Legacy

Devin Davidson

Feel like I died twice to learn my lesson, slim
It ain't how you live, but what's your legacy
Got a uncle locked up off a felony
I never met him but I'm praying for his clemency
Found out he was wilding on a killing spree
Unforgivable shit but that's his legacy
He woulda caught another 3 if they'd set him free
When my father got killed for trynna sell another key
He was respected in the pocket and in the streets
Go-Go drummer slained, that was his legacy
Had an older brother that wasn't scary G
He was the only nigga ever to inspire me
Gone in '99 but came in '83
They called his name, I feel his pain from his legacy
I pray to God he don't rush em when they bury me
But the pressure getting heavy, I just pray he carry me
Life ain't what you do but who you do it for
Think outside yourself and life will give you more
It ain't about what you got, my nigga, but what you brung
Yeah, you talk a lot of shit but nigga what you've done
I ain't a diamond yet, but the pressure on me
Make me tough but yet, I'm colder than a Russian Army
Been a man of my family, they just need to call me
I ain't my father but enough for Kelli, Nay and Lauren
Seen a pic of my father's body, the shit was haunting
An expression on his face that was filled with sorrow
I had no one to guide me but I'm the one they follow
The man I am is one I can say I'm honestly proud of
I had to earn my respect cause it was what I sought
A quiet nigga, used to say I wasn't loud enough
Who ever knew that life in Clinton I would have it rough
With all I witnessed I found my comfort inside a blunt
That's why OGs understand where I'm coming from
They know my story and what I had to face coming up
I learn more about my father when they brung him up
I tried to wear his shoes but I chose to hung em up
Life ain't what you do but who you do it for
Think outside yourself and life will give you more
It ain't about what you got, my nigga, but what you brung
Yeah, you talk a lot of shit but nigga what you've done
I know the one I wanna marry when my game is over
I hope she come around to keep the family name going
My decade planned out and I'm ahead of niggas
Success is earned when the hustle is imbedded in you
I never told the next man I was better than you
I let my ceiling be a floor just to elevate you
I gave more money than I saved nigga
Moments I was hungry is when I fed niggas
My homie secrets get taken to the grave nigga
Acted out and even so, I still forgave niggas
Ran through life and all the obstacles that came with it
Another day, another dollar I just change with it
All my niggas is trappers, doctors and fathers
And I put this on my father, you can ask who working harder
I'm focused on my life and what I'm meant to be
A nigga that inspired you to leave a legacy
Life ain't what you do but who you do it for
Think outside yourself and life will give you more
It ain't about what you got, my nigga, but what you brung
Yeah, you talk a lot of shit but nigga what you've done
