Lo Key - Legacy lyrics

Let me see you stripped down to the bone

Its kind of ironic how much life changes
the ways that my words rearrange on the pages
and its easy to blame the disdain in my brain
on relations I make and the games that I play

but the truth – is we all ruthless
everybody lies disguised in what the truth is
cause its all about the guts and glory
everybody askin me what the fucks my story?

I was 7 years old when I wrote my first rhyme
July 10th 1991 the first line was :

“Wake up and face the day with the sunshine”
I pray for the day I regain my young mind

I was innocent with pure intentions
its hard to imagine in this new dimension
no plans of takin over the world
no fans sayin that I’m fuckin rapin a girl

Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Whether living or dead, My legacy will remain
Songs that can bleed on their own and kill the pain

Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Yeah I’m a little crazy, everyones a little crazy
If you can relate with me then maybe you can fuckin save me

yo he sits in his class right next to the window
and watches as the leaves sway and feelin the wind blow
and they thought that he was just a little bit slow
put him on the Ritalin an addict from the get go

this aint a sob story, this a true story
dead to the world now theres nothin you can do for me
at age 10 I blazed pens at night
I befriended the dead and layed prayin for some light in my life

then one rainy day I picked up a mic
and became Lo Key and forever I write
whether living or dead my legacy will remain
songs that can breathe on their own and kill the pain

distill the rain drops until the rain stops
then I drill and drain so my fate remains locked
on the tracks that you hear me rap on
and that’s why my clothes black
and smoke til it cracks gone

Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Whether living or dead, My legacy will remain
Songs that can bleed on their own and kill the pain

Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Yeah I’m a little crazy, everyones a little crazy
If you can relate with me then maybe you can fuckin save me

Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you speaking just for me
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you crying just for me
