There’s one thing I constantly think about and that’s my legacy
Forget the legacy that athletes try to leave
Admired for the wrong reasons, it’s hard to believe
Hard to believe that flashing money takes precedent over charity
I’m just looking for a little clarity
Busy thinking about how others will remember me when my time stops
What will be said at my eulogy when I’m in that pine box?
I used to not care what people thought of me
Until I realized how important it was to leave each person with a part of me
Changing a life for the better is an unexplainable feeling
It puts things in perspective how important you can be in someone’s eyes
That even after you pass they look up for you up in the skies
That’s what I want, I want to work hard enough for all of you
Hard enough for you to say ‘he made me a better person’
Not because of bragging, not because of flash, especially not because of cash
I want to leave words behind that will never die
Keeping my memory alive with every line
Memories, I just want to create a handful
Take some weight off of you when you have your hands full
This is why I put my life out there for y’all to read with no hesitation
At the end of it all we’re all headed to the same destination
I just want to make the journey there a little better
Want to make you think differently with every letter
Want to make you see things in a different light
Keep you from wasting away when everything else around you might
I want to make you smile when you’re having a bad day
Make you reflect when things don’t go your way
I want to push you to push yourself and make that leap
Long after I’m buried six feet deep
This flesh of mine will just wash away with the dirt
But my memory will forever last on this earth
This is why I’m forever grateful that I have you all
Those that read this I just want to say thank you
Thank you for your valuable time and attention
You know who you are, too many names to mention
I’m indebted to you because you’re allowing me a chance to live on even after I’m gone
That’s more important than any material thing can ever be
I’m busy trying to create a lasting legacy.
