Legacy

Tell me where to go, tell me what to do

I'll be right there for you

Tell me what to say no matter if it's true

I'll say it all for you

I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky is falling

Why am I so differently wired? Am I a martian?

What kind of twisted experiment am I involved in?

'Cause I don't belong in this world, that's why I'm scoffing at authority

Defiant often, flying off at the handle at my mom, no dad

So I am noncompliant at home, at school I'm just shy and awkward

And I don't need no goddam psychologist trying to diagnose

Why I have all these underlying problems

Thinking he can try and solve 'em

I'm outside chalking up drawings on the sidewalk and in the front drive

Talking to myself, either that or inside hiding off in the corner somewhere quiet

Trying not to be noticed 'cause I'm crying and sobbing

I had a bad day at school so I ain't talking

Some cock sucker shoved me into a fucking locker

'Cause he said that I eye-balled him

And if you fall, I'll catch you there

I'll be your savior from all the wars

That are fought inside your world

Please have faith in my words

'Cause this is my legacy, legacy, ey

This is my legacy, legacy, ey

There's no guarantee, it's not up to me

We can only see

This is my legacy, legacy, legacy, legacy

I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky is falling

Why am I so differently wired in my noggin?

'Cause sporadic as my thoughts come, it's mind-boggling

'Cause I obsess on everything in my mind

Small shit bothers me, but not my father, he said sayonara then split

But I don't give a shit

I'm fine long as there's batteries in my Walkman

Nothing's the matter with me, shit, look on the bright side

At least I ain't walking

I bike ride through the neighborhood of my apartment

Complex on a ten-speed which I've acquired parts

That I find in the garbage, a frame then put tires on it

Headphones on, look straight ahead if kids try and start shit

But if this is all there is for me life offers

Why bother even trying to put up a fight?

It's nonsense, but I think a lightbulb just lit up in my conscience

What about them rhymes I've been jotting?

They're kind of giving me confidence

Instead of trying to escape through my comics

Why don't I just blast a little something like Onyx?

To put me in the mood to wanna fight and write songs that

Say what I wanna say to that kid that said I eye-balled him

Grab hold of my balls like that's right, fight's on, bitch

Who would've knew from the moment I turned the mic on

That I could be iconic in my conquest

That's word to Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest

This is my legacy, legacy, ey

This is my legacy, legacy, ey

There's no guarantee, it's not up to me

We can only see

This is my legacy, legacy, legacy, legacy

I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky is falling

Now I think the fact that I'm differently wired's awesome

'Cause if I wasn't I wouldn't be able to work words like this

And connect lines like crosswords and use my enemy's words as strength

To try and draw from and get inspired off 'em

'Cause all my life I was told and taught I am not shit

By you wack fucking giant sacks of lying dog shit

Now you shut up, bitch, I am talking

Thought I was full of horse shit and now you fucking worship

The ground in which I am walking

Me against the world, so what? I'm Brian Dawkins

Versus the whole oh and sixteen Lions offense

So bring on the Giants, Falcons, and Miami Dolphins

It's the body bag game, bitch, I'm supplying coffins

'Cause you dicks butt kiss, bunch of Brian Baldingers

You gon' die a ball licker, I've been diabolical

With this dialogue since '99 Rawkus

You don't respect the legacy I leave behind, ya'll can suck a dick

The day you beat me, pigs'll fly out my ass in a flying saucer

Full of Italian sausage

The most high exalting and I ain't halting

Till I die of exhaustion, inhale my exhaust fumes

The best part about me is I am not you, I'm me

And I'm the fire marshall and this is my

This is my legacy, legacy, ey

This is my legacy, legacy, ey

There's no guarantee, it's not up to me

We can only see

This is my legacy, legacy, legacy, legacy
