Legacy (Ft. Shmel)
[V1]
Yeah, look
Last night, I took a drive down memory lane
Thinking, bout all the dark days I overcame
And all the blessings in my life I could never repay
If one thing had changed, today wouldn’t be the same
Ever since I hit the stage at 8 years old
I knew it was a home where my story could be told
All these years passed and now I’m grown
On the road, shooting shows, just want my name to be known
But whatever comes next, isn’t just anyone’s guess
I’m strategizing my steps in hopes it brings me success
Always had the drive, cuz there’s no other route
I’m glad I failed at taking the easy way out
Ain’t no S on my chest, but my power is super
When I speak into existence what I want for the future
Cuz I make it, create it, & breathe it to life
Gotta think ahead to know what you wanna leave behind
Cuz I
[Hook]
I know this life was meant for me
I’m chasing my destiny
Praying to the stars, so heavenly
Had to ask myself
What’s your legacy?
What’s your legacy?
[V2]
Do you really know love till you’ve lost something?
I hope you never have to feel that pain
But do you really know loss till you have nothing?
Cuz I have and after it ain’t left me the same
I really had to treat the mic like it’s therapy
Didn’t want my fam to worry bout me heavily
But now I got things heating up just like summer
My mom’s an accountant, ha
Guess that we both tryna do numbers
It’s all a part of my plans, I can’t leave it to chance
Steady workin’ to never worry about finances
I been picked on, pushed down
Laughed at, clowned on
But like a wheel, I kept it pushing and rolled on
It’s a marathon, and I’m aiming to finish
Had to learn the difference
Between who’s my corner or business
Cuz whatever they say about me, I’m not really concerned
I know my worth, and I’ll get everything I deserve

[V3]
Look
I put purpose in every move, so I’ll just let them assume
Can’t let those with no vision come and cloud up my view
Dodging all the shade they throwin' at me so I can shine
Cuz everything that’s meant to happen will in due time
They always say, “Remember me when you’re famous”
But will you remember me if I don’t make it?
Had to drop my old ways cuz they won’t open new doors
So when I’m gone, what do I wanna be known for? Hm
Even when I was broke, I wasn’t broken
Used to be stuck behind my walls, but now I’m bustin’ em open
Makin’ plays LA with that hustle from Vegas
So I’m killing it everytime I hop up on these stages
And I would love to make a name for myself in this biz
But I’d rather be a better dad than I had for my kids
If I ever lose my life, remember what I did
Cuz love was all I wanted to give
Hope I
Gave my brothers and sister someone to look up to
So they know that they can also make their dreams come true
To my pops, I know I ain’t seen you in a minute
I was busy tryna build a life you’d finally be proud of me living
Can’t afford to be patient cuz the time’s a-wastin
If you haters thought I’d miss my shot, you’re mistaken
I got the passion to make it and skill to create it
So this show must go on for your entertainment
