Lyrics Sol – Legacy
Text:
Legacy… yeah
Take a trip down memory lane, wonder if you’ll remember my name?
I live my life like the canvas is plain (why?), cause it is, is whatever you think, ey
Do what you love by any means, go all the way, no in betweens, I don’t know everything
Boy been a man since boy figured out, how to be the prince and never wear the crown, I would much rather stay close to the ground, where my people at, where I’m needed at
Nah I needed that, grew up on that, with my family tree holding me, I swing from the branch, hope to land on my feet with the mic I my hand, I was thinking legacy before puberty man, damn
Ain’t that some shit?
Yeah that’s some shit
Grew up on tracks like this
They’ll take you back like this
(Hold up, pull up, roll up, pull up, now ah) They’ll want to rap like this
(Hold up, pull up, roll up, pull up, blah) They’ll take you back like this
Since Diddy did the Harlem Shake, I was in the 5th grade thinking hall of fame, no MJ, more like Nas and Jay and I was catching bars, before I caught the fame, young soul with the lineup, afro big with the blackfist full looking like a q-tip, I was on the rap shit, rocking that fat forearm with a bad bitch, scratch that was some acne
And the yellow bus in the backseat, was an outcast, ’till they gave me a break b, now ‘I’m the stage, almost 23, only 28, been an OG, lowkey
Ain’t that some shit?
Ain’t that some shit?
Yeah that’s some shit
Grew up on tracks like this
They’ll take you back like this
(Hold up, pull up, roll up, pull up, now ah) They’ll want to rap like this
(Hold up, pull up, roll up, pull up, blah) They’ll take you back like this
I remember days we would waste by, make believe on the stage in the backyard, now we got the whole city as a backdrop, you can really test the people making hip-hop
Got a message yesterday, said I saved somebodie’s life through a song that I wrote when I was going through some times, you never know the blessings that you gave, guess I’m both getting paid and making change
Legacy
I bet you remember me, I’d like to see them get rid of me, I got no enemies, and I’l live forever b, cause I live through my energy
Ain’t that some shit?
Yeah that’s some shit
Grew up on tracks like this
They’ll take you back like this
(Hold up, pull up, roll up, pull up, blah)
Grew up on tracks like this
They’ll take you back like this
Some things don’t really matter at all
But these moments, they matter more than ever before
Some things don’t really matter at all
But these moments, they matter more than ever before
Some things don’t matter, some things don’t matter at all
Some things don’t matter, (Don’t matter) but these moments matter more than before. (These moments, They matter)
Some things don’t matter (Some things don’t matter, no), some things don’t matter at all (Don’t matter)
Some things don’t matter, (Some things, don’t matter) but these moments matter more than before
