CHRIIS-K - Legacy 2.0

When I'm gone who's gone remember me
To be known forever I'm gone need a legacy
I'm gone put in the work now it'll pay off
24/7 on this dream there ain't no days off
Immortality's what I better see
They chasing number 1s, me I'm chasing legacy
Said when I'm gone who gone remember me
To be known forever I'm gone need a legacy

I hope to look back 20 years from now and smile
On a life spent chasing a dream which hopefully lasted a while
Trusting that hard work will put me on the map
Won't stop till my walls adorned with platinum plaques that I got off of rap
Publicity stunts tryna get me seen
I've learnt how success in this game is achieved behind the scenes
Deep in my head tryna find directions
Like I'm tryna interview Paul Pierce I need the truth to answer my questions
Thinking bout when I should drop
Cos I'm conscious that if one ain't blow soon Imma have to stop
That's called being realistic, something you ain't know
I wear my heart on my sleeve and it's beginning to show
I'm different than these other guys I plan ahead
Playing the futures market but with my rap career instead
My team and I got the same vision, we together
There's no shortcuts to the top if you're trying to last forever
I'm talking legacy goals, I'm talking making change
Trying to be talked about in reverance why me and you are not the same

When I'm gone who's gone remember me
To be known forever I'm gone need a legacy
I'm gone put in the work now it'll pay off
24/7 on this dream there ain't no days off
Immortality's what I better see
They chasing number 1s, me I'm chasing legacy
Said when I'm gone who gone remember me
To be known forever I'm gone need a legacy

So many times where I thought of quitting
Like what's the point of doing this if no one hears what I'm spitting
No one hears what I've written, I've put my heart in this
Done this all myself cos greatness ain't got no starter kit
But still I'm grinding day and night I gotta make what's right
They hate the sight but still, I write they want me down but imma fight
Self-belief has been my greatest weapon
The say imma regret this but never been the type to take suggestions
Especially not if you ain't part of the team
It's kinda like Inception in a way, they tryna manipulate my dream
I brush it off, I know that's how it go
It's all part of the plan which by now is starting to show
The way I'm rising of course they want a piece
But I ain't ever gone sign a deal if they can't guarantee the release
This rapping thing has been the soundtrack to my life
Taking it slow, gotta make sure that the soundtrack alright
Took a break from the mic had to learn behind the scenes
It's crazy learnt five skills at once just tryna be seen
I guess that's what attention do, becomes a drug
I'm tryna be known for my songs even when I'm up above

When I'm gone who's gone remember me
To be known forever I'm gone need a legacy
I'm gone put in the work now it'll pay off
24/7 on this dream there ain't no days off
Immortality's what I better see
They chasing number 1s, me I'm chasing legacy
Said when I'm gone who gone remember me
To be known forever I'm gone need a legacy
