Legacy
Heritage O.P. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
All these niggas goin' crazy, so you better tuck your chain
If a nigga push the static then we pop out and we bang
Yeah, a nigga was a scholar but my legacy won’t change
I done seen a lot of things that little niggas never should
I had days where I could sit and smoke a pack or roll a wood
Y'all done see me do some shit that niggas never said I could
Now my legacy is more than tryna make it out the hood
All this money that you chattin' but you never paid a bill (Yeah, yeah)
Never had to scrap for nothin', never had to chase a meal (Whoa, whoa)
You was never on your grind, but I done had to chase, for real (Yeah)
I was used to moving slow but now I move a faster way
I had dreams when I was younger when I drove right past a Wraith (Past a Wraith)
I moved up when I was down and I could see my past today (Past today)
Got your shorty in my camera and I ain’t talking chatterbait (Chatterbait)
All you niggas on my dick, I know you love this shit (Love this shit)
I got a dime right in my bag, I swear she love to strip (Love to strip)
She give me top right off her brain, but on no student shit (Student shit)
And shorty ass could retarded on some stupid shit (Whoa, whoa)
And niggas rap about the same shit, I changed it
Niggas moving on some fake shit, I changed quick
I don't care about the fame shit, it's lame shit (Yeah, yeah)
Now I'm ridin' in some Wraith shit, the lane switch (Whoa, yeah)
All my niggas gotta eat and I'ma look out for the gang (Gang, gang)
All these niggas goin' crazy so you better tuck your chain (Whoa, whoa)
If a nigga push the static then we pop out and we bang (Whoa)
Yeah, a nigga was a scholar but my legacy won't change
I done seen a lot of things that little niggas never should (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I had days where I could sit and smoke a pack or roll a wood (Yeah, yeah)
Y'all done see me do some shit that niggas never said I could (Whoa, whoa)
Now my legacy is more than tryna make it out the hood (Whoa)
P-Trill present, hailing from thee K-B (Uh huh)
Tall stature, I bet people jack he a tree
I be working in the lab so I could see a 3 (The gym)
I'm the bomb, talking C-4 or T-N-T (Boom)
Young like M.A, but we all gon' E-A-T (Word)
Eating pellets with my mans, no P-A-C (Facts)
Always got each other back, with a P-A-T (Of course)
And if you think a nigga lack, catch that T-A-P (Stupid)
At your head top, orange hair rising like Ichigo
Super if it's blue, us Saiyans know where anger need to go (Uh huh)
My troopers in the coup, wrong move and we feed you bro
Shooting at your taper like a COOF is what we need from you
5 star no GTA, smart like a detective
Never give up, like it’s my ninja way, yo respect it
Talk with my eyes and see with my mouth, I'm that perceptive
Up next to be blessed with success, that’s my objective
All my niggas gotta eat and I'ma look out for the gang (Gang, gang)
All these niggas goin' crazy, so you better tuck your chain (Whoa, whoa)
If a nigga push the static then we pop out and we bang (Whoa, whoa)
Yeah, a nigga was a scholar but my legacy won't change
I done seen a lot of things that little niggas never should (Should)
I had days where I could sit and smoke a pack or roll a wood (Wood)
Y'all done see me do some shit that niggas never said I could (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now my legacy is more than tryna make it out the hood (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
