Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yeah

[Verse 2]

I'm tryna go down, down as a great

Every night I get on my knees and pray

That I will go down, yeah

That I will go down, yeah

[Verse 3]

Legendary moves, leader of my crew

Heavy is the head that wear the crown, that shit true

Do it like Nip Hussle, that's to fill some big shoes

And what good is excuses when the fuckin' rent's due?

[Verse 4]

Smokin' on this Indo, run away from my pain

Rosemary on my temples, heard that's good for migraines

Solo in my Benzo, exit off the highway

Solitary thoughts, like how to reinvest my side change

[Verse 5]

Yeah, I'm tryna go down, down as a great

Every night I get on my knees and pray

That I will go down, yeah

That I will go down, yeah

[Verse 6]

I'm tryna go down, down as a legend

Every night I ask God for the blessin'

That I will go down, yeah

That I will go down, yeah

[Verse 7]

Now, so many **** doin' time, who are you and I?

To play with it, it's a blessin', so reach for the sky

Pick up Shady off the block and we'll smoke and drive

Politicking on the block to make it multiply

Keep some bitches on the team from the other side

Keep at least a pound of green, motherfucking right

[Verse 8]

Thirty hours in the spot, goin' overtime

Then we pull up to the Fox and go hold it down

You know this life, it got a cold design

How you go from eatin' lobster tails at Ocean Prime

To chain to a smoker and throat on the line

But when them gates close, keep a open mind

[Verse 9]

It ain't no force in this world like the focused drive

You gotta focus on yourself like a only child

You make yo dream realer, and you make yo team better

You wake yo game up, and you make yo scheme better

[Verse 10]

They say, this time, this time

Won't be like the last time

But this time, this time

I'ma do it like my last time

[Verse 11]

I'ma go hard, my ****

Put my name in the stars, my ****

But I gotta pray to God, my ****

That I will go down

[Verse 12]

Until we legendary, yeah

Till we legendary

We legendary, yeah

Who don't wanna be legendary? Yeah

[Verse 13]

Wanna be, legendary

Legendary, yeah

I wanna be legendary

I'm just tryna go down, I'm just tryna go down, I'm just tryna go down

[Verse 14]

I'm just tryna go down

I'm just tryna go down

I'm just tryna go down

And be a legend in my town

[Verse 15]

I'm just tryna go down

I'm just tryna go down

I'm just tryna go down

And be a legend in my town
