Marc ILL - Legendary

What it take to be great
I ain’t tryna be secondary
I just wanna be
I just wanna be legendary
(I wanna be)
I ain’t tryna be secondary
What it take to be great
What it take to be legendary
(I believe I’m gonna be)
I just wanna be great
I just wanna be legendary
(I’m gonna be)
I ain’t tryna be secondary
So I’m doing what it take
What it take to be legendary

They say smarten up nigga dumb it down
I’m lying saying I don’t want it now
I been chasing dreams tryna hunt it down
Tryna run it down
Gun it down
Shoot for stars they said
I should be shooting at mars instead
I gotta plan it out
It’s a given that nothings been handed out
But they hands is out
Tryna prevail
Chip on my shoulder is getting stale
Weight on my shoulders it need a scale
The world waiting on me to fail
People true colors is getting pale
Is it love, I can’t really tell
I might not ever rest
With all of these mountains I need to scale
Damn
Settle for greatness and never less
They playing checkers and never chess
I give it my all and never stress
Even tho I’m sitting here at a desk
And none of my dreams come with a desk
Every life come with a death
What I did with it they won’t have to guess

What it take to be great
I ain’t tryna be secondary
I just wanna be
I just wanna be legendary
(I wanna be)
I ain’t tryna be secondary
What it take to be great
What it take to be legendary
(I believe I’m gonna be)
I just wanna be great
(Gonna be, I’m gonna be legendary)

Too many acting like they made it and ain’t done shit
Faded and was done quick
I happened to be nice with some shit I’m having fun with
When I’m not that’s when I’m done with it
We them ones move as one with it
You don’t like it that’s just one critic
You know it’s always some critics
Telling you what you can’t do
Judging something they can’t do
Saying things that ain’t true
Even tho it’s no limits the world gon always try to tank you
Pops said don’t let that taint you
For that I’m forever thankful
That’s real shit
Visions of breaking records
You win some, you lose some
I take em and make a record
And yea they make em too but it’s like
Every time I listen, I wanna toss them records
I’m better than all these niggas
Couldn’t leave that off the record
Yea

(Gonna be, I’m gonna be legendary)
