Jordan - Legend Opening lyrics

[Verse 1: Hope W.] My halo fell some inches and now the sh**s a noose Conversing with demons to try to help me loose Once upon a time I used to say that I used to Far from my past now I'm right into my future Keep it real, I got more "Goodies" than future The cold hearted type. Still k** if I knew you From the worst part of the worst part, excuse us We are, all the 1980s gangster's juniors Poppa almost got me k** when I was just two months n***a Tried to k** me and my momma Tied my momma up, put her in a tub of running water Placed me on the stove, cut the gas on; my dad on The ground. Hole in his jeri curl in the street He ran to the front gate, he was dazed in retreat Tried to buzz up to my mom but the tub was too deep Some how, untied herself and then came lookin for me Then She found me calm, sitting right in my seat Poppa stumbled to the store. Second shot in his knee He caught a body in the darkness of the Westside streets I was born into the drama. Life brought it to me So when you talking 16s, tell me what I should think That's just one of my stories, n***a. Please don't bore me I been through enough rappers, have something for me Thats the logic that I got when I say I'm the King f** the Source, XXL, complex, King I got real issues on the shelf. Dog, Who better than me That's why I'm favorite rapper, no one does it for me sh**, I love how I think. Both fly and unique Boy, I don't give a f** of you a talented rapper Tell what that mean if you're a talent rapper ? When I'm the type of cat to reach back and just smack ya Your verses and your hooks won't do you good when I'm at ya So f** it, I'm at ya. I'm permanent active I'm permanent God like, and the feeling is ma**ive, Boy!
