Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm back drinking whiskey
Yeah, I, I
Needed a reason to go off, I think I found one (I think I found one)
Don't know what legend is until you been around one (been around one)
We poppin' champagne on a jet, think I been wildin' (you're wild)
Bottle after bottle, I just drank a gallon (yee, yee)
I put some gold up on my teeth and my medallion (bling)
My favorite time of day, the name my second album (yeah)
The sun go down, it's like a monster just came out him
Yeah
I just wanna chill and tuck off with a bad one
Man, y'all be stressing me, ah, fuck I need a Valium
I remember when I first made thirty thousand
And now I spent that on some dinner, eat Italian (linguine)
We really did it, bruh, we came up from the bottom
It's what is, I swear I see it how I call it
I swear you're lookin' like a L, you're not far from it
And I just go into the booth and then I vomit, yeah
The neighbors knocking, all complaining 'bout the volume
I bought the house, bitch, I don't understand the problem
They bite the swag off, stealing juice, I swear they robbin'
I swear my lifestyle '97 Dennis Rodman
I, I
Needed a reason to go off, I think I found one (I think I found one)
Don't know what legend is until you been around one (been around one)
We poppin' champagne on a jet, think I been wildin' (you're wild)
Bottle after bottle, I just drank a gallon (yee, yee)
Since I was young they say that boy he got some talent (he does)
I put some gold up on my teeth and my medallion (bling)
My favorite time of day, the name my second album (yeah)
The sun go down, it's like a monster just came out him
Yeah
I just want to pull off in that Testarossa (vroom)
I just sent a text and then that bitch came over (hi)
Man, I be faded, faded, rarely am I sober (I'm gone)
And you ain't got it, you a muthafuckin' poser (bitch)
She wanna fuck, eeh, I'm not mad at it
It's all right there, man, you just gotta go and grab it (yah)
I text I want her, then I fly her like Aladdin (woo)
But if she ain't the baddest, then I put her in main cabin (sorry)
They follow me at the party, I walk around it
Like, "Is it me, or did this room just get crowded?" (fuck off)
And there's some sixes up in here, like who allowed in? (who?)
She thinks she got a chance, I really fuckin' doubt it
Needed a reason to go off, I think I found one (I think I found one)
Don't know what legend is until you been around one (been around one)
We poppin' champagne on a jet, think I been wildin' (you're wild)
Bottle after bottle, I just drank a gallon (yee, yee)
Since I was young they say that boy he got some talent (he does)
I put some gold up on my teeth and my medallion (bling)
My favorite time of day, the name my second album (yeah)
The sun go down, it's like a monster just came out him
Yeah
Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde, yeah
Yeah
Woo
Yee
Ha ha ha
The lyrics to G.O.D.'s "The Legend" is a portrayal of a life of excess and wild living of a rap star. The first verse talks about the feeling of being a legend, with the lyric 'Don't know what legend is until you been around one' indicating the arrogant persona of a rapper who believes he's on the top of the world. The reference to drinking whiskey and popping champagne back-to-back reiterates the feeling of indulging in wild partying.
Furthermore, G.O.D. talks about his success story from rags to riches. He raps about how he started with only 30 thousand dollars and now can afford lavish dinners and a lifestyle similar to that of NBA's Dennis Rodman in the 90s. The second verse communicates his desires for women and material belongings, with references to a Testarossa, and flying women like Aladdin. The last line of the verse "She thinks she got a chance, I really f\*ckin' doubt it" is a reflection of an attitude that is not uncommon in rap lyrics, which reinforces the idea of arrogantly looking down on others.
Overall, "The Legend" is a portrayal of an individual who has risen to fame and wealth, basking in the luxuries of a wild and indulgent lifestyle, and confident in their own abilities and stature.
