Upchurch - Legend lyrics

Let the BandPlay

John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janis
Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, heh
When I die, I just wanna be a legend
White roses on my headstone and my
Name in golden carets 'cause uh
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend

John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janis
Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, heh
When I die, I just wanna be a legend
White roses on my headstone and my
Name in golden carets 'cause uh
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend

I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
Gonna live past twenty-seven
With them gates out front of my house
So pearly white you'll think it's heaven
Still rockin' clothes lookin' ratchet like


I don't give a shit
'Cause once upon a time I's scrounging
For that slick eighty cents
And I cherished the times I counted
The nickels to feed my stomach
Then my family made me hungry
'cause I hated the strugglin'
I quit my job in construction
I took a huge leap of faith
And now they know the dude that's rappin'
With that gap in his face (Upchuch)

John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janis
Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, huh
When I die, I just wanna be a legend
White roses on my headstone and my
Name in golden carets 'cause uh
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend

And when I'm gone my fuckin'
Jams will still be jammin'
And all my fans will still be out here
Tearin' shit up raisin' hell and yellin'
Let my sound waves live a thousand years
I'll still jam as a skeleton 'cause
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend

And I ain't used to this life
But hell I'm willin' to take it
If I'm gonna be famous then
I guess I'm makin' statements
'Cause there was times my transportation was
These boots on the pavement
And now I'm ridin' in dually's
Dipped in that pearlescent paint
For years before my Billboard charts
My mama kept me believin'
I told her I'd fight for success until
My damn heart stopped the beatin'
From now to then it's opposite on
How these populars treat me
Still Johnny Cash with middle fingers
Sayin' fuck a celebrity

John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janis
Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, huh
When I die, I just wanna be a legend
White roses on my headstone and my
Name in golden carets 'cause uh
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend

And when I'm gone my fuckin'
Jams will still be jammin'
And all my fans will still be out here
Tearin' shit up raisin' hell and yellin'
Let my sound waves live a thousand years
I'll still jam as a skeleton 'cause
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend

Small town, shine sippin'
Tailgate dumpin' when the beat drop
Churchman level high
All my haters need binoculars
Because I was a nobody now I'm
The beast of the pines
I got evicted from duplexes
Now I got shooters on dial
I'm just two barefeet walkin'
Tiptoein' through all of these snakes
But stayin' humble to my people I'm
The king of the sticks
And I'll live up under a bridge
Before I go sell my soul
You know I'm goin' for gold
The best story that's ever told

John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janis
Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, huh
When I die, I just wanna be a legend
White roses on my headstone and my
Name in golden carets 'cause uh
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend

And when I'm gone my fuckin'
Jams will still be jammin'
And all my fans will still be out here
Tearin' shit up raisin' hell and yellin'
Let my sound waves live a thousand years
I'll still jam as a skeleton 'cause
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend

When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
