"Legendary" lyrics

Joey Bada$$

(feat. J. Cole)

[Joey Bada$$:]

This is legendary

Always been my mission, never secondary

Getting better every January, it's very scary

They gon' recognize eventually

I take it if they don't give it to me

Swear all of it was written for me (yep, yep)

By a higher card just spiritually (up, up)

Up and away, up on a plane, get out my way right now

I want you believe not only in me, but have some faith in yourself

I wish you peace and good health, happiness and some wealth

I threw a coin in the well, 'cause I was feeling so well

A token of how I felt, never heard it fulfilled

Not a noise, not a sound, still no reason to doubt

Quality what I sell, quantity in the cells

Quantum physics myself, count a million atoms of cells

This life I'm living it out, you're right, my vision is now

Don't let the prisoner cell build a strut to break out

My brothers at the brick house, the undercover stakeout

Can't you see it's a trap? The type of shit I think 'bout

I sensed they needed my help, that's why I had to reach out

What you think? I do it for my brothers under a spell

It's clear we living in hell, the life of a black male

Right out the womb you come out, and it's a bunch of blackmail

Just waiting for you to fail, a special room in the jail

With your name, a number on it so you property now

I see it properly now, it's what the poverty 'bout

It's all a game of Monopoly, tryna cop me a house

An elephant in the room until I fit in my tomb

And introduced to my doom, they say the end comin' soon

Legends, they never die

The niggas only multiply

So put your fire up in the sky

'Cause they won't ever kill the light

They say the legends, they never die

The niggas only multiply

So put your fire up in the sky

'Cause they won't ever kill the light

Tables keep turning, which way do I go?

A fire's burning inside of my soul

Tables keep turning, which way do I go?

A fire's burning inside my control

[J. Cole:]

Ready for whatever comes

I hope for the best, I taste the piece and pray it never leave my tongue

But yet, before long, the feelings done

Perhaps I was foolish just like the boy that prays to only see the sun

Maybe, life happens like tides

One minute you're low and feeling shallow then all of a sudden you rise

Just, ride the wave, I say to myself

Find a way, the weight of my wealth

It's honestly a lot to bear

I play the game of stacking knowing that I ought to share

How much does a man need? How much can he hoard before his greed?

How can a rich father teach humbleness to his seed?

Just questions, the stubborn all get taught tough lessons

I look at all I got like "What's missing?"

God is my only guess, 'cause yes, faith relieve the stress

I find peace again when I find Him and see I'm blessed

Real blessed, life has always got me wondering

(Wondering, wondering) Am I doing it right?

Am I hurting myself?

Am I wronging the ones that love me the most?What a burden to have

That ain't no way to live

Or maybe it is

Well, maybe it is

[Joey Bada$$:]

Tables keep turning, which way do I go?

A fire's burning inside of my soul

Tables keep turning, which way do I go?

A fire's burning inside my control

Legends, they never die

The niggas only multiply

So put your fire up in sky

'Cause they won't ever kill the light

They say the legends, they never die

The niggas only multiply

So put your fire up in sky

'Cause they won't ever kill the light

This is legendary, it's never secondary

I'm getting better every January

The idea of it alone is very scary

I kill my enemies by any means necessary

I said, this is legendary, it's never secondary

Getting better every January

The idea of it alone is very scary

I kill my enemies by any means necessary,necessary
