Legacy (Remix)

Yeah

Y'all know we the legs and feet of the legacy, yeah
Predestined to be before the pregnancy, yeah
Or just a piece of the puzzle, if I could speak for myself
I'm walking in the footprints that was left for me
Yellow notepad, writing letters down to my future self, yeah
Generational life and I'm fighting tooth and nail
Breath of God, hovered the seas and my seeds flew the sail, yeah
Hold my daughter real close and I give her room to fail
Yeah, that's legacy, legacy, yeah
Integrity, discipline is the recipe, yeah, shit

The church is without walls
The first one is gon' cost, I give you the next lesson free

Oh, legacy, oh, legacy
Philly boy, yeah, I was born in the '70s
Raising up the sons and my daughters to be a better me, yeah
Raising my voice, hope they remember me
Oh, legacy, oh, legacy
Oh, legacy, oh, legacy
Oh, legacy, oh, legacy
Raise my voice up, hoping that they remember me, oh

North Philly Jilly really come from the bottom
From the scrabbling weed
Wanted to be more and see more
I thought that I could do it
So I listened to Vaughn, Gladys, back in the Pips
R. Pharrell and Burrell, Mithra, Streisand and Prince
Del Rio for sex, Millie Jackson for pinch
Mahalia Jackson for hymn
RuPaul Morris and Rakim for the strength of my pen
I stand with Queen Jill Scott, an amalgamation of them

Ooh, legacy, legacy

Legacy, legacy

Grateful for what they gave me
North Philly made lady

My life, combination of work and dream
Finding on stage and screen
This is my destiny

Yeah, that's legacy, legacy, yeah
Integrity, discipline is the recipe, yeah, shit
The church is without walls
The first one is gon' cost, I give you the next lesson free
Oh, legacy, oh, legacy
Philly boy, yeah, I was born in the '70s
Raising up the sons and my daughters to be a better me, yeah
Raising my voice, hope they remember me
Oh, legacy, oh, legacy

Oh (Legacy), legacy, oh, legacy (Legacy)
Oh (Legacy), legacy, oh, legacy (Legacy)
Raising up the sons and my daughters to be a better me
Oh, legacy, oh, legacy

Oh (Ooh), legacy, oh, legacy
Oh, legacy, oh, legacy

Raise my voice up, hoping that they remember me, yeah
