So when I'm in pain, I bleed It hurts to cry But I see the better days Towards a brand new life for my legacy My legacy There's hope for my legacy My legacy When I started in this game, no one gave me respect Just a pat on the back, "Good luck, I wish you the best" "I didn't think I'd go far" is something that I'd confess I was depressed, couldn't get all these thoughts out of my chest Never used cologne, but I had the white scent They knew I never struggled in my life is what I meant They thought, "An Asian doing rap? He ain't making sense" Until this song came on, and I stood up from the bench Picture this in your mind, and we gon' turn back the time I wasn't gonna commit to college but suicide Back when everyone ran but instead I fell behind Back when the pressure clamped on my chest, so I wish I died My eyes weren't red from the high, but because I cried Friends would ask if I was alright but instead I lied "To see the top, you must fall to the bottom", said a Lyon I wished that people saw value inside me like a diamond So when I'm in pain, I bleed It hurts to cry But I see the better days Towards a brand new life for my legacy My legacy There's hope for my legacy My legacy Will anybody remember me if I'm gone? Or am I gonna be labelled another lost cause? Will I ever get the chance to show off what I got? Or am I gonna waste my life until my heart stops? Despite all the suffering, I did do a lot Worked on building my music and I around the clock I always took the small steps like I'm skipping some rocks Now I'm boutta make sure I got this game on lock Everybody wanna tell me that I'm gonna make it They tell me to remember faces when I'm almost famous They tell me that I'm going places, that I'm steady pacin' But half the faces don't even remember what my name is I don't need no affirmation 'cause I'm motivated I'm married to the music, we already did the dating Ain't doing copy and pasting 'cause that shit makes me basic Face it, I'ma grow to be the illest, it'll be contagious So when I'm in pain, I bleed It hurts to cry But I see the better days Towards a brand new life for my legacy My legacy There's hope for my legacy (Listen) My legacy Took a break from the MONSTER, but that's where I began Now I'm in album two, and I'm feeling like a champ Throw my tag on every beat, so you know it's my stamp I don't care if I come in first 'cause it never lasts I could bask in my glory and feel like I'm the man But inside, I'm still the kid who forgot how to laugh Ask the broken mirror if she remembers my past She uses the shards to remind me of my scar tats My reflection to me is another lesson And I don't need no protection from this mental recession I had a blessing from my family, I got no confessions Mind is full of retention, and depression felt like detention No, I ain't resting this session 'cause life will always be testing My legacy has been set in, it paints a beautiful setting Won't get an honorable mention, I hold myself in suspension Surrender evil intentions, I hope you all heard my message So when I'm in pain, I bleed It hurts to cry But I see the better days Towards a brand new life for my legacy My legacy There's hope for my legacy My legacy
