[Intro: Joey Bada$$ & J. Cole] Yeah, uh Yeah Yeah, uh Yeah [Verse 1: Joey Bada$$] This is legendary Always been my mission, never secondary Gettin' better every January, it's very scary They gon' recognize eventually, I take it if they don't give it to me Swear all of it was written for me (yep, yep) By a higher conscious spiritually (up, up) Up and away, jump on a plane, get on my wave right now I want you believe not only in me, but have some faith in yourself I wish you peace and good health, happiness and some wealth I threw a coin in the well, 'cause I was feelin' so well A token of how I felt, never heard if it fell Not a noise, not a sound, still no reason to doubt Quality what I sell, quantity in the sales Quantum physics myself, count a million atoms of cells This life I'm livin' it out, damn right, my vision is now Don't let the prisoner cell build a strut to break out My brothers at the brick house, the undercovers stakeout Can't you see it's a trap? The type of sh** I think 'bout I sensed they needed my help, that's why I had to reach out What you think I do it for? My brothers under a spell It's clear we livin' in hell, the life of a black male Right out the womb, you come out, and it's a bunch of blackmail Just waitin' for you to fail, a special room in the jail With your name, a number on it so you property now I see it properly now, it's what the poverty 'bout It's all a game of Monopoly, tryna cop me a house An elephant in the room until I fit in my tomb And introduced to my doom, they say the end comin' soon [Chorus: Joey Bada$$] Legends, they never die The n***as only multiply So put your fire up in the sky 'Cause they won't ever k** the light They say the legends, they never die The n***as only multiply So put your fire up in the sky 'Cause they won't ever k** the light [Bridge: Joey Bada$$] Tables keep turning, which way do I go? A fire's burning inside of my soul Tables keep turning, which way do I go? A fire's burning inside my control [Verse 2: J. Cole] Look, ready for whatever comes I hope for the best, I taste the piece and pray it never leave my tongue But yet, before long, the feelings done Perhaps I was foolish, just like the boy that prays to only see the sun Maybe, life happens like tides One minute you're low and feelin' shallow, then all of a sudden you rise Just, ride the wave, I say to myself Find a way, the weight of my wealth It's honestly a lot to bear I play the game of stackin' knowin' that I ought to share How much does a man need? How much can he hoard before his greed? How can a rich father teach humbleness to his seed? Just questions, the stubborn all get taught tough lessons I look at all I got like, "What's missin'?" God is my only guess, 'cause yes, faith relieve the stress I find peace again when I find Him and see I'm blessed Real blessed, life has always got me wonderin' (Wondering, wondering) Am I doin' it right? Am I hurtin' myself? Am I wrongin' the ones that love me the most? What a burden to have That ain't no way to live Or maybe it is Well, maybe it is [Bridge: Joey Bada$$] Tables keep turning, which way do I go? A fire's burning inside of my soul Tables keep turning, which way do I go? A fire's burning inside my control [Chorus: Joey Bada$$] Legends, they never die The n***as only multiply So put your fire up in sky 'Cause they won't ever k** the light They say the legends, they never die The n***as only multiply So put your fire up in sky 'Cause they won't ever k** the light [Outro: Joey Bada$$] This is legendary, it's never secondary I'm getting better every January The idea of it alone is very scary I k** my enemies by any means necessary I said, this is legendary, it's never secondary Getting better every January The idea of it alone is very scary I k** my enemies by any means necessary
