[Verse 1]
30,000 feet in the air, I wonder if the cities know I see ‘em from here
Or maybe they're asleep and ain't even aware
One day I wanna wake em with a beat and a snare
‘Cause I spoke with a living legend, I told him I bring confessions
I told him my indiscretions, I told him I roam on my lonely
It's only me and my independence, I wear my heart on my sleeve
And put my soul in a pendent, I want them to know of my message
He said as long as you have a dream you're envisioning
Then you will find the pa**ion that will lead to your discipline
You will find the strength when it was feasible giving in
And the pieces to the puzzle seemed to seamlessly fit again
I wasn't spending each cold AM day dreaming in lesson
To get to twenty years old saying I don't believe in the message
I had to breathe for a second, my memory was forgetting
I came in this world a peasant planning to leave as legend
[Chorus]
You can ignite all your feelings, you can fight for your life
You can leave it all behind but you know it ain't right
You can scream it to the heavens, use it as your weapon
You can ignite all your feelings, you can fight for your life
You can leave it all behind but you know it ain't right
You can scream it to the heavens, you could be a living legend
[Verse 2]
As long as you have a voice, you have words to express
Those same words could save a person from d**h
Thats the power of words, they can earn you respect
So don't misjudge the power of the words you possess
But i won't be Gnaes Marcius, I talk when i need it be
Because the less I say in person the more that my music speaks for me
And when I lay these verses I feel the truth is my decency
So until they pull the curtains I'm using this as a piece of me
And I remember when they told me I would never get to college
They would use my pa**ion in attempt to scare me off it
But I never saw my dream as something I wouldn't get accomplished
This ain't an empty promise
Every night I stay up yawning, ‘till the break of dawn and
I can't k** time because time made my day pa**
And then I'd have to wake up morning
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I gotta let things live for how they'll probably be
But no, I can't continue lost in defeat
Even though my grandfather never saw the man I wanted be
Even though I planned to end it because I wanted to leave
They can't bury me yet, still got enough to terrorise your CD or your stereo deck
So tell mainstream media to ignore another white terrorist threat
I'm building a legacy they can never forget
Even though I suffer inside, I took the bullsh** but I let enough of it slide
They can't break me, when I feel nothing inside
But that nothing gave me something and that something is pride, uh
And the doubts in my mind are present
This verse came so free, a week a go I couldn't write a sentence
I guess those guardians remind me my minds a weapon
They give me the strength to believe, that I can die a legend
[Chorus]
