Legacy
Simmonds & Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I leave this earth how will you all remember me?
As a guy who's filled with love for his family
As a guy who's gonna grind until the death of me
I'll always give the best of me until it's rest in peace
Best believe before I'm dead you'll know how much this meant to me
It's meant to be, so when you bring up greats you'll mention me
It's all about my legacy, my legacy, my legacy
I've been at this way to long, some probably think that I should quit
But I'll be damned if I move according to what you think
You ain't my pops, you ain't my moms, you ain't my God
How dare you try to dictate what you can not stop
I'm focused, gotta make my family proud
You can keep your pennies, I don't want 'em now
This ain't never been about no money
But it's always been about my name
This is all about what I'm becoming
Never did it for the fame
Never did it for the game
And I've never been the same
Okay
I'm putting in these hours in the studio
I'm moving though
Plus I've been working on these movies bro
I'm soon to blow
I feel it and I'm gearing up to go
I gave my life for this so when it's said and done
I'm never moving on, going till I'm dead and gone
It's all about my legacy, my legacy, my legacy
When I leave this earth how will you all remember?
As a guy who's filled with love for his family
As a guy who's gonna grind until the death of me
I'll always give the best of me until it's rest in peace
Best believe before I'm dead you'll know how much this meant to me
It's meant to be, so when you bring up greats you'll mention me
It's all about my legacy, my legacy, my legacy
My my legacy
My my legacy
My my legacy
My my legacy
The song "Legacy" by Simmonds & Jones reflects on the artist's desire to leave behind a strong legacy after they have passed away. The artist wants to be remembered as someone who prioritized their family and worked hard until the end. They disregard anyone who thinks they should quit and focuses on making their family proud rather than on fame or money. They mention their dedication to their craft, putting in hours in the studio and honing their skills, all the while believing that their hard work will pay off. Ultimately, they want to be remembered as a great in their field and leave behind something meaningful that will outlast their time on this earth.
The song speaks to the human desire to leave behind a lasting impact on the world, something that will be remembered even after we are gone. It also emphasizes the importance of prioritizing family and doing something for personal satisfaction rather than for superficial reasons like money or fame. The song is a reminder to live life with purpose and to always strive to be the best we can be.
