[INTRO]
[Verse 1: Rome Clientel]
Yo they told me I would never make it anywhere
Depressed so the Hennys there for stress 'til I hit up Dharmic X and now I'm on the set
I'm from Elmira where the birds never leave the nest
I'm trying to win and never seem desperate
But clocks ticking and I'm thirty something
Exit or do it now I found it hard to begin When I'm sailing and there's hardly wind
A tale of two faces like Harvey Dent
I can maintain but feeling like its me against Bain
For the championship I pull my laces up my hands on my sh**
My face is up I'm prepared for the rain and Lady Luck
I got babies cuz(cousin) I'm trying to leave my legacy back
So Lena says "yo dad remember you rapped"
Yeah I remembered that the videos and Polo hat
Tilted to the back while Sky and Alycat was "Holdin it down"
I'm looking back but ain't going backwards
Not trying to be remembered as one of those rappers
(I ain't trying to be remembered as one of those rappers)
[Hook]
This right here is for my legacy
How my kids remember me
Stop at nothing
And make it when you live the dream
Go as hard as u can now just wait and see
One day u gonna leave your own legacy
Hip hop I ain't in it for the cheddar cheese I'm in it 'cuz(because) I need the memories for my legacy
Whatever happens gonna happen let it be
[Verse 2: Rome Clientel]
Who is this dude Rome anyway?
I'm more than just the dude who rapped with Just Blaze back in the day
More than just Elmira's own more than Jerome
More than daddy when I'm home the DeLorean Marty Mcfly
I'm more than a throwback
More than a husband more than just pro black
The sky's been the limit since Biggie died
The blown path was swallowed by my own rath been tryna make a name in this world
Since I remember since I came in this world been fighting
Not trying to hear 'bout would of might been
I'm writing from the heart a lot of dudes ain't even writing from the right pen
The funny sh** they might win
A lot of names that's trying be famous trying to get they names up on the A list
While I stay and work the grave shift
Tryna catch a lift on the crane when it's the rain that keeps me wrapped in the same sh**
A fabric with the same stitch my habitat remain rich
[Hook]
This right here is for my legacy
How my kids remember me
Stop at nothing
And make it when you live the dream
Go as hard as u can now just wait and see
And one day u gon leave ya own legacy
Hip hop I ain't in it for the cheaper cheese I'm in it cuz I need the memories for my legacy
Whatever happens gonna happen gonna let it be
