Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your relationship with Faith
How are things?
I mean, we ain't together no more
She just had a baby from me
We cool though, we tight
It's that Faith Evans right here
Venue after venue, I been through
Come up to the telly so I could bend you
Send you you to the store, condoms and more
Jealous females call you sluts and whores
Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the beat, you locked the flow
Could it be my hardcore metaphor
Make sweat pour on the bedroom floor?
Open up the Lex door
Jump on in, I'm kind of tired
I'm a roll blunts while you spin
You twist up while I whip the bourbon
You teach me while I'm standing, learning like
You got your license, right? Alright, no swerving
Hair blonde out, Madonna style, like a virgin
Niggas see the ring, baguettes to death
She looking for a man, honey he just left
And I knew
I knew from the very first moment
That you were a king fit just for a queen
And I can tell from day one you were for me
Who knew that this love would be the legacy
And I'm so happy to say that I know you
My whole life was changed instantly
And I was willing to play my position, yeah
When you made me your wife-to-be
You were right by my side
Through all the changes
We've been through everything
So far from strangers
You more like my best friend
My perfect angel
I rock through thick and thin
I loved you till the end
I knew from the very first moment
That you were a king fit just for a queen
And I can tell from day one you were for me
Who knew that this love be the legacy
Grand Marnier increase the don strength
Two four-fifths within my arm's length
With a calm breath I say we got the flow
Throw Little Cease the keys to the boat
Tongue all down her throat, you know the routine
Got my dick large like Bruce Springsteen
I invite those girls that smoke lye
Keep it real with you
You keep it real with I
We be tight like frog's ass
Have you screaming, "Biggie, Biggie, give me one more chance"
I knew from the very first moment
That you were a king fit just for a queen
And I can tell from day one you were for me
Who knew that this love would be the legacy
You were right by my side
Through all the changes
We've been through everything
So far from strangers
You more like my best friend
My perfect angel
I rock through thick and thin
I loved you till the end
Sometimes I get caught up imagining
The way things could have been
And there's no way that we can press rewind
We can't go back, we can't turn back the time
No, no
No, we can't turn back
We can't turn back the time
No, we can't turn back the time
But we gon' always be together
Because, you know, we got a little shelly together
The lyrics to "Legacy" by Faith Evans and Notorious B.I.G. depict the relationship between the two artists. They reflect on their love story and how they went from being strangers to best friends to lovers, to married, to separated by death. The song starts with Biggie being asked about his relationship with Faith, and he responds by saying that they had a child together but are no longer together. However, they remain cool and tight. This shows that their bond goes beyond just romantic love.
The verses describe how they used to perform together and how Biggie would write the lyrics, while Faith would deliver them flawlessly. He compares their sex life to rock and roll, saying that his metaphors made Faith sweat and that they were like a team. Faith's verse talks about how they were inseparable, and she knew from day one that he was the king meant for her. She recounts the good times they had together, through thick and thin.
The chorus repeats the idea that their love was a legacy, and even though they can't go back in time or change what happened, they will always be together. The song ends with Biggie saying that they have a little shelly together, referring to their daughter T'yanna.

Faith Evans is one of the reasons why I like and love women so much. Because she sings from the heart. That's a good thing! Holla'!
@calix477
The 90s vibes are hitting me so hard again. Dann I miss all of those songs. They told stories you could actually enjoy listening to. modern rappers and Pop singers need to learn from this.
