Slaine, Vinnie Paz, ILL BILL, Jared Evan - Legendary lyrics
[Slaine, Vinnie Paz, ILL BILL, Jared Evan - Legendary lyrics]
I was walking with my Walkman on
Boppin' with no vodka spillin'
Escape in a maze, in a haze
It was an awesome feelin'
Spending fences, Starbucks, dreaming
Talking millions
Cut out patches taped to cross
Of walls and ceilings
The trolley car rumbled by my window
I'm rocking Marley Marl to calm me down
Before I ever popped a benzo
I might be young
But the world I seen how cold it is
This night I heard the sirens
Someone stabbed one of the older kids below
The ribs he bled and died
I seen his mother and his brethren cry
With vengeant eyes lookin up to heaven skies
That's when I learned about time and how it
Never lies and never stops for nobody
And I was only seven might have been eight
Or nine fine that was all it took
Took everything I felt and saw
I wrote it in a book
My mother found my shoe box and
Knew I had a honest heart
Life was hard she knew knocks I
Haven't hit the hardest spot
I remember in the days when things were new
I just wanted to be legendary, ooh
Everything that's so cold
Is announced through that's what you do
To be legendary, ooh yeah
Yo, yo i was walking with my Walkman on
Brooklyn similar to Lebanon
Straight bullets, third world the bad sty
East New York creeps with hawks swift
For yours before the reaper draws
Take ten paces, pull out
And let the sweeper roar
Sweet like candy till an ambulance is handy
But minute laughing and happy till
They massacre your family
It was all good a week ago, peep it slow
Hindsight's 20-20 and killers
Like money money
I rather cherish than perish, rhyme terrorist
Climb Everest
My endeavors give me wings, ride Pegasus
Gimme purpose, light a fire in a furnace
I provide a service, watch closer
Try to learn this from the projects professor
I leave a legendary catalogue behind
So I will live forever guess I'm fucked
Only thing I love is drugs and magnums
And mama told never to take
What I love for granted
I remember in the days when things were new
I just wanted to be legendary, ooh
Everything that's so cold
Is announced through that's what you do
To be legendary, ooh yeah
Yeah i was walking with my Walkman on
Listenin' to Etta James
Nothing change if nothing change unless
You have a better range
Broken glass everywhere from the broken homes
Every Philly street is like a
Boulevard of broken bones
The only white bulb and still
They provide love for me
I come from a place where
The devil reside comfortably
A lot of these motherfuckers out
There is sons to me
Denying I'm the father of their style
And taking blood from me
Maybe I'm a narcissist, maybe I'm an arsonist
I just wish that there was
More David Foster Wallaces
I would read dictionaries
And study thesauruses
Look for the proper definition of
What an artist is
Literary chauvinist literal to every logicist
I only followed rappers I
Thought was bringing apocalypse
I never ever referred to myself as legendary
My son good
So everything else is just secondary
I remember in the days when things were new
I just wanted to be legendary, ooh
Everything that's so cold
Is announced through that's what you do
To be legendary, ooh yeah
Boppin' with no vodka spillin'
Escape in a maze, in a haze
It was an awesome feelin'
Spending fences, Starbucks, dreaming
Talking millions
Cut out patches taped to cross
Of walls and ceilings
The trolley car rumbled by my window
I'm rocking Marley Marl to calm me down
