The Legacy
I. G Lyrics

Um, one of the most talked about parts of your life Your relationship with Faith How are things? I mean, we ain't together no more She just had a baby from me We cool though, we tight
The interviewer brings up I.G's past relationship with Faith Evans and asks how things are now. I.G says they're no longer together, but they had a child and they still have a good relationship as friends.

It's that Faith Evans right here Biggie Smalls, yo Faith you ready? You ready?
I.G introduces Faith Evans and talks to her before they start recording the song.

Venue after venue, I been through Come up to the telly so I could bend you Send you you to the store, condoms and more Jealous females call you sluts and whores
I.G mentions how he's been touring a lot and invites Faith to his room. He gets her some condoms from the store but other women are jealous and insult her.

Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show I laced the beat, you locked the flow
I.G reminisces about their past performances together. He produced the beats and Faith sang the lyrics with great skill.

Could it be my hardcore metaphor Make sweat pour on the bedroom floor? Open up the Lex door Jump on in, I'm kind of tired I'm a roll blunts while you spin
I.G wonders if his explicit lyrics make Faith hot in the bedroom. He invites her into his car and rolls some blunts while she chooses the music.

You twist up while I whip the bourbon You teach me while I'm standing, learning like You got your license, right? Alright, no swerving Hair blonde out, Madonna style, like a virgin Niggas see the ring, baguettes to death She looking for a man, honey he just left
I.G and Faith continue to smoke and drink while she shows him how to dance. He asks if she has her license and reminds her not to drive drunk. They talk about her appearance and her search for love while men notice the ring on her finger.

And I knew I knew from the very first moment That you were a king fit just for a queen And I can tell from day one you were for me Who knew that this love would be the legacy
I.G reflects on how he knew from the beginning that Faith was right for him and their love would be remembered.

And I'm so happy to say that I know you My whole life was changed instantly And I was willing to play my position, yeah When you made me your wife-to-be You were right by my side Through all the changes We've been through everything So far from strangers You more like my best friend My perfect angel I rock through thick and thin I loved you till the end
Faith expresses her happiness in knowing I.G and how her life changed when he proposed to her. She thanks him for being there through the good and bad times and considers him her best friend and perfect angel. She loved him until his death.

Grand Marnier increase the don strength Two four-fifths within my arm's length With a calm breath I say we got the flow Throw Little Cease the keys to the boat Tongue all down her throat, you know the routine Got my dick large like Bruce Springsteen I invite those girls that smoke lye Keep it real with you You keep it real with I We be tight like frog's ass Have you screaming, "Biggie, Biggie, give me one more chance"
I.G boasts about his ability to drink Grand Marnier and mentions his weapons. He talks about how him and Faith have the chemistry in the studio and how he trusts his associate Little Cease. He makes a sexual reference to his penis size and invites women who smoke marijuana to chill with him. He values honesty and loyalty and says they'll be tight like a frog's ass. He ends with a reference to his famous song.

Sometimes I get caught up imagining The way things could have been And there's no way that we can press rewind We can't go back, we can't turn back the time No, no No, we can't turn back We can't turn back the time
I.G admits that he sometimes thinks about how things could have been different between him and Faith but that there's no way to change the past.

But we gon' always be together Because, you know, we got a little shelly together
I.G reassures Faith that they'll always be linked because they have a child together.
