[Intro: Master P]
Yo, C
I'd like to mourn the dead (Kevin Miller)
And acknowledge the livin'
Know like they say
You can tell a n***a
How you feel when they here
This is for all those livin stars out there
The ghetto legends (real n***as)
n***as thats really doin the hustlin on the corner
(love these thug n***as, ya heard me)
Know what I'm sayin, makin it happen
n***as in the rap game, changin their lives
Silkk, C-Murder, Master P (haha)
And all the other real mutherfukin ballers out there (freedom)
Motherfukin rookies to the veterans
This is all the real n***as makin it happen
b**h check it, ya heard me
[C-Murder]
n***a back in the day i used to dream about fortune and fame
Jump in the game and you expect my life to change
I looked up to all the ghetto superstars
sh**, I used to trip when they call a female a b**h
I'm just another lost soul in the world
Destination unknown, Tryin to make it home
And Three strikes, a n***a gone
All alone in the muthafukin end zone
On the football field with my head down
I can't see but I'm tryin to make a touchdown
Damn, will I ever see the other side
I'm this close from doin another drive by
Now I don't really want to make another mother cry
But these n***as, they playin with my fukin pride
Now why, they wanna put me in this gangsta sh**a
Cause all I wanna do is sell a million discs
[Chorus:]
Wha wha, I wanna be a livin' legend
Will they let me, I wanna be a livin' legend
Will they sweat me, get paid like the president
Now put my name in the hall of fame
(x2)
[Master P:]
Say my name
What b**hes screamin for
A little skinny n***a learn to hustle and ball
Grew up in the projects
Ran with k**ers and dealers
No Limit Soldiers keep in the family, no n***a
Don't hate me for planting seeds
C-Murder got the gifts
I got the hennesey and weed
We only run with ghetto stars ???
Like Big Boz, Hot Boyz known for 1-87
2-11, Real n***as made it out the hood
Word seven bigger figures
And you know its all good
[Chorus:]
Wha wha, I wanna be a livin' legend
Will they let me, I wanna be a livin' legend
Will they sweat me, get paid like the president
Now put my name in the hall of fame
(x2)
[Outro: C-Murder]
Livin' legend, livin' legend
One who'll raise on top against all obstacles
No matter friend or foe
And we kick it, Ugh
