B Mac - Legacy Lyrics

I do it for my name sake
Gotta make my name great
I do it for the ones who gone hold me down when I can't (Aye)
Gotta make sure they remember me
Every single part of me
From the heart of me
Cause this one's for my legacy
My Legacy
Cause this ones for my legacy
My legacy
I promise you'll remember me
Remember me
Every single part of me
From the heart of me
Cause this ones for my legacy
I can remember how it felt, growing up without my pops
And I remember how it felt when pops was struck out on them rocks
Also remember the promise that I made to myself
I'll be a better dad unlike the one that was never there to help
So when that day came and God blessed me with a son
I cried to my wife as I held my son up in my arms
Promised to love him forever and never leave him alone
Gonna teach him how to be a man and treat a woman with his mom
That's my legacy
So every move that I make matters
Cuz He sees the way I walk and he can hear all my chatter
So when I'm dead and gone I want him to remember me
Not for what I done on earth but that I done it for G O D
I do it for my name sake
Gotta make my name great
I do it for the ones who gone hold me down when I can't (Aye)
Gotta make sure they remember me
Every single part of me
From the heart of me
Cause this one's for my legacy
My Legacy
Cause this ones for my legacy
My legacy
I promise you'll remember me
Remember me
Every single part of me
From the heart of me
Cause this ones for my legacy
This one's for my youngest, and this ones for my little girl
My wild child my miss priss my little one with all the curls
Miss Olivia Brooke you a blessing and that's for sho
Was so tiny and so frail so moms always kept you close
And Held you tight (held you tight) but that's what we've all done
Mom Even almost got in a fight when that Lady tried to touch her lil one
From the countless stares and comments on how pretty you stay
To them long long nights cause you stay up way to late
One day you'll grow up and a young man will come in yo life
Hope you know your worth the world and make sho he treats you right
Cuz when I'm dead and gone I want you to remember me
Not for what I done on earth but that I done it for G O D
I do it for my name sake
Gotta make my name great
I do it for the ones who gone hold me down when I can't (Aye)
Gotta make sure they remember me
Every single part of me
From the heart of me
Cause this one's for my legacy
My Legacy
Cause this ones for my legacy
My legacy
I promise you'll remember me
Remember me
Every single part of me
From the heart of me
Cause this ones for my legacy
Whats a legacy, it's something that people remember you by
Whats a man to be, someone that looks after his family I
Don't take it for granted, granted i aint have the best example
Granted, I mess up but man I gladly carry that mantle
I place up on my shoulders, and get to stepping like im supposed to
So tell dad I made it without him doing all the things he was sposed to
Cuz that addiction was more important
Than his 2 sons his daughter and wife
He was strung out and haunted by the terrors of the night
How many kids grow up the same, without a decent example to live by
Mom Dad lost to the streets, been on they own since they was a small fry
Know I feel your pain and we not blood but I got ya back
I do it for a couple reasons, my legacy and you're a part of that
I do it for my name sake
Gotta make my name great
I do it for the ones who gone hold me down when I can't (Aye)
Gotta make sure they remember me
Every single part of me
From the heart of me
Cause this one's for my legacy
My Legacy
Cause this ones for my legacy
My legacy
I promise you'll remember me
Remember me
Every single part of me
From the heart of me
Cause this ones for my legacy
