LEGACY

They say
Restrain your mind
Good girl
Be sweet be kind
Their words
Are preventing you
Kept tight
A spider web for you

Make some noise honey
And break the rules
Fill the room
And make your moves
Visible
Make them see
The worth of you
Is the same
As he

Make way
Take control
Be free be strong be invincible
Break free
Never mind
Their looks
You'll be fine

Make some noise honey
And break the rules
Fill the room
And make your moves
Visible
Make them see
The worth of you
Is the same
As he

He who never even was the half of you or me
He who made the rules in favor not for she
He who runs the world into an age of war and rage
Building up a blockage for those who not obeyed

Make some noise honey
And break the rules
Fill the room
And make your moves
Visible
Make them see
The worth of you
Is the same
As he

Visible
Make them see
The worth of you




Is the same
As he

Overall Meaning

In the song Legacy, Rose empowers women to break free from the constraints put on them by society and to make their worth visible. The first stanza depicts the societal expectations that women must be restrained and sweet. However, these words are just obstacles that prevent women from realizing their true potential. The metaphor of a spider web conveys the idea of entrapment and how women are often caught in the trap of societal expectations.


The chorus of the song advises women to "make some noise honey and break the rules." This line encourages women to make their voices heard and to challenge the patriarchal norms that have been imposed upon them. The repetition of "make them see the worth of you is the same as he" emphasizes that women are just as valuable as men and should be treated as such.


The final stanza sheds light on the discrimination and dominance that men have exerted historically, and the havoc it has wrought upon the world. This stanza advocates for women to take control and create a better future for themselves. It calls for women to actively fight against these unjust systems that prevent them from reaching their full potential.


Overall, Legacy is an empowering song that speaks directly to women who have been put down and made to feel small. It encourages them to use their voices to shatter the shackles of oppression and to let their worth be seen.
