[00:08.16] |
How do you want to be remembered? |
[00:15.29] |
Being rich? |
[00:21.39] |
Visions of seeing my self as some what different |
[00:24.14] |
Reality got me feeling indifferent |
[00:25.67] |
I'm lifting this weight of my shoulders |
[00:27.36] |
But how older I get |
[00:28.40] |
I reload the clip and sip on something |
[00:30.34] |
I feel good for nothing |
[00:31.30] |
All my glory days behind me or beyond me |
[00:33.50] |
I'm folding like origami |
[00:34.82] |
My tables turning like interior decorating |
[00:37.26] |
Levels like elevators |
[00:38.49] |
These haters got me questioning my judgement |
[00:40.71] |
Tried by jury of my peers but with a judgement |
[00:43.33] |
What will my legacy be? |
[00:44.99] |
Who will my enemy be? |
[00:46.22] |
In due time as I write this rhyme |
[00:48.50] |
I don't know |
[00:49.10] |
Flash before my eyes |
[00:51.50] |
And on my deathbed what will I say as I pray |
[00:56.49] |
And reminisce of another day |
[00:58.19] |
I came from nothing, a child born in poverty |
[01:01.01] |
Went to college to gain knowledge |
[01:02.50] |
So they would acknowledge me |
[01:03.75] |
Honestly I got a good job |
[01:05.31] |
I found a woman made her my wife |
[01:07.06] |
But spent more time at work |
[01:08.92] |
So we could have a stable life |
[01:10.42] |
And when my son was born |
[01:11.52] |
I had to work even harder |
[01:12.98] |
Before I knew it my wife was giving birth to my daughter |
[01:15.75] |
Went from 40 hours a week to 80 |
[01:17.86] |
Ain't nobody going pay me but myself |
[01:19.77] |
Sacrificing my time and my health for wealth |
[01:22.32] |
I missed a birthday, miss a anniversary |
[01:24.78] |
There's lots of people in this world that are worse than me |
[01:27.30] |
I wasn't there for my son's first words |
[01:29.75] |
But he ain't grow up in the hood like me we in the burbs |
[01:32.85] |
Sacrifice a couple years |
[01:34.27] |
He can have all the money when I'm gone |
[01:36.91] |
What a fool I was I missed his graduation |
[01:39.93] |
I missed her a wedding day |
[01:41.27] |
I didn't even get to give my little girl a way but |
[01:44.12] |
I paid for the honeymoon, yeah, I paid for the honeymoon |
[01:48.72] |
I'm not there right now but I will be later |
[01:51.62] |
I'm working on something that's greater |
[01:55.42] |
That's my legacy |
[01:59.30] |
I'm going to be remembered by generations to come |
[02:02.57] |
Damn, you dumb |
[02:05.11] |
You won't be remembered by your son |
[02:08.04] |
To be remembered by generations to come |
[02:11.96] |
You a fool |
[02:12.68] |
You won't be remembered by your son |
[02:14.20] |
Nonsense, nonsense |
[02:15.69] |
I said to the man with no money, nonsense |
[02:18.83] |
Step back who running from me I don't know my own identity |
[02:24.41] |
I look in the mirror I ain't clearer |
[02:27.51] |
I'm just trying to be free, who is that, it surely ain't me |
[02:31.32] |
As I lay on my deathbed I realized I was wrong |
[02:35.04] |
I have been the richest man in the world all along |
[02:38.15] |
A beautiful family that all I did was ignore |
[02:40.94] |
For financial stability and the fear of being poor |
[02:43.67] |
'Cause when I was a child knew I always wanted more |
[02:46.31] |
When I was a child knew I always |
[02:48.17] |
Wanted more, more, more |
[02:50.79] |
Now I got it |
[02:52.48] |
Now I'm laying in this bed cancer spreading through my lungs |
[02:56.23] |
Looking at my family like damn y'all were the ones |
[02:58.97] |
I sacrifice my life for 100's 50's 20's 10's 5's |
[03:01.96] |
And 1's so dumb I give it all |
[03:04.02] |
If I could do it for my heart again not my wallet |
[03:08.14] |
I hate to recall it but it's gone now legacy is gone now |
[03:14.38] |
Sacrifice my health for wealth no it wasn't worth it |
[03:18.86] |
But as I take my last breath I know that I deserved it |
[03:21.67] |
Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy |
[03:27.03] |
The Legacy you going to leave behind you forever |
[03:29.23] |
Is the blood in your veins wake up daddy now |
[03:31.57] |
Is the time for change and as your child |
[03:33.69] |
I'm telling you I don't give a damn |
[03:35.35] |
If we living on change daddy just as long as we live in, |
[03:38.95] |
Just as long as we live in daddy, |
[03:41.78] |
I just want to be happy |
[03:44.17] |
I don't give a damn if we live in a shoebox |
[03:46.09] |
Now my mama going to tell you what you got |
[03:48.63] |
I love you, I love you, |
[03:50.07] |
I love you I want you I need you I crave you |
[03:51.94] |
Why you throw away this ***** that I gave you |
[03:54.51] |
Why you ******* around behind my back |
[03:56.87] |
While I'm home raising my children |
[03:58.50] |
Feel like a single mother even though a ring up on it |
[04:01.22] |
Supposed to be like husband |
[04:02.58] |
And wife you more like my opponent |
[04:04.24] |
Finger ******* myself because ******* fidelity |
[04:06.59] |
I'd rather look in the mirror be happy who I see |
[04:09.54] |
Sometimes I want to take my babies and go to my mama crib |
[04:12.76] |
Can I live? |
[04:14.38] |
Can I have a life away from my life |
[04:16.79] |
Be the woman that I would have been if I wasn't your wife |
[04:20.22] |
You know I love them but if that test wasn't positive |
[04:24.59] |
I would have had a lot to give |
[04:26.28] |
Sometimes I want to divorce your ass and take half, ************ |
[04:31.76] |
But I stay 'cause I love these children |
[04:35.02] |
And I love you deep down, that's why I stick around, but |
[04:38.33] |
You never there because you just want to be the best |
[04:41.87] |
You just want to make this money |
[04:43.39] |
Come get this ***** ************ |
[04:46.45] |
Come get this ***** and love your children |
[04:50.52] |
**** your legacy |
[04:52.68] |
**** it |
[04:54.72] |
Float in the abyss of nothingness my consciousness |
[04:57.00] |
Remembers a life before it hits black |
[04:58.55] |
I wish I could get back and then I realize that |
[05:01.30] |
All this s**t is just a daydream |
[05:02.99] |
And there's only like four of us in a tour bus |
[05:05.37] |
And I'm in the back, how about that? |
[05:06.77] |
Think about my legacy |
[05:08.56] |
And as how we as human beings sacrifice help for money |
[05:12.08] |
Ain't it funny? |
[05:12.79] |
'Cause in the end we spent all our money |
[05:15.09] |
On repairing our body and mind |
[05:17.04] |
When we really should have just spent time |
[05:22.64] |
**** a legacy |
[05:25.01] |
I'mma go live my life |
[05:26.86] |
Peace |
