The Legacy
I gotta tell you something real
I’ve seen some stuff you’d never dream
Although I’m haunted by my past
I’ll never go back on my word

I can’t see clearly!
I think too deeply!
And not too briefly!
I’m so stuck in my thoughts!

The year was 2010, and I woke up it was Tuesday
Felt kinda tired but I knew I would be there to stay
Brushed on my teeth, got dressed, and got ready to play
I sure wish that I would have been prepared for what I heard that day

They said, he wasn’t breathing
They said, he had no beat
They said, his soul was leaving
They said, one day wе’d meet

I said, we are not done yеt
I said, can’t we just wait
They said, he became ashes
And nothing could stop his fate
I never even understood
What it meant to be understood
I sure feel so misunderstood
Nobody knows what I’ve endured
I tried my best to reassure
But my voice is always unheard
My vision feels like it’s obscured
I sure have aged but not matured

10 years later and I’m still affected by this day
I wrote this song way too late
Can’t try and move on just wait

I don’t even know anymore
But I think my mind’s at war
Sometimes I feel oh so sore
And other times I feel like nothing anymore

The year was 2010, and I woke up it was Tuesday
Felt really weak, and I didn’t know if I could stay
I prayed to my Lord, that I the cancer would be gone today
But I sure wish that I could’ve finished spreading love across the way

They said, I wasn’t breathing
They said, I had no beat
They said, my soul was leaving
They said, one day we’d meet

He said, we are not done yet
He said, can’t we just wait
They said, I became ashes
And nothing could stop my fate
I think I did my best
But I wish I did much more
I raised a kid a year past four
And I hope he will restore

My legacy bout the people
And how we all should be free
It’s hard to be kind indeed
But the legacy proceeds

All it’s soldiers in the war
All it’s generals and more
Life is like a crazy storm
So stop searching for the shore

Let my life show you the way
Of how kindness always stays
In the hearts of those affected
By its glory and its rays
