Legacy Lyrics by James Mac (UK)

Tension

0

[Chorus]
I don't want to be remembered for rapping about the money and bitches
Lord is my witness, I’m with this, but on the real do you feel this?
The message that I'm giving is that I'm living my life to the fullest
I’m dodging these bullets and motherfucker you can too!
Fuck the people hating and do what you love to do
Fuck the people hating and do what you love to do
Do what you love to do, listen

[Verse]
I was scared of being passionate
It is embarrassing to say out loud
But i'm proud to admit it
Scared of being criticised by the people
But now I'm writing the sequel to this album
So just forget it
The only person that matters is hearing all this right now
Got this playing in their ears, while they stare at the clouds
If you don't get it, think again, I'm talking ‘bout you
Absorb my lesson, don't be stressing, and stop feeling so blue
Yeah
I ain't had no dilemmas with my family or shit
I ain't grown up the streets begging for money and shit
I ain’t sold crack and I ain’t killing nobody for shit
I'm just making my music to entertain you and shit
I don’t stay strapped, or snap back
I'm not from the trap, I'm just trying to rap
And I swear to god all I'm trying to do is get up on to the map
I’m spitting this, ridiculous
Not sticking to the syllabus
I use my voice and find a beat
Not using any instruments
The vividness, it's villainous
It's fucking unpredictable,
 not fictional
I don't give a fuck bout the flow now, imbecile
‘Cause I'm the best, I'm the king
Shine from talent, not from bling
‘Cause what's some diamonds when you're gone and you pass away
No-one cared about your riches, now you're life's down the drain
Now your life is down the drain, 
Stunting on your fans instead of teaching
They ain't felt no gain, 
all they've felt is pain
Drop all of the ice, pick up the mic, and start spreading a message
How you gon' expect to have legacy? Ain't teaching lessons
Wasting all your life trying to impress the people around you
Do that shit and watch all of the negativity surround you
It ain't never gonna be fulfilling
You ain't gonna reach the ceiling
You gon' be stuck on the floor
Wishing you could have done some more
But it's over, it's done, it's too late
Had an opportunity but I guess that was your fate
This was your fate
Be who you want, do what you enjoy
Whether it's making music or chilling with your boys
Love your life and be remembered, that shit is my goal
I aspire to be at the level of Kenny and Cole
To be able to say ‘I've made it' when I'm old
I aspire to be proud of myself, If I've got diamonds or gold
That shit don't really matter to me right now
I was sitting in my bedroom, looking up in the clouds
But now I know where I'm headed and prepared for the journey
I'm giving you advice, but with each step I am learning
Learning how to be a better person
How to be a better boyfriend and spit better verses
How to love my family right and balance my passions
How to stay focused and ignore the distractions
See?
We are just like each other
I can't do simple things like get a girl to tell I love her
Everybody's got they problem but we can unite together
It's to all the people that are lost that I write this letter

[Chorus]
I don't want to be remembered for rapping about the money and bitches
Lord is my witness, I'm with this, but on the real do you feel this?
The message that I'm giving is that I'm living my life to the fullest
I'm dodging these bullets and motherfucker you can too!
Fuck the people hating and do what you love to do
Fuck the people hating and do what you love to do
I don't want to be remembered for rapping about the money and bitches
Lord is my witness, I'm with this, but on the real do you feel this?
The message that I'm giving is that I'm living my life to the fullest
I'm dodging these bullets and motherfucker you can too!
Fuck the people hating and do what you love to do
Fuck the people hating and do what you love to do
Do what you love to do, listen
