Go Legend
Big Sean & Metro Boomin Lyrics

If young Metro don't trust you, I'm gon' shoot you
I will take drastic measures if my close friend and producer doesn't want to work with you

Do you know where you're going to?
Are you aware of your future direction in life?

Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Are you content with the experiences and opportunities you're encountering?

Where are you going to? (straight)
What is your current path and how are you planning to maintain a steady momentum?

Do you know?
Are you knowledgeable and confident about what you want in life?

With my best friend
Together with my closest ally

7-11 (yeah)
Visiting a convenience store chain location as part of our daily routine

We go legend, we go legend (yeah, yeah)
We become iconic and renowned through our actions and accomplishments

We go legend, we go legend (alright)
Our reputation and achievements cause us to become legendary within our industry

We go legend, we go legend, yeah
Our continued success and acclaim leads to a perpetual state of legendary status

We go legend (go), we go legend (go), yeah (yeah)
Our impact and influence is consistent and sustained

We go legend (go), we go legend (go legend)
Our excellence and exceptionalism is maintained and sustained

We go legend, we go legend, yeah (straight)
Our reputation and accomplishments are a reflection of our consistent hard work and dedication

With my best friend (alright)
Accompanied by my closest confidant

7-11 (whoa)
A familiar setting to us both

We go legend (yeah)
We maintain our status as legendary figures

Codeine legend (yeah, yeah)
A reference to the abuse of a narcotic drug and the negative impact it can have on one's life

Microphone legend
The art of music and lyrical mastery is our forte

In my house
Within my personal space

Yeah, alarms
Security measures are in place to protect me and my possessions

Ringin' through my house (through my house)
My safety is of utmost importance and these alarms serve as an effective deterrent against intruders

Got 'em goin'
These security measures are effective at causing distress and panic amongst potential criminals

Climbing in 'n' out (in 'n' out)
Despite these security measures, determined intruders will still try to penetrate the defenses

But you know it, never run your mouth (never run your mouth)
Remaining tight-lipped and keeping our secrets safe is a top priority

Bitch this not a drill, this the real thing (whoa)
This is serious and there's no room for error

I do what the fuck I feel, fuck your feelings, yeah
I prioritize my own desires over the opinions and emotions of others

Made my blueprints, so my life got no ceilings (I don't see 'em)
I have set clear goals and objectives for myself, removing any obstacles or limitations in the process

I create the energy that they keep stealing, yeah
My positive and influential demeanor is copied and emulated by those around me

Detroit legend (whoa)
Recognized as one of the great performers from my hometown

Microphone legend, yeah
My skill and prowess with creating music is highly respected and admired

Sean a Legend
My legacy is one of greatness and excellence

My bro is John Legend, yeah (whoa, whoa)
My close personal friend and musical collaborator is the esteemed artist and performer John Legend

All this sunshine, it's still raining blessings (whoa)
Despite all the successes and accomplishments, there continues to be an outpouring of positive opportunities and experiences

Skrrt out that Maybach, I'm just fresher than my reverend, yeah (skrrt skrrt skrrt)
Leaving a luxurious vehicle, looking even better than a religious leader

Oh my God, oh my God, you cockblocked
An exclamation of frustration or disbelief over someone ruining our chances of success

Bitch I sock you out yo' socks (bitch)
I will physically assault or defeat someone who attempts to hold me back or challenge me

Me and all my inner circle, we keep thinkin' out the box
My close associates and I prioritize innovation and creativity in our pursuits

Dawg, when life go too hard on you, you gon' go legend or not?
When faced with adversity, will one rise to the occasion and achieve greatness?

Me, I got no other opp (got no other option)
I have no choice but to succeed and be great

Shit, I go so hard I might wake up with a concussion (I go hard)
I put in maximum effort and dedication, to the point of physical exhaustion or injury

The way I piece this shit together, man, it's puzzlin' (I go hard)
My approach to music and life is complex, intricate and often difficult to decipher

I do this for the dogs and nowadays we husky
I pursue my passions and goals for myself and my close group of associates who are all strong, capable and empowered

God is my witness, you lil' bitches, you can't judge me
I am accountable only to my own faith and convictions, and am not subject to the opinions or criticisms of others

7-11 (no no)
A change in tone, recognizing that this location is not as favorable or enjoyable as previously indicated

7-11, yeah
Back to the familiar convenience store location, with a slightly more positive attitude

We go legend (straight), we go legend, yeah
Reasserting our status as accomplished and legendary performers

7-11
An echoing statement, solidifying the connection to this convenice store chain

Microphone legend (whoa)
Acknowledging the importance and significance of personal skills and talents as a musician

I go legend, I mean, Michael Jackson (hol' up)
Comparing personal success and popularity to the late, great performer Michael Jackson

Prince in action, okay, I'm an original, you just a reenactment
Drawing a distinction between originality and true artistry, versus imitation or copycat behavior

Okay, peace sign and flashes
A gesture of peace and positivity, accompanied by the noise of flashing cameras during press events

I live that picture perfect life you lie 'bout in your captions
Contrasting the facade of perfection and glamour created through social media posts, versus the reality of personal struggles and challenges

(Mmm-mmm-mmm)
A non-verbal, humming interlude

When I was down, I swear they made me feel inferior (straight up)
Acknowledging the negative impact and psychological toll of negative criticism and doubting one's self

Judgin' me by my outside, that's just my exterior (straight up)
Rejecting the notion of being judged by one's external appearance, rather than the inner qualities and talents that truly define a person

Not seeing what I was made of, that's my interior (real shit)
Recognizing the true value and worth in oneself, regardless of external validation or criticism

Didn't let that shit break me, instead, I broke the barriers
Overcoming negativity and setbacks, and using them as fuel to achieve even greater success and accomplishments

So fuck all y'all, praise Allah
Rejecting the negative energy and hate perpetuated by others, while maintaining a sense of faith and spirituality

It's my perog' like Bobby bruh
Asserting personal authority and control over one's life and pursuits, likening it to the autonomy of Bobby Brown

Massages by Nautia
Enjoying luxurious and relaxing spa treatments

In my castle like Mario
Feeling powerful and regal within one's personal space, similar to the character of Mario in the popular video game franchise

I get in shit, my heart and soul
Involvement with cryptic or questionable situations, putting all personal effort and passion into every venture

You boys got no cardio
Challenging the physical fitness and endurance of competitors or challengers

All of my soldiers rock army clothes
A reference to unity and solidarity with a close group of comrades

'Head of my time like Marty though
A comparison to the time-traveling hero Marty McFly, suggesting an innovative and forward-thinking approach

Watchin the Rick and Morty show, while I smoke
Enjoying the well-written and influential television show while indulging in smoking marijuana

All these bands, still fuck her on the floor
Despite having accumulated wealth and success, still embracing and indulging in leisurely pleasures

Came from the dirt, all I had to do was grow
Overcoming a challenging background or upbringing and flourishing into success

Remember when my shit got repossessed (damn)
Reflecting on a difficult time involving financial troubles and losing personal property

That shit had us workin' like we possessed (goddamn)
Having to work extremely hard or feel a sense of desperation in order to regain what was lost

With my best friend (boy)
Together with a close ally and confidant

7-11 (boy)
Returning to the familiar location and daily routine

With my best friend (whoa)
Unified and strengthened by the bond with a close friend

We go legend, we go legend, yeah (straight up)
Embracing the iconic and legendary status, and continuing to achieve even greater success
