legacy - jake lyrics

look at us now, so far from perfect
falling short, but can we work
to prove we’re worth it?
more money, more fame
more things, man we’re so vain
black cards, gold chains
less freedom but more pain
there’s separation and segregation
racism still claims the innocents
and the innocence is bleeding out from our veins
there’s a disconnect in our intellect
when we see the facts but we don’t react
how can y’all watch somebody die
just cause their skin is black?
i don’t get how you deny the truth
today it’s him but tomorrow you
eyes wide shut looking all confused
like you’re bulletproof in that fancy suit
guns, guns! we need more guns!
m-ss shootings and car bombs
whole cities on lockdown
politics got us run down
bow down, bow down!
get on your knees, put ‘em up now
don’t look back when you bow out
measure the worth of your life now!
legacy, legacy, i pray that someone remembers me
everybody wanna make history
but i wanna be my own masterpiece
legacy, legacy, i pray that someone remembers me
i wanna go down in history
what’s gonna be my legacy?
my legacy. my legacy
look at us now, so far from perfect
i want my momma to have it all
give her all she could ever want
i know you’re proud of the man i am
i’d pay you back, i don’t think i can
i made some mistakes, yeah i know
more than a few; that’s how we grow
lost some, won some, then i lost some some more
i’ve seen a lot, i’ve done a lot
i’ve won a lot, i’ve spent a lot
i loved till i felt i was all loved out
made a mess and i fixed it up
elevated, i meditated, my mind expanded
now we’re separated
safe to say we’re on different planes
now my mind is set on some different things
but it’s ok
i wanna go down in history
what’s gonna be my legacy?
bow down, bow down!
get on your knees put ‘em up now!
don’t look back when you bow out
measure the worth of your life now!
legacy, legacy, i pray that someone remembers me
everybody wanna make history
but i wanna be my own masterpiece
legacy, legacy, i pray that someone remembers me
i wanna go down in history
what’s gonna be my legacy?
look at us now, so far from perfect
karma don’t work like we want it to
evil that’s buried comes back to you
not living up to old expectations
led us to cursing the next generation!
common sense ain’t that common in the common man
what’s the common plan?
how do we fix it? how do we mend
these old wounds, before we get consumed?
are we all doomed?
conversation! a conversation!
that’s the only way to find salvation
there’s no evolving with no involvement
that’s the real issue
if we don’t bridge the gaps then we’re going back
might as well continue to
bow down! bow down!
get on our knees put ‘em up now!
look what’s left when we bow out!
what’s the worth of our lives now?
legacy, legacy, i pray that someone remembers me
everybody wanna make history
but i wanna be my own masterpiece
legacy, legacy, i pray that someone remembers me
i wanna go down in history
what’s gonna be my legacy?
legacy, legacy, i pray that someone remembers me
everybody wanna make history
but i wanna be my own masterpiece
legacy, legacy. i pray that someone remembers me
i wanna go down in history
what’s gonna be my legacy?
look at us now, so far from perfect
falling short, but can we work
to prove we’re worth it?
look at us now, so far from perfect
falling short, but can we work
to prove we’re worth it?
