Legacy Lyrics by Dyve

Legacy

2018

Yeah
Man, like

[Verse 1]
I was 6 years old, just chillin' with my pops
He asked me what I wanna be in life, I kinda just stopped
'Cause I didn't really know
Probably be a superhero
Like Spider-Man, you know that was my man from the go
But instead, he just pulled some J's out of the closet
And a basketball to go with it all, like he just bought it
Waiting for the age where I'd finally get to play
He sat me down so we could finally get to talkin'
And he said, son
This is my legacy I leave it for you
It's something that's a part of me, now a part of you too
And it's more than just a game, and it's more than just a sport
If there ever truly is a sign of God, it's the proof
It'll teach you how to work, how to love, how to lose
All the dedication needed to be the man that you choose
I'm leaving it for you so you can be the better man
And he handed me the rock like he put the world in my hands

[Chorus]
And now I'm dribblin', yeah yeah
And now I'm dribblin', yeah yeah
And now I'm dribblin', yeah
I put some shots up and I'm dribblin', man
And now I'm dribblin', yeah yeah
And now I'm dribblin', yeah yeah
And now I'm dribblin', yeah
I put some shots up and I'm dribblin'

[Verse 2]
Man I’ll never forget that first shot that I put through the net
And the heat off your skin, and the drip of your sweat
That feeling you get, soon as you making it wet
When all of a sudden the crowd is picking up on your rep
But my most favorite part that I’ll never forget
Is the time I was spendin' building life long friends
All the road trips laughin' bout the stupidest shit
Man we always shared a laugh whether we lose or we win
But now we all are older and we got our own lives
It's gettin' harder not to think about the good old times
It's gettin' harder not to think what I'ma do with my life
Man I’m almost 23, what I'ma do with my life?
See we might'a stopped playing, but we dribblin' shit
Tryna balance all our lives, and man we get what we get
But if I could do it all again I wouldn’t do it any different
I'ma dribble with my father and my friends 'til the end

[Chorus]
And we dribblin', yeah yeah
And we dribblin', yeah yeah
And we dribblin', yeah
We put some shots up and we dribblin', man
And we dribblin', yeah yeah
And we dribblin', yeah yeah
And we dribblin', yeah
We put some shots up and we dribblin'

[Verse 3]
Man, I’m 75 and still alive
Like damn it went fast
I know somewhere up above my father's havin' a laugh
Every lesson that he told me addin' up like it’s math
And every time I'm looking dumb 'cause I ain't listen to the man
And now I’m thinking, man, where my legacy at?
As I’m staring at the child of my child on my lap
And it hits me all at once, man this is where it at
I said son, go get that ball and let me show you who you are
I said, this is my legacy I leave it for you
And it's something that's a part of me, now a part of you too
And it's more than just a game, and it's more than just a sport
If there ever truly is a sign of God, it's the proof
It'll teach you how to work, how to love, how to lose
All the dedication needed to be the man that you choose
I'm leaving it for you so you can be the better man
I handed him the rock like I put the world in his hands

[Chorus]
And now he's dribblin', yeah yeah
And now he's dribblin', yeah yeah
And now he's dribblin', yeah
He put some shots up and he's dribblin', man
Now he's dribblin', yeah yeah
And now he's dribblin', yeah yeah
And now he's dribblin', yeah
He put some shots up and he's dribblin'

[Speech- outro]
Man. I, I love my parents so much, can't believe this album is finally done. I just, big shout out to them. Uh, to my best friends that always been there supporting me. Shout out to my boy AHop, bro, we killed this bro! It over! The album is finally done man. Ah man, it's crazy. It's been, it's been a long road but it's finally done. It's there, let's do it, let's do it!
