DIE A LEGEND Lyrics

Dream of financial freedom

Dream of the final feeling

Dream of the finest fabric

Dream of just living lavish

Dream of just giving back, and I dream that this all has happened

Dream of living in mansions,

Dream of being supported financially by my deepest passions

Dream that I'm so relaxed, effervescently spitting facts

Infinitesimally grounded in the flow, God at my back

Now I'm back on Ramona, now we conquer Corona

Now we back on the corner, Long Beach, or Atlantic

Now I'm just wreaking havoc, now I'm just speaking Spanish

Dippin' and dashing down Gladys, you can catch us on the balcony puffing gas

Ruminating on the future, reminiscing on the past

Made so many memories, most of them didn't last

Brought up by conditions, I wasn't in the position to make intelligent decisions

Emotionally compromised by the weight of my mission

If I don't die a legend, then my life was just a waste

I'm the first generation of my family in the United States

Mama came from Peru and Papa came from Poland

Everything I say or do is always true and never stolen

I'm beholden to the future that I wish to see

I'll carve my spirit in the stone before I let death get to me

Feeling like the John Lennon of rap, singing Let It Be

Pave my way to immortality through the rage, pain, and jealousy

You gon' see, just let it be

All black Celica, alien on the dash

Leaky P in the passenger, spitting facts just like the flash as people pass us by,

Hands raised to the sky, wondering whether to touch it or testify

Let these legends be rectified, cause when I die

I want my name upon the lips of the masses

Proclaiming praises and prayers, asking

How'd we let them pass us by, undetected?

2Sense make other rappers seem defective

Feel like detectives, searching for blessings like water in a desert

Only mirages in sight, bussing tables at Shore

Working hard all through the night

Just to make a check to pay the rent, go back to work tomorrow, start the cycle again

Same shit my friend, only we older and colder, bolder to challenges

Channeling my energy endlessly

Never throwin the towel in

Sepukku my spirit

This the knife I slice my bowels with

Blood spilling on the concrete, sacrifice on some pharaoh shit

Heart Black as a Pearl, on some Jack Sparrow shit

These rappers half the man I am

Cut the game in half, just a narrow it

My words the strongest medicine, Afghan heroin

You made me out the villain, show you who the real hero is with heroic spit

No Joseph Campbell when I drop the mic, it's like an anvil

Amityville when I grab it, die a fucking legend

From my atoms to my fabric, bitch

That's through and through

For all you motherfuckers that never knew what I do

Homie, I do what I say, and I'll be damned to hell

If I don't die a legend one day
