[Intro]
AmFmaj7
Tell me where to go,
Dm7E
Tell me what to do, I'll be right there for you
AmFmaj7
Tell me what to say,
Dm7 E N.C.
No matter if it's true, I'll say it all for you (for you, for you, for you)
[Verse 1]
AmFmaj7Dm7
I used to be the type of kid that, would always think the sky is falling
EAm
Why am I so differently wired? Am I a martian?
Fmaj7Dm7
What kind of twisted experiment am I involved in
E
Cause I don't belong in this world
AmFmaj7
That's why I'm scoffing at authority, defiant often
Dm7E
Flying off at the handle with my mom, no dad
AmFmaj7Dm7
So I'm non-compliant at home, at school I'm just shy and awkward
E
And no I don't need no goddamn psychologist
AmFmaj7Dm7
Tryna diagnose why I have all these underlying problems
E
Thinking he can try and solve 'em,
AmFmaj7
I'm outside chalking up, drawings on the sidewalk
Dm7
and in the front drive talking to myself
EAm
Either that or inside hiding off in
Fmaj7Dm7
The corner somewhere quiet, trying not to be noticed
EAmFmaj7
I'm crying and sobbing, I had a bad day at school so I ain't talking
Dm7E
Some cocksucker shoved me into a fucking locker, cause he said I eyeballed him
[Pre-Chorus]
AmFmaj7Dm7EAm
And if you fall, I'll get you there,
Fmaj7Dm7EAm
I'll be your savior from all the wars
Fmaj7DmE
That are fought inside your world,
Am Fmaj7 Dm7 N.C.
Please have faith in my words
[Chorus]
AmFmaj7Dm7E
Cause this is my legacy, legacy yeah
AmFmaj7Dm7E
This is my legacy, legacy yeah
AmFmaj7Dm7E
There's no guarantee, it's not up to me you can only see
AmFmaj7Dm7E
This is my legacy, legacy legacy, legacy
[Verse 2]
AmFmaj7Dm7
I used to be the type of kid that, would always think the sky is falling
EAm
Why am I so differently wired in my noggin' ?
Fmaj7Dm7
Cause sporadic as my thoughts come, it's mind boggling
EAm
Cause I obsess on everything, in my mind small shit bothers me
Fmaj7Dm7
But now my father, he said Sayonara, then split
EAm
But I don't give a shit, I'm fine long as
Fmaj7Dm7
There's batteries in my Walkman, nothing is the matter with me
EAm
Shit look at the bright side at least I ain’t walking
Fmaj7Dm7
I bike ride through the neighborhood of my apartment
EAm
Complex on a ten speed which I've acquired parts that I
Fmaj7Dm7
Find in the garbage, a frame and put tires on it
EAm
Headphones on straight ahead and kids try to start shit
Fmaj7Dm7
But if this all there is for me, life offers
EAm
Why bother even trying to put up a fight, it's nonsense
Fmaj7Dm7
But I think a lightbulb just lit up in my conscience
E
What about them rhymes I've been jottin'
Am
They are kinda giving me confidence
Fmaj7Dm7
Instead of tryina escape through my comics
EAm
Why don't I just blast a little something like Onyx
Fmaj7Dm7
To put me in the mood to wanna fight and write songs that
E
Say what I wanna say to the kid that said that I eyeballed him
AmFmaj7Dm7
Grab hold of my balls like that's right, fight's on bitch
EAm
Who would've knew from the moment I turned the mic on that
Fmaj7
I could be iconic, in my conquest
Dm7 N.C.
that's Word to Phife Dog from a Tribe Called Quest
[Chorus]
AmFmaj7Dm7E
Cause this is my legacy, legacy yeah
AmFmaj7Dm7E
This is my legacy, legacy yeah
AmFmaj7Dm7E
There's no guarantee, it's not up to me you can only see
AmFmaj7Dm7E
This is my legacy, legacy legacy, legacy
[Verse 3]
AmFmaj7Dm7
I used to be the type of kid that, would always think the sky is falling
EAm
Now I think the fact that I'm differently wired's awesome
Fmaj7
Cause if I wasn't I wouldn't be able to work
Dm7E
Words like this and connect lines like crosswords
AmFmaj7
And use my enemy's words as strength
Dm7E
To try and draw from, and get inspired off 'em
AmFmaj7
Cause all my life I was told and taught I am not shit
Dm7E
By you wack fucking giant sacks of lying dog shit
AmFmaj7
Now you shut up, bitch I am talking
Dm7
Thought I was full of horseshit and now
EAm
You fucking worship the ground in which I am walking
Fmaj7Dm7
Me against the world so what? I'm Brian Dawkins
EAm
Versus the whole 0-16 Lions' offense
Fmaj7Dm7
So bring on the Giants, Falcons and Miami Dolphins
EAm
It's the body bag, game bitch I'm supplying coffins
Fmaj7Dm7
Cause you dicks butt kiss, a bunch of Brian Baldingers
EAm
You gon die a ball licker, I've been diabolical
Fmaj7Dm7
With this dialogue since '99 Rawkus
E
You don't respect the legacy I leave behind
AmFmaj7Dm7
y'all can suck a dick the day you beat me pigs'll fly out my ass
EAm
In a flying saucer full of Italian sausage
Fmaj7Dm7
The most high exalting and I ain't halting
EAm
Till I die of exhaustion inhale my exhaust fumes
Fmaj7Dm7
The best part about me is I am not you
E
I am me I'm a fire marshall and this is my
[Chorus]
AmFmaj7Dm7E
Cause this is my legacy, legacy yeah
AmFmaj7Dm7E
This is my legacy, legacy yeah
AmFmaj7Dm7E
There's no guarantee, it's not up to me you can only see
AmFmaj7Dm7E
This is my legacy, legacy legacy, legacy
