Legend Lyrics

We talking about legends, I ain't one yet but I respect them

Little homie from Parkside, 2010, I was on my way to shine

Gained respect from the older cats, started balling and they was like who is that

I started thinking to myself man, I can become the man

And what I do? Become the man

Deceptive, quick, fast, whenever I get the ball you know I'm going past

But there was this man I realized

Derrick Thompson, yeah this who I idolized

That's my big brother, you should know why

Big brother he had a reputation, I ain't have any patience

Mission Bay, everyone knew him, I'm just blessed that I grew up with him

Everyone started comparing us

I used to get mad, like, am I really as good as him

Or they just lying huh?

I want to be a legend like you

Derrick Thompson, you were all I knew

Big brother, I wanted to be you

Jealousy ruining me

I was scared to mess up the family tree

I guess this was meant to be

I thank you for taking me under your wing

Legend, that's what you are to me

Fast forward to sophomore year, the coach yeah I knew him

Started getting on my case, Derrick wouldn't do this, yeah I know

Tried to ignore him, practice was really getting intense

He tried to get in my face, hot breath, I started backing up

This Was The Norm For Me, I Tried Everything

He still wasn't happy, and I wasn't happy

I wish he'd saw that me and my brother was different

Cause to him my brother was a legend

And I was a failure

See nobody understand the shoes I had to fill

Those size 12s, I had size 10s, big ass gap to fill in

Oh god my brother dropped 30 again

Everyone loved him but what about me

Could yall come see about me?

I love you bro, this ain't what it seems

Hating on you would never be me

I want to be a legend like you

Derrick Thompson, you were all I knew

Big brother, I wanted to be you

Jealousy ruining me

I was scared to mess up the family tree

I guess this was meant to be

I thank you for taking me under your wing

Legend, that's what you are to me
