Legacy
B-Jay Banks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you get out of line, I'ma press ya'
Making diamonds with the pressure
Hot as summer time with the leather
Jotting my thoughts down in a ledger
It's a whole lot of money in it
If you know me, then you know I'm coming with it
Niggas talking 'bout who run it, Really
But the way I run it, I could run for senate
I ain't really been impressed in a minute
Nah
Niggas don't inspire me
I came to work like I heard they was firing
Work in the floor, got to redo the tiling
Hop out the whip, Crack 'em a smile, Styling
Judge think I'm violent
I'm just a man, they see a robber
I see a nigga who had to survive
Me and Migs going platinum
All the shit that I can fathom
Say she with me to the casket
Bitch I could probably kick it to a madam
Got my name buzzin', 'bout to mash 'em
Got to hold the game up for ransom
Put that pain on her like a spasm, passed her
You aint even got to ask her
I was out with the gang, they know what it be like
Don't wanna talk to these niggas, I'm tree high
I know he pussy, that boy a lil' feline
I see a flaw in his design
Push the button on him, make him rewind
Niggas rap careers on decline
I ain't nervous nigga I'ma vet
And I'll block a bitch like the D-Line
Chasing the blue faces on the west coast
I heard they rolling the best dro'
Hit the pussy with the breast stroke
Shit that I be writing like a death note
Kill beats, smoking OG
Been doing this shit since like '03
In the whip with a couple of OZ's
You can pull up and get you a 4 Piece
Whole city already know B
So what the fuck can you show me?
Like, why would I listen to niggas opinion
It's already clear with the whole team
We already up on the whole scheme
Now we just lay down the play
I'm Malcolm X with the 'K
Communion with all the guys over Jays
Banks
You know they say you die twice
One time in the physical
And one time when the last person speaks your name
What's gone be your Legacy nigga?
How they gone talk about you?
Me?




They gone say I was a great man
Yeah
