Legacy
ZVK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Footprints in the sand to my destiny
I'll always keep a place in their memories
Never washed up, boy my legacy's down
This'll go down in my legacy
Footprints in the sand to my destiny
All I really pray is they remember me
This'll go down in my legacy
Do you ever think what bout you'll
Leave in this world so they'll remember you?
I do
I'm tryna make music that my kids' kids can listen to
Play it for their friends
And know that these vibrations
Are the methods that we living through
Wait, but hear the message that I'm giving
Relevance in my eye, longevity in my vision
Cos I've foreseen my music lasting for generations
Ain't no way in the future they'll want me silent
Cos I'm more of a threat when I move subtle and quiet
Tear up the place, then take off my mask
To see me smiling
Huh and with the gift of the charm I'm well endowed
With a talent for these lyrics I'm brainwashing the proud
Tell me why you all lacklustre
You all follow Twitter logic to the T
I'm not surprised you're all just numbers
I pray for tough love to my enemies
So as a legend goes up, leave the legacy down
This'll go down in my legacy
Footprints in the sand to my destiny
I'll always keep a place in their memories
Never washed up, boy my legacy's down
This'll go down in my legacy
Footprints in the sand to my destiny
All I really pray is they remember me
This'll go down in my legacy
I be
Rewriting history with a perfect pen
Still attacking these pages only for self-defence
I'm so ahead of my time I could be rapping about the year 3000
Still using the present tense
Its nonsense, spitters'll spit these days
The UK charts full of whack copies
Straight chosen by the white man, that you like to call hits these days?
You can skip this song if it triggers you
I'm no Martin Luther King
But I dream of a legacy that you can't forget
Till all that's left are hard feelings but no regrets
I'm still in debt to those who taught me integrity
But I don't owe no money, this ain't about a cheque
If you don't hear nothing else
Just remember please
I was born in '99 with opinions
But coz of time I couldn't explain
And that's a melody in itself
Leave the harmonies with my legacy
Down
This'll go down in my legacy
Footprints in the sand to my destiny
I'll always keep a place in their memories
Never washed up, boy my legacy's down
This'll go down in my legacy
Footprints in the sand to my destiny
All I really pray is they remember me
This'll go down in my legacy
