Legacy

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jay Park] Yea (GRAY) I've always been a dream chaser Shouts to Meek Mill Since the day I was born, I haven't been able to sit still Never weak-willed Always been real I risk lookin' soft to avoid situations Where my homies could get killed Small-minded petty shit Somethin' we don't entertain' We do somethin' lame Live and learn Do it never again Then we teach game to one another Because y'all my brothers, my actions reflect y'all So I never move like a sucker I'm slipping, I'm falling, I can't get up I know you'll catch me, support me and help me get up Yeah this bullshit's whatever, I'll show nothin' but love Bitches, money, fame, it's cool but it means nothin' above So let's enjoy it while it lasts With the smiles and the laughter Comes sadness, all black, up in front there's a pastor To the hoes and the bastards, the trolls and backstabbers Never too late to change till you up in your casket Let's get it [Chorus: Shelby The Singer & Jay Park] Look up at the sky Looked down at the earth I need you, I need you right here Are you down for the ride? Right next to me For this legacy I need you, I need you right here For this thing called life [Verse 2: Jay Park] Look, growth to me that's all that matters Life's a game of Shoots and Ladders Ups and downs okay but I ain't movin' backwards I don't feed into propaganda Trying to anger me so I can do some crazy shit I don't believe it, atheist They want you riled up until you say, "Fuck the peace" NFL black listing Kaepernick 'Cause he took a knee, what type of fuck shit is that? And who do we trust? Man, I ain't even black I just think it's unjust Can't stand up for your beliefs, nah, not in their house Drastic measures, your family, they'll take food out of their mouth In this society, it's so easy to lose hope Just know we got each other Hold your hand through the smoke Let's go This that shit that they don't wanna see It starts with you and me Let's go What you leave behind, use your energy Yes not just mine or yours man, this our legacy, wassup [Chorus: Shelby The Singer & Jay Park] Look up at the sky (Sky) Looked down at the earth (Earth) I need you, I need you right here (Oh, I need you right here) Are you down for the ride (Baby) Right next to me (Me) For this legacy (Oh) I need you, I need you right here For this thing called life (Ohh ah) [Bridge: Shelby The Singer] Who can I lean on when the world is on my shoulders Baby, I need someone I can build with and grow older Yea [Verse 3: Gifted Gab] Coz life is much cold and people can't uphold us Since Trump's been in office, it seems that we lost it Take a look around Now you seein' what it's cost us People in positions of power really imposters Using propaganda for profit Then politicians put that paper in their back pocket What's the difference between government and black market They hate blacks but love the black market Shooting blacks like we damn targets That's not progress The US been a mess We just got conscious Look, I'ma preach 'cause it's never too late We gotta teach fear is a direct descendant of hate I'm a Moor, so I'm a direct descendant of greats So when I perform, you listen and I hope you relate Hey, I got a solid intuition, a lot of ambition I'm looking at the world through a clear-cut vision [Outro: Gifted Gab] We gotta do better Let's change the way we eat Let's change the way we live And let's change the way we treat each other I talk to Pop like he a friend to me I gotta do this for my legacy
