“Legend” is the 4th track by South Florida artist, Ely. Linking up with Memphis-native rapper, Bossa, they create an anthem that centers around the theme of not getting the love and respect they deserve, until it’s too late.
[Intro: Ely]
Yeah (yeah)
[Chorus: Ely]
Don’t call me a legend when I’m gone
If you don’t love me move on
I noticed
You ain’t ever showed it
Ay
I see the fake and it feels wrong
Talk down but we heard it all along
I noticed
You ain’t ever showed it
[Verse 1: Bossa]
They sleep when you awake
But love you when you dead and gone
I knew all along
Don’t trust em far as you can throw em
I made it through the storm
Pouring but I stayed dry
Filling up the safe now
Got bank now
She swear she love me
But she can’t say why
Don’t call me when I’m up my nigga
Cause I remember very well
Where the fuck was you
Last time I checked
My mama made my bail
All I ask of you my nigga is just keep it real
All I ask of you my nigga is just keep it real
I got trials and tribulations I been facing
On the daily, drove me crazy
But I still seem to talk about it
Everytime they send me beats
I put the white chalk around it
You ain’t gotta ask, dawg you know I’m solid
[Chorus: Ely]
Don’t call me a legend when I’m gone
If you don’t love me move on
I noticed
You ain’t ever showed it
Ay
I see the fake and it feels wrong
Talk down but we heard it all along
I noticed
You ain’t ever showed it
[Verse 2: Bossa]
Lost some brothers, that’s a man down
I just wanted support not a hand out
I can’t hold a grudge if they don’t see me
Just leave me alone if you left me when I was dreaming
This my hour, lose myself in power
Now I pray this lime light never turn me sour
I won’t swear to god, you swear to me
I won’t bear no arms unless you bare ya teeth
Please just be prepared to meet
Nothing is owed to me but I payed dues
Still feel like I got things I need to prove
Still feel like I got things I need to prove
[Chorus: Ely]
Don’t call me a legend when I’m gone
If you don’t love me move on
I noticed
You ain’t ever showed it
Ay
I see the fake and it feels wrong
Talk down but we heard it all along
I noticed
You ain’t ever showed it
