Lyrics
These my legacy notes from the nights i bled
For the life you live and the path you tread
Every tear i dropped built the roots you grow
So you'll never have to reap what i sow
I ain't perfect but i gave what i got
Wrote this letter so you know what i'm not
If the world ever try to dim your light
Just remember you was born to fight
I came from the mud where the sun don't shine
Wrote my pain in the margins of borrowed time
Never had a father teach me how to stand
Had to learn how to fight with a wounded hand
I was broke in the soul but i stayed in motion
Every cut i healed with a silent devotion
I ain't proud of the things that i had to do
But i'd crawl through the dark just to light your view
Back then i was chasing a dream with rage
Now i'm prayin you get a cleaner page
You my mirror my fire my reason to grow
These words my gift my legacy notes
I walked through the fire just to learn my worth
Left pieces of me buried in the dirt
But every wound i carry got a name and weight
And i wear 'em like armor not shame or hate
These my legacy notes from the nights i bled
For the life you live and the path you tread
Every tear i dropped built the roots you grow
So you'll never have to reap what i sow
I ain't perfect but i gave what i got
Wrote this letter so you know what i'm not
If the world ever try to dim your light
Just remember you was born to fight
You gon' face storms that i prayed you'd miss
But i know you built strong from a soul like this
Every stumble a lesson not a loss
Keep your head high when you bear that cross
Don't let this world tell you what you worth
Your name got weight from the day of your birth
Be gentle be wise but never back down
You a king in the making so fix your crown
Never fold under pressure that's how i was raised
But i hope you find peace in some softer ways
Every step you take i'll be right behind
Even gone my voice gon' echo in your mind
Build with love even when it's hard to trust
Leave a mark that's deeper than gold or dust
If the day comes you question who you are
Just read these words you already a star
These my legacy notes from the nights i bled
For the life you live and the path you tread
Every tear i dropped built the roots you grow
So you'll never have to reap what i sow
I ain't perfect but i gave what i got
Wrote this letter so you know what i'm not
If the world ever try to dim your light
Just remember you was born to fight
These my legacy notes from the nights i bled
For the life you live and the path you tread
Every tear i dropped built the roots you grow
So you'll never have to reap what i sow
I ain't perfect but i gave what i got
Wrote this letter so you know what i'm not
If the world ever try to dim your light
Just remember you was born to fight
