Legendary

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Slaine] 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 pictures taped across the 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 shoebox and knew I had a honest heart Life was hard; she knew knocks; I hadn't hit the hardest part [Chorus: Jared Evan] 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 [Verse 2: ILL BILL] Yo, yo I was walking with my Walkman on Brooklyn similar to Lebanon Stray bullets, third world to Bed-Stuy East New York creeps with Hawks, reach for yours before the reaper draws Take ten paces, pull out, and let the sweeper roar Sweet like candy till an ambulance is handy One 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 [Chorus: Jared Evan] 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 [Verse 3: Vinnie Paz] 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, little 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 [Chorus: Jared Evan] 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
