Mike Posner, Talib Kweli - Legacy lyrics
[Mike Posner, Talib Kweli - Legacy lyrics]
(Legacy) i can see the future
(Legacy) i know who I am
(Legacy) i think I can feel my (yeah)
(Legacy) lega lega legacy (Uh, uh, yeah)
Legacy is when you need no introductions
(None) you walk in the room and
Everybody start buzzin'
Legacy, when your reputation precedes you
Little kids grow up, they wanna be you
Legacy is when you're silent
But your presence felt
The product like drugs 'cause it sell it'self
Yeah, you survived many disasters and now
They hang your jersey from the rafters
(yeah)
And see these jokers gettin' greedier?
(Come on) gotta hit the road when the
Locals don't believe in ya
My music in museums, it's
Timeless as Mona Lisa, bruh
A legacy artist, I don't need social media
So, when you see me online, I'm havin' fun
Trust
Unjust situations make me wanna gun-bust
(Brrah) but I'm a man of peace
(yeah) , and so I plan to be poetic
With my words to help you
Curb and understand the beast
We keep it all love in the nightclub
(Let's go) they wanna turn the nightclub
Into the fight club (Let's go)
My life's blood runs deeper than a knife cut
This the crack that the dope boys slice up
My lyrics sound scary to
The corporate sellers (yeah)
I'm like '97 Rockafella, but more Griselda
(yeah) my observations make your heart stop
Like organ failure
So, they think that I could see
The future like a fortune teller
(Legacy) What? I can see the future
(Legacy) i know who I am
(Legacy) i think I can feel my
(Legacy) lega lega legacy
Heat-check, deep breath
I give all my love to ya, baby, Keith Sweat
Gimme 20 more miles, I don't need rest
I'm half way to goals I
Haven't even dreamed yet
And I don't need money, I need faith
People thinking that I'm some sort of DJ
But I'm a poet and a man and a troubadour
I'm divine light hidden in a human form
It doesn't matter what you do
It's what you do it for
There are some places that you
Can't take a Uber toward
Love people, keep a brave heart
Don't make guns, make art
I got Sequoia trees cheerin' me on
Wherever I am is where I belong
Some of my fam is buried and gone
I'm tryna learn more things I
Can share in my songs
Like life is a curtain that hides the divine
You can peak behind that when
You quiet the mind
I rely on something that's stronger than me
And all my songs will live
Much longer than me, that's
(Legacy) i can see the future
(Legacy) i know who I am
(Legacy) i think I can feel my
(Legacy) lega lega legacy
(Legacy) i know who I am
(Legacy) i think I can feel my (yeah)
