Die a Legend Lyrics by Abstract

2012

[Chorus]
Yeah, we're just tryna die some legends
If they ain't with us then forget 'em
Yeah, we're just tryna die some legends
If they ain't with us then forget 'em
So put your hands up
Throw them A's in the air if you had enough
If you just kept goin' when the road was rough
Now the work that you puttin' in had enough, yeah
Yeah, we're just tryna die some legends
If they ain't with us then forget 'em

[Verse 1]
Live a life, grind mine nine-to-five
To everybody doin' that, I be askin' why
We be lookin' for the "lights, camera, actions"
Steady workin' when I write, typin' with a passion
Ace of the deck, ain't nobody here can match him
Rise in the game, turn stars into has-beens
Just workin' to die a legend
When they classify the greats, gotta get my name mentioned
Yeah, that's how it's gon' be
Make hits all year, they make tracks all week
Confidence worth mills, and the notes sound me
Could do hundred on the fan base just last week
Girls all down 'cause they see that I'm headed up
What a crazy feel, knowin' and not gettin' love
When they take shots at me, put 'em in my cup
Then I'll take it to my success, fill it up
I wanna step through the Walk of Fames
Stop for a second just to show my momma name
Show 'em that it all was worth it
Makin' the future instead of time gettin' purchased
In a classroom, waitin' on life
But I ain't waitin' for nothin', don't know what that's like
I want 'em thinkin' I was [Lennon?] in the past life
How I'm thinkin' me and [Faro?] was my past wife
Year '93 took forever
Show me what you got, I'll show you that I do it better
And tryna be your average Joe
They'd be lyin' if they said I had an average flow
Only gettin' with the times, lettin' averages go
Say I'm dope when you touchin' me, cases is closed
Can't be here much long, gotta get on the road
Spittin' fire on the world, that's a heavenly cold

[Chorus]
Yeah, we're just tryna die some legends
If they ain't with us then forget 'em
Yeah, we're just tryna die some legends
If they ain't with us then forget 'em
So put your hands up
Throw them A's in the air if you had enough
If you just kept goin' when the road was rough
Now the work that you puttin' in had enough, yeah
Yeah, we're just tryna die some legends
If they ain't with us then forget 'em

[Verse 2]
It's a new day, they live the wrong way
Dependant on another just to get they own pay
I look in the mirror, sayin', "Do what I say"
Everything I do these days, I do it my way
Kids questionin', askin', "Can I be my own boss?"
Yeah, son, society's got you brainwashed
Who are they to tell you that you can't lead?
Sittin' in a classroom trained to be sheep
Can't take it and I know I gotta leave
Born, no one suited it, I have to live my dream
Supreme to be a legend in the rappin'
Only thing I hope is I'm alive when it happens
Whoever's got the torch better get ready to pass it
Realest to the death, till then I'll be goin' ham
Only time I'll be fake is at the hologram
Gotta do what I gotta do, understand?

[Chorus]
Yeah, we're just tryna die some legends
If they ain't with us then forget 'em
Yeah, we're just tryna die some legends
If they ain't with us then forget 'em
So put your hands up
Throw them A's in the air if you had enough
If you just kept goin' when the road was rough
Now the work that you puttin' in had enough, yeah
Yeah, we're just tryna die some legends
If they ain't with us then forget 'em
