Legacy

When I was a young boy I knew I would go far I had all the support a child could ask for A loving family, birthday presents Sunday scriptures, a divine essence But as life goes, values change And as life goes, the clouds form rain But before the storm had started, we gotta see what stirred it We gotta see its process I never fit in with a bubble I wanted more to living I wanted it to rupture I felt it in my soul My voice had more to offer But I was still in first grade Attention's all I prospered Had to move school for my mind sake If I didn't find subjects challenging Boredom filled throughout my mind state This dilemma would carry on and I'm not talking baggage The plane had started lifting, I knew I had to grab it I want to build a legacy I want the world to envy me I will never fall into the trap like others leaving what they dreamed I want to build a legacy I want the world to envy me I will never fall into the trap like others leaving what they dreamed When I was a junior, I discovered art Grew up on Gorillaz, Eminem, and Bruno Mars Loved the passion, glamor and fame that came with it Was destined in my roots, so I started training quick But life ain't filled with fairytales and rainbows Better watch your back cause life can break like Legos Had a stable family but I was unstable Turned to games to play away the thoughts that felt like staples I started playing piano at this young age So excited to learn what favorite artists made But my teacher always found a way to judge me Called me names and slapped my hand cause "I never played right keys" I remember those times vividly What I once loved didn't speak to me as visually Added on that I was bullied for my size All this hatred for the world had started brewing in my eyes I want to build a legacy I want the world to envy me I will never fall into the trap like others leaving what they dreamed I want to build a legacy I want the world to envy me I will never fall into the trap like others leaving what they dreamed When I was teen, it all made sense Life doesn't matter, what even comes next Why should I try when the outcomes predetermined My philosophy set and stone I idled not learning I did drugs, and a lot of them Thought they'd answer questions I had with the higher men But the only one higher was my mind again Elevated to a new level they couldn't comprehend So I picked fights and a lot of them Wanted to challenge all of the ladders they had me climbing in Wanted to fight all the bullies, that flexed their size again Always saw through the wool and fur that they'd be hiding in Was a bold kid, always wanted to make statements But was too shy from the world that I'd been facing I was at dead end ready to just end it all Cause no one listened to voices I'd been hearing since I was small I want to build a legacy I want the world to envy me I will never fall into the trap like others leaving what they dreamed I want to build a legacy I want the world to envy me I will never fall into the trap like others leaving what they dreamed When I was in college, I grew hungrier Knew this my chance to prove to the world That I was gifted, I was focused Had a vision, time to notice I'll never forget when I first told my story People were speechless from the words I said My shell had opened, from the shadow That I lived in, as a kid I finally shared the pain within me I finally voiced the thoughts that pinned me Became the keeper of my kingdom And I'll keep reigning till I've risen One day I'll live my life moses Then they'll start throwing some roses With a target in the distance I'll keep running with persistence Don't got much to say now I'll finally found a way out One day you'll wish that you stayed when I was in the playground Don't got much to say now I'll finally found a place out One day you'll wish that you stayed when I was in my safehouse Do not bother me No, do not follow me When I was struggling Were you there for me Do not bother me No, do not call for me When I finally make it Will you make a statement I want to build a legacy, I want the world to envy me I will never fall into the trap like others leaving what they dreamed I want to build a legacy, I want the world to envy me I will never fall into the trap like others leaving what they dreamed I want to build a legacy, I want the world to envy me I will never fall into the trap like others leaving what they dreamed I want to build a legacy, I want the world to envy me I will never fall into the trap like others leaving what they dreamed
