Legacy
Proverb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's my life so Iā€™m gon' try live it quite different
By the minute I rise with it
And fly past the sky limit
My eye I fixed it on the prize it's quite vivid
Couldnā€™t try and extinguish the fire in my spirit
I'm living in the present in essence I'm gifted
Every second I'm counting blessings that I'm given
It seems to get to success you have to buy a ticket
It's a dream but you can't sleep if you wanna live it
I wanna love whole heartedly so honestly
It's a soul part of me and it flows in my arteries
You would swear itā€™s in the air that I gotta breathe
And when you share you prepare for it properly
See love is the God in me
That got in me
Itā€™s that garden of autumn leaves, that's falling free
Love is whatā€™s calling me melodically
But it's hard to respond to love if that's not how you live

I wanna give the world all the truth in me
Cause God he put me here to leave a legacy
To leave a legacy
I wanna give the world all the truth in me
Cause God he put me here to leave a legacy
To leave a legacy

I also wanna learn and continue to learn and just keep learning
I want the fires of knowledge to keep burning
I know the pages of time will keep turning
The information will pile and keep churning
I keep yearning cause each person is deserving
To reach a certain level, that's why Iā€™m determined
Cause ignorance is a free burden
With detrimental consequences that why we need to reverse it
I wanna leave a legacy
Want peeps to remember me
For my different pedigree
Cause he was legendary
When he would speak it was with a deep sense of peace
When he'd teach it would reach an intensity
I want them to speak of a unique energy
Say he had self belief to read the recipe
To achieve his dreams reach his destiny
I want that to be my legacy
That's the reason I live

I wanna give the world all the truth in me
Cause God he put me here to leave a legacy
To leave a legacy
I wanna give the world all the truth in me
Cause God he put me here to leave a legacy
To leave a legacy

I wanna give the world all the truth in me
Cause God he put me here to leave a legacy
To leave a legacy
I wanna give the world all the truth in me




Cause God he put me here to leave a legacy
To leave a legacy
