Everything da… Read Full Bio ↴Elegacy is a power/progressive metal band from Italy.
Everything dates back to 1999, when second-year university students and former school-mates Massimo La Russa (guitar) and Constantin Terzago (keyboards), both from Turin, start up a project called Legacy. Talented drummer Naike Musso joins the band straight away, and vocalist Omar Vestri soon completes the line-up. Full of enthusiasm, ideas and inexperience, at the start of 2000 they record their first 5-track demo album, called Sometimes in Eternity. The demo is sent to the most important Italian magazines and gets remarkable reviews, being awarded Best Demo of the Month by the prestigious heading Metal Hammer in May 2000. Suitably encouraged, Legacy continue to write new material and decides that the time is right to start looking for a contract. In order to improve their chances of finding a label, at the start of 2001 Legacy call their friend bassist Edoardo Zambardi and record another demo album containing some of the new material written the previous year. The 6-track promo attracts the interest of many journalists, and through one of them, Beppe Diana, Legacy come into contact with Italian label Northwind.
The company’s management is willing to offer Legacy a contract, and the band starts working hard on writing new material and preparing a live show. In the meantime Edoardo is replaced by Gabriele Rosso on bass, while guitarist Danilo Bar from Firesuite also joins the band. Everything seems to be going smoothly, and the first half of 2002 sees Legacy playing live. Unfortunately, a short period of inactivity and personal problems for some band members force Naike and Gabriele first, then Omar and Paolo Angelillo (who replaced Naike on drums for a while) to go their separate ways.
The situation is critical, and with a contract signing looming and a studio recording session already scheduled, the guys have to roll up their sleeves and start looking for replacements. Through a contact provided by their label, Legacy hires singer Gianluigi Girardi (ex Paladine, Soul Takers, Winter Mist) and Max Lo Bue also comes onboard as a drummer. With Massimo agreeing to play both bass and guitar during the recording session, Legacy signs the contract and gets into New Sin Studios at the end of September 2003 to record their first full-length album “Impressions”. The band is obliged to change its name from Legacy to “Elegacy” as another group has the same name. At the beginning of 2004, before the release of “Impressions”, the group is completed by two newcomers: Ivano Gruarin on guitars, and Federico Malandrino on bass.
My Last Words
Elegacy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mind of a psycho funk I sell
The U-N-H-O-L-Y just as well
I think I gotta buzz from the quart of Champelle
Time to get wicked watch me kick it
And I'm a throw it in your face until your sick of it
You see the radio won't play my music
If I say suck my dick they refuse it
Fuck 107.5 and channel 62
Fuck the new dance show also
"I'm sick of that shit, listen to the hit"
And any motherfucker who doubts me
Close your mouth 'cause you don't know shit about me
I got a whole new attitude, I still get rude
I still kick wicked shit and I ain't changin' shit
Fuck censorship I say suck my dick
Back to back with a ho and a bitch
And all y'all suckas can suck my balls
And if I'm goin' to hell, I'm goin' out sayin' fuck y'all
(CHORUS)(4x)
Yeah I got some last words
Fuck all y'all
Bitches, niggaz, parents, teachers
The radio, the church house, and the preacher
Suck my dick till I die
You think I give a fuck if I make your grandma cry
Bitch get real, 'cause I'm a get ill
Some nigga tryin' to dis me? Now be for real
I got the funk I flow, just to fuck ya ho
And I'm cold gettin' pussy 'cause your bitch said so
Fuck Reverend Night, while I rock the mic
Better lock your doors on devil's night
'Cause I'm a crucafix and let loose the mix
And for the punks who don't like me let loose my dick
Turn the noise up and watch me tear it up
And if ya ain't singin' with me shut the fuck up
I'm gonna make ya holler, while I clock big dollars
While your bitch is cold screamin' my name, yes y'all
For all y'all hopin' for my downfall
Fuck all y'all
(CHORUS)
On your FM band, I get banned off the radio dial
I get buck wild, now I gotta style
That just won't quit
And if you don't like it just suck my dick
The U-N-H-O-L-Y son of a bitch
Cold holdin' my dick 'cause I'm doin' this shit
How this shit be done rappin' son of a gun
You said you saw me with the devil, but I ain't the one
So try to fess me, or even test me
But fuck you and Elvis Presley
I'm sick of that dead motherfucker let him die
Everybody always comin' with an alibi
Now they say he ain't dead, he livin' in Texas
When all the bitches on the planet think I'm sexist
Fuck Elvis Presley he can suck my nuts yes
What he meant to you, I give a fuck less
And I don't care about you, her, or him
It's long, tall, short, fat E-S-H-A-M
And to all the ones that hope for my downfall
It'll never happen so fuck all y'all
(CHORUS)
The lyrics of Esham's "My Last Words" describe an artist who is unapologetically vulgar and unafraid to challenge authority. The opening lines set the tone for the song - "Devilish rockin' in hell / Mind of a psycho funk I sell / The U-N-H-O-L-Y just as well / I think I gotta buzz from the quart of Champelle." These lines describe an artist who revels in their own villainy, who sells their own madness and takes pleasure in the sense of rebellion it engenders. Lines like "I got a whole new attitude, I still get rude" and "fuck censorship" emphasize this sense of defiance.
The rest of the song sets up a series of targets for Esham's lyrical wrath. The radio won't play his music, so he directs his anger at specific stations and shows. He disses Reverend Night and Elvis Presley, and angrily dismisses anyone who might doubt him. The final lines of the song - "And to all the ones that hope for my downfall / It'll never happen so fuck all y'all" - are a clear statement of defiance and confidence, as well as a final expression of Esham's desire to shock and offend.
Overall, the lyrics of "My Last Words" present a complicated and often unappealing artist who nevertheless possesses an undeniable charisma and ferocity. Their refusal to submit to authority or even basic social norms is both admirable and troubling, and the song is a testament to the raw power of their music.
