Legacy

Yo
Hype - what it’s all about, right
Making sure you look good in the spotlight
Making sure you get live in the limelight
Making sure you’ve got time when the time’s right
Fame - ready for it, ain’t you
Cause there ain’t no turning back once you break through
Cause there ain’t no prize ’til they claim you
Cause there ain’t nobody else, cause they can’t do it
Storm - let ‘em know I came through it
Came to pick up the pieces when the game blew it
Came to pick up a craft and put my brain to it
And to pick up a sound and put my name to it
Game - but I’ll never play cool
Been the best since I graduated grade school
Been the best since I played with that Playskool
Been the best, and the rest just play fools
I wanna leave behind more than my funds
I wanna leave something more for my daughters and for my sons
I want to accomplish being more than content
More than being successful, more than paying the rent
Something funny? I don’t remember making a joke
I’m only 21 and look at how I’m making ‘em choke
Already - told y'all, how many times have I said it
The name's C-A-M, don't you ever forget it
When I’m long gone, I wanna leave a legacy
When they put my songs on, I want them to remember me
I’ve made mistakes that I will never regret
I just wanna be somebody they could never forget
When I’m long gone, I wanna leave an imprint
I could be long gone - yeah, gone in an instant
But I can never undo, never reset
So you know I’mma give you something you could never forget
Half of you hack jobs come and go like flash mobs
Say you popping caps, but really you pop in caps lock
Snapbacks and tattoos, fuck with me and that’s bad news
Started up because I love this shit, but I kept it up cause I had to
You? You could never do it like this, don't even know how to write hits, shit
Me? Already a legend in the making, world's mine for the taking
So, tell me - how you tryna talk shit? You would kill for this shit, stop fronting
I'ma talk my shit 'til I've got my shit on the Billboard Hot 100
Still the dude that gets this shit done
32 bars to tell you you've got none
I’ll be at the Ritz, you'll be buzzing off your Ritalin
When I drop the mic, that bitch still sizzling
Don’t mumble - tryna be less humble
Rap game Tarzan, welcome to the jungle
You were missing pong shots, I was selling tickets
So I’ll be getting applause, and you’ll be getting crickets
Bitches
When I’m long gone, I wanna leave a legacy
When they put my songs on, I want them to remember me
I’ve made mistakes that I will never regret
I just wanna be somebody they could never forget
When I’m long gone, I wanna leave an imprint
I could be long gone - yeah, gone in an instant
But I can never undo, never reset
So you know I’mma give you something you could never forget
When I'm long gone, I wanna leave a legacy
I want them to remember me, uh
When I'm long gone, I wanna leave an imprint
I just wanna be somebody they could never forget
I could be long gone - yeah, gone in an instant
I want them to remember me
I just wanna be somebody they could never forget
