[Intro: Logic]
~#**************#~
You
~#**************#~
You, you, you, you, you
~#**************#~
You, you, you
~#**************#~
How do you want to be remembered?
~#**************#~
Just being rich?
~#**************#~
Yeah, yeah
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Uh
~#**************#~
Visions of seeing myself as someone different
~#**************#~
Reality got me feeling indifferent
~#**************#~
Im lifting this weight off my shoulder
~#**************#~
But hold up, older I get
~#**************#~
I reload the clip and sip on something
~#**************#~
I feel good for nothing
~#**************#~
All my glory days behind me or beyond me
~#**************#~
I’m folding like origami
~#**************#~
My tables turning like interior decorators
~#**************#~
Levels like elevators
~#**************#~
These haters got me questioning my judgement
~#**************#~
Tried by a jury of my peers, but where the judge went?
~#**************#~
What will my legacy be?
~#**************#~
Who will my enemy be?
~#**************#~
In due time as I write this rhyme
~#**************#~
I dont know
~#**************#~
Flash before my eyes
~#**************#~
Yeah, uh
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
And on my deathbed what will I say as I pray?
~#**************#~
And reminisce of another day, uh
~#**************#~
I came from nothing, a child born in poverty
~#**************#~
Went to college to gain knowledge
~#**************#~
So they would acknowledge me
~#**************#~
Honestly, I got a good job
~#**************#~
I found a woman, made her my wife
~#**************#~
But spent more time at work
~#**************#~
So we could have a stable life
~#**************#~
And when my son was born
~#**************#~
I had to work even harder
~#**************#~
Before I knew it, now my wife was giving birth to my daughter
~#**************#~
Went from 40 hours a week to 80
~#**************#~
Aint nobody gon’ pay me but myself
~#**************#~
Sacrifice my time and my health, for wealth
~#**************#~
I missed a birthday, miss an anniversary
~#**************#~
Theres lots of people in this world thats worse than me
~#**************#~
I wasnt there for my sons first words
~#**************#~
But he aint grow up in the hood like me, we in the burbs
~#**************#~
Sacrifice a couple years, he could have all the money when Im gone
~#**************#~
What a fool I was
~#**************#~
I missed his graduation, I missed her wedding day
~#**************#~
I didnt even get to give my little girl away
~#**************#~
But I paid for the honeymoon, yeah, I paid for the honeymoon
~#**************#~
I’m not there right now but I will be later
~#**************#~
I’m working on something thats greater
~#**************#~
That’s my legacy
~#**************#~
Uh, Im gon be remembered by generations to come
~#**************#~
Damn, you dumb
~#**************#~
You wont be remembered by your son
~#**************#~
Uh, yeah
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
To be remembered by generations to come
~#**************#~
You a fool
~#**************#~
You won’t be remembered by your son
~#**************#~
“Nonsense, nonsense!”
~#**************#~
I said to the man with no money, nonsense, uh, uh
~#**************#~
Step back who running from me I dont know my own identity
~#**************#~
I look in the mi-look in the mi-the mirror, I aint clearer
~#**************#~
Im just trying to be free— who is that? It surely aint me
~#**************#~
As I lay on my deathbed, I realized I was wrong
~#**************#~
I have been the richest man in the world all along
~#**************#~
A beautiful family that all I did was ignore
~#**************#~
For financial stability and fear of being poor
~#**************#~
‘Cause when I was a child, knew I always wanted more
~#**************#~
When I was a child, knew I always wanted more, more, more
~#**************#~
And now I got it, uh
~#**************#~
And now Im laying in this bed; cancer spreading through my lungs
~#**************#~
Looking at my family like “Damn, yall were the ones”
~#**************#~
I sacrificed my life for 100s, 50s, 20s, 10s, 5s, and 1s
~#**************#~
So dumb, Id give it all if I could
~#**************#~
Do it for my heart again, not my wallet
~#**************#~
I hate to recall it but its gone now—legacy is gone now
~#**************#~
Sacrifice my health for wealth, no, it wasnt worth it
~#**************#~
But as I take my last breath, I know that I deserved it
~#**************#~
[Verse 4]
~#**************#~
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy
~#**************#~
The legacy you gon leave behind you forever is the blood in your veins
~#**************#~
Wake up, Daddy, now is the time for change
~#**************#~
And as your child Im telling you I dont give a damn if we living on change, Daddy
~#**************#~
Just as long as we livin
~#**************#~
Just as long as we livin, Daddy
~#**************#~
I just want to be happy, I dont give a damn if we live in a shoebox
~#**************#~
Now my mama gon tell you what you got
~#**************#~
[Verse 5]
~#**************#~
I love you, I love you, I love you, I want you, I need you, I crave you
~#**************#~
Why you throw away this pussy that I gave you?
~#**************#~
Why you fucking round behind my back
~#**************#~
While Im home raising my children?
~#**************#~
Feel like a single mother even though a ring up on it
~#**************#~
Supposed to be husband and wife, you more like my opponent
~#**************#~
Finger fucking myself cause fuck infidelity
~#**************#~
Id rather look in the mirror be happy who I see
~#**************#~
Sometimes I want to take my babies and go to my mama crib
~#**************#~
Can I live?
~#**************#~
Can I have a life away from my life?
~#**************#~
Be the woman that I would have been if I wasnt your wife?
~#**************#~
You know I love em—but if that test wasnt positive
~#**************#~
I woulda had a lot to give
~#**************#~
Sometimes I want to divorce your ass and take half
~#**************#~
Motherfucker
~#**************#~
But I stay cause I love these children
~#**************#~
And I love you deep down, thats why I stick around, but
~#**************#~
You never there
~#**************#~
‘Cause you just want to be the best
~#**************#~
You just want to make this money, uh
~#**************#~
Come get this pussy, motherfucker
~#**************#~
Come get this pussy and love your children
~#**************#~
Fuck your legacy
~#**************#~
Fuck it
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Float in the abyss of nothingness
~#**************#~
My consciousness remembers a life before it hits black
~#**************#~
I wish that I could get back and then I realize that all this shit is just a daydream
~#**************#~
And theres only like four of us on the tour bus
~#**************#~
And Im in the back, how bout that?
~#**************#~
Thinkin bout my legacy
~#**************#~
And how we as human beings sacrifice health for money
~#**************#~
Aint it funny?
~#**************#~
‘Cause in the end, we spend all our money on repairing our body and mind
~#**************#~
When we really should have just spent time
~#**************#~
Fuck a legacy
~#**************#~
Ima go live my life
~#**************#~
Peace
