[AKIR, Mas-D, Vex-One - Legacy lyrics]

Let's build institutions let's build, y'know
Things that will at least let our children
Know– before they even come out
The whom– that you got something
To look forward to
Y'know, that's important and if
We're not doing that
Then we're just masturbating really

Yo, I was once to a story of old
A tail of lovers and foes
Yo, you wanna hear it? Here it goes:
Grand daddy was a radio man
A type set a surviver
Alive cause he didn't bother lies of men
He tried to rise against, but persecuted
He was wise and left in time to try again
So the man moved his fams to a brand new land
Told his wife and young children "we
Gone do as we can"
Daughter become a mother, son become a doctor


Old man and wife loving life
Trying not to succumb to the guilt
Of the past they left
Numbed from the dignity of which
They now are rest
He takes pleasure in children's
Modicum of success
Builds with his grandson who
He loves the best
Like this, he passes on all
Of his love, knowledge, and stress
In his golden years
Finally getting it off his chest
He too learns a lesson from
The knowledge he imparts
A chip off the old block
That's how the legacy starts
And though he's gone now
I keep a place for him in my heart
For forgetting where we've been
We realized we have not

Only you can make it better
You got to make it easier so the
Rest of us can make it butchu gotta show me
Show me what I got to do
To keep on going strong
Keep the legacy moving on

Humble my soul, i don't fumble over faith's
Control over my path
Keep it towards my goals, take a hold
Cause time is fast, learning from my past
Making moves for my legacy
They raking dough and make they own
Retiring, expiring, there's no security
Surely the fury is enough to ensure me
I can support seeds, I can ensure cheese
If I just explore deeds
Even with no short days
I plan to breed more kids
Too many niggas doing time, violating laws
I like the shine
But never went and tucked my chain inside
Don't got no ride, don't even own a house yet
So fuck accessorizing outfit's
My hobby is to count chips
We never had shit
And learned the game backwards
On some Simmons, Johnson, and dad shit
Flip it and cash it
No disrespect, but where's the passion?
There's no example of us lasting
In this cruel world of Anglo-Saxons
I see ya'll releasing all for a feature
The retards, while they fee ball
Watching they melt they power– recharge
They hurting
And all the glitter really don't mean shit
No name could run the game
On some Kennedy shit
The remedy's this: teaching the mindframe
Of penny less bliss
And the driver revolt the
Slaves taking his ship
His eye portals see more keep yours
Teach the kids to reach for the stars
So we can keep ballin'

Only you can make it better
You got to make it easier so the
Rest of us can make it butchu gotta show me
Show me what I got to do
To keep on going strong
Keep the legacy moving on

I ain't got time for gettin' in battles
Let's look around to reconsider that
We live in this battle
This war on poverty has got me stressed
I need money to breathe, so I got to scheme
Just to give my pockets breath
My wallet need the Heimlich– preform CPR
Do it: be an E up on your TV and your VCR
Hit the grocery stores, we got it sown up
Team effort– he get the G's
I'm stealing cold cuts
Ain't no "I" in "team"
Ain't no "I" in "hungry"
Check the pyramid, believe me
There's a eye in money
Never seen it? Need to look
You need to teach a child to read a book
Buddy more concerned with how
His sneakers look
Infatuated with the Bloods and Crips
Sex, money, and drugs throwing gangs signs
Now let's pick up our grips
The media got it televised, glorified
Mother's cry, horrified
Cause their son is gonna die

Only you can make it better
You got to make it easier so the
Rest of us can make it butchu gotta show me
Show me what I got to do
To keep on going strong
Keep the legacy moving on

We can create that legacy
We can have those people to
Follow up with that
And that's what we need more than anything we
Need a follower we need
Somebody to do something
That bad and strong and dazzling and hip
And then the kids say "man
That's what I'mana do" without
Causing us all this crazy
Money and trynna fit next door to the Tommy
Killing niggas y'know, we need
To do something that's gonna
Be about us clearly, that shows us loving us
His legacy will live on in
Our hearts for all eternity
