Tylone, 2Pac - LEGACY lyrics
[Tylone, 2Pac - LEGACY lyrics]
And my raps that I’m rapping to my
Community shouldn’t be filled with rage
And we shouldn’t be angry we asked 10
Years ago we was asking with
The panthers we asking with
Them, you know the civil rights
Movements we was asking
You know now those people that were
Asking their all dead or
In jail so now what do
You think were gonna do?
Just tryna live out my dreams
And leave a legacy
They keep killing us in the street
They won’t let us breath
Just tryna live out my dream
And leave a legacy
They keep killing us in the streets
They want let us be
Why they keep killing us?
400 years guess he had to deal with us
We need to unify it can’t just be one of us
Pleading with god forgive everyone of us
They got Breanna and still no conviction
They breaking the rules my sprit conflicted
We can’t even jog in peace
Just look at amuad deceased
Another statistic
Keep taking our Kings and queens
They know that we gifted
This world that we live in
Need healing it’s going ballistic
It’s bigger than Floyd they
Stifled the system
No politician but I got a vision
Imagine a world without all the killing
Imagine a world no stealing and dealing
Imagine a world where brothers can live in
Imagine a world that’s full of black business
They burned down a building
To got your attention
Now that you here imma need you to listen
We tryna be peaceful we signed the petition
We sell all your products with lil commission
Now is the time we assume our position
I run with some Kings we full of ambition
We all went to school we paid our tuition
Im Bearing my arms I got ammunition
Cause men of my color we always suspicious
Far from a criminal imma musician
My granny work hard she still in the trenches
Forty plus years she gave that to the system
I stand on all 10 behind all my sisters
I got a lil pistols I want me a missile
I’m for the cause I’m not for the cap
Ain’t shaking no hands I been giving dap
We been oppressed just look at the gap
The world steady changing we gotta adapt
Back to the motherland check out the map
God my protection i don’t need these straps
I want me a business I want me a app
I hope to see change yes starting with rap
Shoutout to Kap big homie was kneeling
Can't do this alone we praying for healing
Just tryna live out my dreams
And leave a legacy
They keep killing us in the street
They won’t let us breath
Just tryna live out my dream
And leave a legacy
They keep killing us in the streets
They want let us be
Time after time they taking
My brothers and sisters
Cuffing them without a crime they
Got away with Trayvon
They took our brother Akai that made
Me go get a iron
We live in prophetic time it’s
Only a matter of time
I put my fist to the sky I
Know that we all on the rise
I put the three by my eyes
Them demon be up in disguise
Made in his image and likeness
That make me GOD
I pray for the mothers that cried
I pray for they love ones that died
Don’t know what you feeling inside
WHEN They GONE LET GO they PRIDE
America built off of lies a lot
Of my people they tired
A lot of my ancestors died a lot
Of em fought for they lives
I spoke to a few that survived
They say that we gotta keep striving
We gotta win with our mind
I see the signs of the times
I knew it would come overtime
How can we breath asking for peace
But they kill us up in the streets
Change gotta come from within
We took some shots to the chin
I don’t know where to begin
Look at the places we been
If this ever happen again
Lord I need you to step in
So many questions we fighting for justice
Show they true colors because our complexion
I don’t fear man cause GOD MY PROTECTION
A lot of distractions because the Election
Keep god in mind when you make your selection
Every step taken just lead the direction
God is my source my only connection
Stay with some soldiers can’t
Run in My section
Took away Floyd left a family destroyed
Keep it strategic when playing my card
I pray that the lord dismantle they weapons
Don’t let Imma prosperI got a AR
It sing like a opera
But I don’t do violence Im
Gone do this proper
Just tryna live out my dreams
And leave a legacy
They keep killing us in the street
They won’t let us breath
Just tryna live out my dream
And leave a legacy
They keep killing us in the streets
They want let us be
All of society is doing is leeching off
The ghetto they use the ghetto
For their pain, for their sorrow, for
Their culture, for their music
For their happiness
For their movies they talk about boys in the
Hood you know what I saying? I don’t
Wanna be 50 years old at a BET we
Shall overcome achievement awards
You know what
I’m saying? I’m not saying I’m going to rule
The world or I’m gonna change the
World but I guarantee That I will spark
The brain that will change the world
And that’s our job is to spark somebody else
Watching us We might not be the ones
But let’s not be selfish and because we
Not gonna change the world let’s not
Talk about how we should change it i don’t
Know how to change it but I
Guarantee if I keep talking about how dirty
It is somebody gone clean it up!
Community shouldn’t be filled with rage
And we shouldn’t be angry we asked 10
Years ago we was asking with
The panthers we asking with
Them, you know the civil rights
Movements we was asking
You know now those people that were
Asking their all dead or
In jail so now what do
You think were gonna do?
Just tryna live out my dreams
And leave a legacy
They keep killing us in the street
They won’t let us breath
Just tryna live out my dream
And leave a legacy
They keep killing us in the streets
