Red Arrow - Legacy

I ain't slept in days I'm just tryna get my mind right
Just tryna find the time, right
And I been waiting for my spot up in the limelight
I'm waiting till it's my turn
And niggas saying that I'm fire, I got something to burn
Put my pain in the past, leave that shit in the urn
I keep getting my heart broke, when the fuck I'm gone learn
I don't got nothing to lose, so instead I just earn
And I been keeping to myself, king of social distance
I don't want no company, so nigga mind ya business
I been tryna stack my bread until it touch the ceiling
And I got in my bag and got out my feelings
Cuz fuck emotions, they don't do shit but just make you feel weak
And I been deep inside the trenches tryna get to the peak
I wanna inspire every person that my music will reach
And I been up for 3 days, I don't know shit about sleep
I don't know shit bout inspiration, it ain't really there
My girl want me to talk but I don't really share
I could lose my life up in these streets, and it ain't really fair
I ain't really with the shits, but they don't even care
Cuz they don't really give a fuck if I was gifted
COVID or a bullet, man, I'm still a statistic, I wish it was different
What's worse, I'm just a young black man, if I get shot up on the block
They gone assume I'm just another nigga selling rocks
But that's not what I am, that's not who I wanna be
I got a whole life to live, dammit I better see
Cuz when it's all said and done, no matter how much shit you do
You can't even write your legacy
What's a legacy?
It's what they see when you go down
If you was loud with your voice or you didn't make a sound
But I don't give a fuck, y'all gone see me as a king, and
Heavy is the Head That Wears the Crown
