Lyrics
LEGENDS
Written by Tonyaa Staples Rodgers, Jerel L Allen, & DeMario A Hardmon-Fort
Verse
Sorry, for the wait; Had to postpone
Had a pass interference; had to go long
What I look like running from a challenge
That ain't how it's done where I come from
9 times out of 10 I'm the victor
Shaking up the scales on the Richter
I'm lit I ain't even get my drink on
Turn the bass up to my theme song!
Chorus
I can't help myself
I got to give 'em what I came for
Step by step
See I was under but I came up
Breath by breath
I took the smoke and turned the flames up
Sweat by sweat
Post-chorus
You got to see for yo' self
See what's next
I got the stuff legends are made of
Check my flex
Let me tell ya what I'm talkin bout
Verse
When you run and tell about me
Don't forget how
I'm determined Imma get it
I don't play 'round
I'm a nightmare to my worst fears
'don't quit
Never did
Just drift then I shift gears
Yes, I'm
Upping the price of my presence
But Imma give you one free lesson
We ain't got time to waste
Gotta get back to my theme song
Chorus
I can't help myself
I got to give 'em what I came for
Step by step
See I was under but I came up
Breath by breath
I took the smoke and turned the flames up
Sweat by sweat
Post-chorus
You got to see for yo' self
See what's next
I got the stuff legends are made of
Check my flex
Bridge
Wait a minute Wait a minute Wait a minute now
Legends, (yeah) to the frontline
Break it down for 'em one time
Legends, (yeah) to the flo' now
Show 'em how it's done let's go now
Legends!
Are you with me?
We about to make history
Legends, Turn the flame up
Show 'em how to really do the thang up
Chorus
I can't help myself
I got to give 'em what They came for
Step by step
See I was under but I came up
Breath by breath
I took the smoke and turned the flames up
Sweat by sweat
Post-chorus
You got to see for yo' self
See what's next
I got the stuff legends are made of
Check my flex
Now you know what I'm talkin bout!
