Legacy

Lyrics

[Chorus: Mike Posner & Talib Kweli] (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) [Verse 1: Talib Kweli] 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 itself 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 [Chorus: Mike Posner & Talib Kweli] (Legacy) What? I can see the future (Legacy) I know who I am (Legacy) I think I can feel my (Legacy) Lega-lega-legacy [Verse 2: Mike Posner] 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 [Chorus: Mike Posner] (Legacy) I can see the future (Legacy) I know who I am (Legacy) I think I can feel my (Legacy) Lega-lega-legacy
