Legacy
(The Triple Album Special Edition (V.I.P. Lounge)) Mauro Picotto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I wish I had enemies
Ying to my yang, something to balance my energy
That way at least I could understand what they wishing me
Fish for opinions, it feel like sometimes I'm ripping teeth
I'm caught in the ether, 20k on the meter
Tryna catch up with life, it's been a while since I seen her
Ain't seen family neither, if relationship teters
Got none to blame but myself, presence is low, been on my flow like a heater
With the Cloud like I'm Tifa, ducking strife with a visa
Know we look like some stooges but me, my boys finna eat up
And I swear, they used to rather smash the bros like Nintendo
Now they watching like they always knew that I'd be him though
Blunt force like kendo, think sometimes my mind be on the fence though
Just wait for me to get to the point
By the time I'm finished man, there ain't no getting the boy
Told y'all once I'm with the cloud, so let me get to this joint
Run the map, way that I been on the road, feel like I'm running laps
Told 'em one day imma hit 'em with the thunderclap (oh lord)
When it's over ain't no coming back, no more
Yeah I said, I said I run the map
Way that I been on the road, feel like I'm running laps
Told 'em one day imma hit 'em with the thunderclap (oh lord)
When it's over ain't no coming back, no more
No more, no more
No more
No more, no more, more, more
Lights up, life down
Wrong words, right sounds
Slow down 'fore you get what's coming to you
And you can beat the beat up if you feelin' down
Sometimes I wish my enemies would have enemies
Then maybe we could link up while erasing their legacies
For real, that's the difference between me and Jace
He just wants someone to hate, I just need y'all off my plate
I just need somewhere to go, some place where I can just be
Somewhere where everything's easy, but that'll never be me
If you want someone to live it, someone to someday receive
All of these blessings and miracles that could make us believe
Then follow me
I don't know who you are, I don't-I don't know what you need
I don't-I don't know what I could give you if I'm living six deep
If you-if you tryna find me it hurts, but it's all behind me
The water is rising fast, and the past is all around me
It's been hard enough to breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe
Tell me, who are you to let go what you need, need, need
That shit haunts me like mercy, the jury that's gon' hurt me
The love that's gon' murk me is everything we give voice
And meanwhile, the finish line looks a lot like my choice
And with the homies right beside me, been perfecting the noise
So when I hear that chatter, imma have Jace pass me the joint
And where the fuck I put it out is gon' depend on who's testing ya boy
Run the map, way that I been on the road, feel like I'm running laps
Told 'em one day imma hit 'em with the thunderclap (oh lord)
When it's over ain't no coming back, no more
Yeah I said, I said I run the map
Way that I been on the road, feel like I'm running laps




Told 'em one day imma hit 'em with the thunderclap (oh lord)
When it's over ain't no coming back, no more
