Legacy Lyrics by YONAS

About Time

2018

[Verse 1]
I stopped wasting energy
And started building a legacy
Yo, what happened to the unity?
Don't want to ever have to read another eulogy
This shit ain't have nothing to do with me
I'm trying to tell you how I feel
What the fuck they gonna do to me?
Trying to hold on to everything that's true to me

[Hook]
Cuz they trying to take me away
But I won't go
Cuz they trying to take me away
But I won't go
But I won't go
But I won't go

[Verse 2]
I'm working for a high power
My words are bullets, I feel it in a firepower
Sniping 'em out, I'm watching from my high tower
What we praying for when we hit the final hour?
These are the thoughts of a soldier
If the enemy gets a centimetre closer
Pay the penalty, semi auto out the holster
Bang bang, then it's over

[Hook]
Cuz they trying to take me away
Trying to kill the dream I have inside
Cuz they trying to take me away
But I won't go
But I won't go
But I won't go
But I won't go
But I won't go

[Verse 3]
Forever is a mighty long time, but forever is the light y'all need so I shine
See the glass staircase to the sky
Now I climb all the way, ain't telling all the things that I'll find
And they really try and block my path
But it was written, so they really can't stop my wrath
And they really try and stop my flow, so I had to let them know
That I won't go

[Hook]
But I won't go
But I won't go
But I won't go
