Legend

[Verse 1]
Nobody sticks together, no one believes traditions
People leave and quit, and now I never see persistence
I see the good, the bad, and people who don't see the difference
I do not wish to be like you, so we should keep some distance
'Cause see for instance, love should be just instant
Even infants comprehend it, tell me why you preach against it
Oh, you too egotistic to even seek assistance?
Well, if you can't be consistent, you might as well cease existence
I was raised by a queen, but she worked like a slave
And, yeah, she taught me to mean every word that I say
Taught me to treat people right 'cause I deserve what I gave
Now I want nothin' but perfect in every verse that I lay
My mamma did some things for money, yeah, so what if she did?
She did what she had to do so we had a place to live
She put food up on the table so we had a grace to give
Yeah, them bands will make her dance 'cause them bands will feed the kids
And I ain't ashamed of that, not ashamed of that, I repeat myself, I bring it back
I could lie to you and try to hide the truth, but, tell me, what part of the game is that?
No, I came to work, I came to work, I run that game 'til my ankles hurt
She the reason I stand tall today, damn right, I give thanks to her

[Chorus]
No, I don't know just where I'm gonna be
Or what I'm gon' be doin' in another year or three
All I know, all I know is I'll be far from where I'm at
Gonna live to be a legend, yeah, I'm down to die for that
I don't know, I don't know just where I'm gonna be
Or what I'm gon' be doin' in another year or three
All I know, all I know is I'll be far from where I'm at
Gonna live to be a legend, yeah, I'm down to die for that

[Verse 2]
I see you try to fit in, I see the separation
I've heard about your dreams, I see no preparation
You talk about success like it's just a destination
Wishin' every day for somethin' doesn't count as dedication
Dedicated to you basic-headed, bougie bitches
Head too high to smell the roses, nails too clean to do the dishes
I used to holla, but you acted way too cool to listen
Now I get to taste revenge, I swear this shit is too delicious
N-Now I'm elevated, you still get hella faded
Your life is not progressing, but, yet, you celebrate it
Still live that same old, same life, still getting medicated
Still living day-to-day like nothing's premeditated
Like you the baddest with your eyes low, tripping
With a child at home sitting, while you styrofoam sipping
Coming home with strange men while he lie alone and listen
Then wake up and go to work, and deny his whole existence
Shit!
Where the dreams at? Tha-That's where my team's at
And we gonna change the world, yeah, I really mean that
So until then, you can find me in my zone
And that's where I stay, even if it means I die alone

[Chorus]
I don't know, I don't know just where I'm gonna be
Or what I'm gon' be doin' in another year or three
All I know, all I know is I'll be far from where I'm at
Gonna live to be a legend, yeah, I'm down to die for that
I don't know, I don't know just where I'm gonna be
Or what I'm gon' be doin' in another year or three
All I know, all I know is I'll be far from where I'm at
Gonna live to be a legend, yeah, I'm down to die for that
