[Joey Bada$$, J. Cole - LEGENDARY lyrics]
Yeah, uh yeah
This is legendary
Always been my mission, never secondary
Gettin' better every January, it's very scary
They gon' recognize eventually
I take it if they don't give it to me
Swear all of it was written for me (yep, yep)
By a higher conscious spiritually (up, up)
Up and away, jump on a plane
Get on my wave right now
I want you believe not only in me
But have some faith in yourself
I wish you peace and good health
Happiness and some wealth
I threw a coin in the well
'cause I was feelin' so well
A token of how I felt, never heard if it fell
Not a noise, not a sound
Still no reason to doubt
Quality what I sell, quantity in the sales
Quantum physics myself
Count a million atoms of cells
This life I'm livin' it out, damn right
My vision is now
Don't let the prisoner cell build
A strut to break out
My brothers at the brick house
The undercovers stakeout
Can't you see it's a trap? The
Type of shit I think 'bout
I sensed they needed my help
That's why I had to reach out
What you think I do it for? My
Brothers under a spell
It's clear we livin' in hell
The life of a black male
Right out the womb, you come out
And it's a bunch of blackmail
Just waitin' for you to fail
A special room in the jail with your name
A number on it so you property now
I see it properly now
It's what the poverty 'bout
It's all a game of Monopoly
Tryna cop me a house
An elephant in the room until
I fit in my tomb and introduced to my doom
They say the end comin' soon
Legends, they never die
The niggas only multiply
So put your fire up in the sky
'Cause they won't ever kill the light
They say the legends, they never die
The niggas only multiply
So put your fire up in the sky
'Cause they won't ever kill the light
Tables keep turning, which way do I go?
A fire's burning inside of my soul
Tables keep turning, which way do I go?
A fire's burning inside my control
Look, ready for whatever comes
I hope for the best
I taste the peace and pray
It never leave my tongue
But yet, before long, the feelings done
Perhaps I was foolish
Just like the boy that prays
To only see the sun
Maybe, life happens like tides
One minute you're low and feelin' shallow
Then all of a sudden you rise
Just, ride the wave, I say to myself
Find a way, the weight of my wealth
It's honestly a lot to bear
I play the game of stackin' knowin'
That I ought to share
How much does a man need? How much
Can he hoard before his greed?
How can a rich father teach
Humbleness to his seed? Just questions
The stubborn all get taught tough lessons
I look at all I got like, "What's missin'?"
God is my only guess, 'cause yes
Faith relieve the stress
I find peace again when I find
Him and see I'm blessed real blessed
Life has always got me wonderin'
(Wondering, wondering) Am I doin' it right?
Am I hurtin' myself?
Am I wrongin' the ones that love me the most?
What a burden to have
That ain't no way to live or maybe it is
Well, maybe it is
Tables keep turning, which way do I go?
A fire's burning inside of my soul
Tables keep turning, which way do I go?
A fire's burning inside my control
Legends, they never die
The niggas only multiply
So put your fire up in sky
'Cause they won't ever kill the light
They say the legends, they never die
The niggas only multiply
So put your fire up in sky
'Cause they won't ever kill the light
This is legendary, it's never secondary
I'm getting better every January
The idea of it alone is very scary
I kill my enemies by any means necessary
I said, this is legendary
It's never secondary
Getting better every January
The idea of it alone is very scary
I kill my enemies by any means necessary
