Legacy

[Intro: Dr Koul]
Legacy of the struggle from those that came before
Always stronger together you best remain assured
Keep your head in the game if you gonna make it through

[Verse 1: Evita Koné]
Caught in the flood and the water’s rising
Can’t always tell but I’m always fighting
Under the surface there’s a war inside
To get swept up, stay true, or pray for a kinder tide
We trying to eat, we poets for hire
A way to feed the soul with a rhyme
Words and beats could be a shoulder to cry on
When the lights out, show’s over, and the roses dry up

[Bridge: Evita Koné]
I’ll give you your flowers (flowers)
I’ll give you your flowers
Flowers, your flowers (flowers)
Ooh, I’ll give you your flowers
I’ll give your your flowers
Your flowers (flowers)
You your flowers, your flowers
Your flowers

[Chorus: Dr Koul]
Legacy of the struggle from those that came before
Always stronger together you best remain assured
Keep your head in the game if you gonna make it through
Raise your voice so they stay the course

[Verse 2: Imagine]
Put a little effort you probably gonna get a lot
Until I find my treasure I promise I’ll never stop
Is that the attitude you need if you want to get to the top?
But the higher the altitude, bigger gonna be the drop
We went from slippery slopes where mystery spoke
Trusting the language of each breath giving shivers to those
Who were kind enough to listen on a path that could crumble
At any given moment so we tried to stay humble
Now we stick together like mountains, holding our ground when
Everything’s uncertain, love’s still resounding
Because after the storm, who knows where the clouds go?
Better take care of your fam if you found yours

[Chorus: Dr Koul]
Legacy of the struggle from those that came before
Always stronger together you best remain assured
Keep your head in the game if you gonna make it through
Raise your voice so they stay the course

[Outro: Dr Koul with saxophone solo by Léon Phal]
Each step
Takes us one step
Further upstream
Until we reach the
Surface
Each step
Takes us one step
Further upstream
Until we reach the
Surface
Each step
Takes us one step
Further upstream
Until we reach the
Surface
Each step
Takes us one step
Further upstream
Until we reach the
Surface
