G. Dot & Born Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Same age not same page some incomplete sentences
A disconnect a break up like they never the got messages
The end of my story hope they find out what the lesson is
Cuz when I get my happy ending know that I'm blessed with it
Came up from a little town my people know the rest of it
Used to have a couple limits now I'm just testin it
Leave a legacy they'll share my name like old testament
I'm not done yet so I'm still here a living legend yo
Reinvestin in my game back to raise my stock
Runnin into walls like they hit the body block
Opportunity won't come to my door so I stand at theirs and knock
Bout to go and kick the door in guess they must forgot the lock
Go ahead and ride for me when you see it's a trend
When I started this I had to go and lose some fake friends
All the leeching they were doin' had to come to an end
Here we are a few years later gonna do it again
Want some of my time but they don't know the worth
They don't put in the grind so they don't know the hurt
They got nothing like mine cuz I'm always back to work
I can't afford to come in last I only want first
Same age not same page some incomplete sentences
A disconnect a break up like they never the got messages
The end of my story hope they find out what the lesson is
Cuz when I get my happy ending know that I'm blessed with it
Came up from a little town my people know the rest of it
Used to have a couple limits now I'm just testin it
Leave a legacy they'll share my name like old testament
I'm not done yet so I'm still here a living legend yo
Eating MCs since I was just at PV
Only knew me when G was 16
Since PG was Indy
Soon my whole city gonna see me on the tv
Gonna see how I went big league
They still chew on me like Dentyne
Since day one I told em link in my bio
Shout out day one fans my boy Nick from Ohio
Going 3 years strong I told em support don't follow
Cuz I'm breakin out the basement now I'm messing up the tile
Show em what they're missing
Don't tap in then they're tripping
So join me on my mission
Cuz I'm here to make a difference
I'm nowhere close to finished




Five 1-7 better listen
Cuz my journey started here and it's gon end in The Mitten

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to G. Dot & Born’s song “Living Legend” tell the story of two individuals who are the same age but on different paths. There is a disconnect and a break-up between them as they never got each other’s messages. The artist reflects on his journey, hoping his listeners will learn from his story. He acknowledges that he is blessed with a happy ending, having come from a small town and overcoming various limitations to leave a legacy that they will share like the old testament. He is not done yet, and even after achieving success, he continues reinvesting in his game back to boost his stock.


The song highlights the pain and sacrifice that goes into achieving success, like running into walls, having to kick doors in, losing fake friends, and enduring an incomplete journey. The artist suggests that the only way to make progress is to put in the grind and work harder than anyone else. He is living proof that if you keep working, opportunities will arise. And if you take it one step at a time, you’ll eventually end up where you belong.


Some possible interpretations of the song include the importance of chasing one’s dreams, staying true to oneself, and persevering through difficult times. The lyrics seem to encourage the listener to trust the process, focus on what they want, and never give up until they achieve their goals. The song is an inspiring tale of determination that drives people to keep pushing forward, even if it feels like there's no hope.
