  • Yeah
    Uh
    Yeah
    Uh

    This is legendary
    Always been my mission, never secondary
    Getting better every January, it's very scary
    They gon' recognize eventually
    I take it if they don't give it to me
    Swear all of it was written for me (yep, yep)
    By a higher card just spiritually (up, up)
    Up in the wages, up on a plane, get out my way right now
    I want you believe not only in me, but have some faith in yourself
    I wish you peace and good health, happiness and some wealth
    I threw a coin in the well, 'cause I was feeling so well
    A token of how I felt, never heard it fulfilled
    Not a noise, not a sound, still no reason to doubt
    Quality what I sell, quantity in the cells
    Quantum physics myself, count a million atoms of cells
    This life I'm living it out, you're right, my vision is now
    Don't let the prisoner cell build a strut to break out
    My brothers at the brick house, the undercover stakeout
    Can't you see it's a trap? The type of shit I think 'bout
    I sensed they needed my help, that's why I had to reach out
    What you think? I do it for my brothers under a spell
    It's clear we living in hell, the life of a black male
    Right out the womb you come out, and it's a bunch of blackmail
    Just waiting for you to fail, a special room in the jail
    With your name, a number on it so you property now
    I see it properly now, it's what the poverty 'bout
    It's all a game of Monopoly, tryna cop me a house
    An elephant in the room until I fit in my tomb
    And introduced to my doom, they say the end comin' soon

    Legends, they never die
    The niggas only multiply
    So put your fire up in the sky
    'Cause they won't ever kill the light
    They say the legends, they never die
    The niggas only multiply
    So put your fire up in the sky
    'Cause they won't ever kill the light

    Tables keep turning, which way do I go?
    A fire's burning inside of my soul
    Tables keep turning, which way do I go?
    A fire's burning inside my control

    Ready for whatever comes
    I hope for the best, I taste the piece and pray it never leave my tongue
    But yet, before long, the feelings done
    Perhaps I was foolish just like the boy that prays to only see the sun
    Maybe, life happens like tides
    One minute you're low and feeling shallow then all of a sudden you rise
    Just, ride the wave, I say to myself
    Find a way, the weight of my wealth
    It's honestly a lot to bear
    I play the game of stacking knowing that I ought to share
    How much does a man need? How much can he hoard before his greed?
    How can a rich father teach humbleness to his seed?
    Just questions, the stubborn all get taught tough lessons
    I look at all I got like "What's missing?"
    God is my only guess, 'cause yes, faith relieve the stress
    I find peace again when I find Him and see I'm blessed
    Real blessed, life has always got me wondering
    (Wondering, wondering) Am I doing it right?
    Am I hurting myself?
    Am I wronging the ones that love me the most?
    What a burden to have
    That ain't no way to live
    Or maybe it is
    Well, maybe it is

    Tables keep turning, which way do I go?
    A fire's burning inside of my soul
    Tables keep turning, which way do I go?
    A fire's burning inside my control

    Legends, they never die
    The niggas only multiply
    So put your fire up in sky
    'Cause they won't ever kill the light
    They say the legends, they never die
    The niggas only multiply
    So put your fire up in sky
    'Cause they won't ever kill the light

    This is legendary, it's never secondary
    I'm getting better every January
    The idea of it alone is very scary
    I kill my enemies by any means necessary
    I said, this is legendary, it's never secondary
    Getting better every January
    The idea of it alone is very scary
    I kill my enemies by any means necessary Writer/s: ANDILE JENANA, CASWELL WEINBREN, JERMAINE COLE, JO-VAUGHN VIRGINIE, PATRICK BARIL
