I'm not a stranger you can call me a preacher converting unbelievers
I pray to God that money and women don't come between us
That's why they never see us
Like a bullet to the skull I got the murder ink & anytime I
Drop a metaphor guarantee dead body
Mama said TyTyla be yourself, No de imitate
No de try be another some body
So come against me, loose to the bet
Ama put to the test
Blood batt.. all usually get
Rappers say they gonna murder
I'm use to the threat
E de make me laugh die
Am amuse to death
So pay dues and Respect
I cannot over throne who's in charge
Kinda twisted I find pain as pleasure
The industry dude quiet lay more effort
But I can push it till life change for better
I'm tryna make some cheddar
Gboom
Yea
Uncle Kevin
Sometimes in life
You get to be asked too many questions you know
People would wanna know
But I see myself above the top
Doing it big & keeping it real
That's what's up
Yea
CROTCHET
I remember when I used to hustle for the paper
I remember when I used to hustle for the mullah
No chain
No watch
Now I'm getting bigger
Hello to Ma Mama
I will see you sooner
Chicks in my Condo
I'm feeling like I'm
MI Abaga
Vector the Viper
Ice Zamany
Phyno Fino
Yes I be tryna keep it on a low
Be mindful, in life you reap, what you sow
Nwa ne, Lekwa mu, Lekwa gi
Nsogbu noqua na ishi mpagi
Osoqkwua gi, ga gbalie, ga gbada
Nmga aye gi, hardcore rap
From the east ama beast, don't tryna fuck with me
I'll make your levels inch you know, you do not fuck with me
Lhay
I be doing this
I know you feeling me
Ahye
I swear to God I'm building l.e.g.a.c.y
L.e.g.a.c.y that you can never fuck with me
L.e.g.a.c.y that you can never fuck with me
I've been anticipating, I've been seeing myself doing things greatly
I'm a legend in making, my style
My flow everything is amazing
I do not stoop low, Not Even Pretending
I came from the street
Currently I'm the beast
I want you to remember
You can never be as hard as me
I'm quick to explode
I'm coming for the throne
No apology
Incredible
Unstoppable
Music in my blood so I brother this
My dad say kill the beat so me go murder this
Threat to the throne, I know you're scared I'm killing this
Threat to the throne, I know you fucking scared I'm killing this
I will never back down until I prove I'm bigger
Make Mama proud Lhay
Two things I lost
Grandma and my virginity
Sacrifice to make a move Infinity
Give a temporary purity
I'm the light that bounces back a clear reflection of the future
Keep my presidents in line, I ain't talking Herbert Hoover
Alpha mind
Alpha mind
First of my kind, I'm built to design, I'm meant to shine, My style is out the line
You know me, I'm the chosen one to deny me you deny God
I'm building my success so fuck the losses




Like Nicholas Cage I'm on fire, And I never needing a Ghost Rider
L.E.G.A.C.Y
