“Legacy” is the opening track on the YouTuber ImDontai’s eighth EP, Unburden. As a direct ode to his viewers, he speaks on distinctive topics such as personal life, his career, and racial injustice over a simple, guitar-based instrumental. The track portrays his everyday being and how rapping helps...
[Intro: Denzel Washington]
I found that nothing in life is worthwhile
And lets you take risks
Nothing
Nelson Mandela said, "There is no passion to be found
Playing small
And settling for a life that's less
Than the one you're capable of living"
[Verse]
It's me, bro, sinking in these verses like a free throw
I'm getting different presidents like I collect Amiibos
I done touched so many lives, but I ain't met that many people
While my pigment signified that in these times we ain't equal
Oh, is he woke? No, this ain't a stand-up show
My black life matters, they laughing when I post that though
And then some white kids that be watching, they just laugh at bro
But as soon as I spoke that I'm black and I'm proud, they go off
You can unfollow if you want, but, nigga, that's your loss
My skin is still awesome
It's often obscene when you listen to me, but see, that's just how I speak
And I am what I preach, and I ain't changing for anybody
I'm only speaking what I'm feeling and my energy can't be replicated
So they just steal it, I been breaking through barriers like Godzilla through a building
I get tingles when I'm spilling my heart out my throat and I hope I don't choke on the words that I spoke
But if I said it, I mean it, the mark on my hand for the demons
They been sleep while I'm scheming
I been living out half the shit that they been wishing and dreaming
Mind heavy and them thoughts inflated, death ain't waiting, tickets punching at the nearest station
This is not rap, it is just a stress reliever
Shit is weighing heavy, man, I had to give my chest a breather
And do not listen if you can't relate
The shift in plenty plotting on a player keep you wide awake
At them early hours, birds chirp, dew dripping of them curly flowers
You wanna do way better than the next man
And I wanna do way better than my next plan
My vocals reach north, south, east, also west, and
I know there is other beings out there other than the humans
I'm sorry, my mind zooming, but who is you? I'm clueless
I make music, on stream, I just act stupid
It seems that you been knew this, I mean, I been so foolish
Indeed, it's a bit 'toonish, I need youth feeling again
It seems the older I get, the closer Earth at an end
Before it does or before I'm in the tomb
Let me speak my truth, bitch, I'm the hottest in the booth
This is no debating, nigga, I ain't making any room
If I hear a boo, I assume you is off the shrooms
Pretty soon, ain't no competition, blood up in the wound, boom
I'm a king, queen, be my boo thing, that's some true shit
Women nowadays fucking ruthless
Snake thoughts in they head as many as Medusa's
Solo when I make the bread, I don't know what a crew is
They look at me for guidance and I got a lot of students
Catch me preaching like a reverend, bro
Always thought outside the box, I did it since eleven
Yo, I've changed a lot of lives, my vocals really like a weapon
So I use this shit for good, and I'ma really die a lege- (Shh)
Woah
