[Chorus: Mike Posner & Talib Kweli]
(Legacy)
I can see the future
(Legacy)
I know who I am
(Legacy)
I think I can feel my (Yeah)
(Legacy)
Lega-lega-legacy (Uh, uh, yeah)
[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
Legacy is when you need no introductions (None)
You walk in the room and everybody start buzzin'
Legacy, when your reputation precedes you
Little kids grow up, they wanna be you
Legacy is when you're silent, but your presence felt
The product like drugs 'cause it sell itself
Yeah, you survived many disasters
And now, they hang your jersey from the rafters (Yeah)
And see these jokers gettin' greedier? (Come on)
Gotta hit the road when the locals don't believe in ya
My music in museums, it's timeless as Mona Lisa, bruh
A legacy artist, I don't need social media
So, when you see me online, I'm havin' fun, trust
Unjust situations make me wanna gun-bust (Brrah)
But I'm a man of peace (Yeah), and so I plan to be poetic
With my words to help you curb and understand the beast
We keep it all love in the nightclub (Let's go)
They wanna turn the nightclub into the fight club (Let's go)
My life's blood runs deeper than a knife cut
This the crack that the dope boys slice up
My lyrics sound scary to the corporate sellers (Yeah)
I'm like '97 Rockafella, but more Griselda (Yeah)
My observations make your heart stop, like organ failure
So, they think that I could see the future like a fortune teller
(Legacy)
I can see the future
(Legacy)
I know who I am
(Legacy)
I think I can feel my (Yeah)
(Legacy)
Lega-lega-legacy (Uh, uh, yeah)
