Legacy


Daddy, what's a will?

Take those moneys and spread 'cross families
My sisters Hadi and Lou, the nephews, cousins and TiTi
Eric, the rest can be for whatever she wants to do
She might start an institute
She might put po' kids through school
My stake in RocNation should go to you
Leave a peace for your siblings to give to their children too
Tidal the champagne D'usse I'd like to see
A nice peace-fund ideas from people who look like we
We gon' start a society within a society
That's major, just like the Negro League
There was a time America wouldn't let us ball
Those times are now back, just now called Afro-tech
Generational wealth, that's the key
My parents ain't have shit, so that ship started with me
My mom took her money, she bought me bonds
That was the sweetest thing of all time, uh

Legacy, Legacy, Legacy, Legacy
Black excellence baby, you gon' let 'em see
Legacy, Legacy, Legacy, Legacy
Black excellency, baby, let 'em see

I've been listening to Wu-Tang and niggas like
"Your seed, married his seed, married my seed"
That's how we keep Carter money all in the family
You see, my father, son of a preacher man
Who's daughter couldn't escape the reach of the preacher's hand
That charge of energy set all the Carters back
It took all these years to get to zero in fact
I hated religion 'cause here was this Christian
He was preaching Sundays, versus how he was living Monday
Someday I forgive him 'cause strangely our division led to multiple religions I studied
Muslim, Buddhist, and Christians, and
I was running from him, He was giving me wisdom
See how the universe works?
It takes my hurt and help me find more of myself
It's a gift and a curse
That's called the red queens race

You run this hard just to stay in place
Keep up the pace, baby
Keep up the pace
You run this hard just to stay in place

Legacy, Legacy, Legacy, Legacy
Black excellence, you gon' let 'em see
Legacy, Legacy, Legacy, Legacy
Black excellency, baby, let 'em see

Day, someday, someday, we'll all
Someday, we'll all be free

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
