wanted to Be legendary, ooh Everything that's so cold is announced through That's what you do To be legendary, ooh yeah
