Legacy Lyrics


J. Cole Legacy

[Intro]
Rollin' around, hit the town, cars on our way to the stop
Cancel the bottle, we should've found a way to make all of this stop
Intoxicated, I never [?] infatuated
And I know deep down that they everything I'm not

[Verse 1]
I know you got a lot of demons, cloggin' up your past
I can do some cleanin' up for you, but I know we won't last
Pass the Winter time, 'cause Summer's comin', and a nigga tryin' to hit a dime or two
But come next Fall, I'm findin' you and we can do it all again
My niggas call it legacy
I fear that the best days I've had are not ahead of me
And 'cause of that I'm searchin' for the one that got away from me
So busy looking back that I can't see what God has made for mе

[Chorus]
And I be texting you, texting you
I'm tryna find thе one who got away from me
Yeah, I'm still texting you, texting you (Hey)
I'm tryna find the one who got away

[Verse 2]
Commitment issues, I can't even decide what's for dinner
Pardon these selfish flows, I needed Yelp for hoes
I need to read reviews, 'cause some of the evil I see you do is unbelievable
Menopause shit, inconceivable
Tennis ball shit, 'causin' that racket outside my momma house
What's it all about?
Guess it's a thin line between love and hate
The love we make is temporary, like this lovely place I'm livin' in
Wait, that's contemporary, nevermind I'm trippin-in'
But then again, it's hard to settle in this modern era
We could be as tight as that dress you barely fittin' in
But my fear of missin' out has got me on a trip again
Right up to that A-Town, that A-Town
Tour bus, no Greyhound
My lust is profound, your trust, just pray sound
Your heart don't glue back, quite right
My heart is too black, like white flight
That push them people to the suburbs
Now they want they city back
So they raised the rent and the property tax
Why I feel like in a few years I'll relate to that?
Knowin' that I let you go and regrettin' that fact
'Cause I done spent so long playin' games and holdin' back
For givin' all of me, too scared that I won't get it back
And yes, I'm well aware I rhymed the word "Back" with "Back"
'Cause that's exactly the direction that I'm tired of lookin' at
And that's why I be-

[Chorus]
Texting you, texting you
I'm tryna find the one who got away from me
Texting you, texting you (Hey)
I'm tryna find the one who got away (Yeah)

[Verse 3]
Rollin' around, hit the town, cars on our way to the stop
Cancel the bottle, we should've found a way to make all of this stop
Intoxicated, I never [?] infatuated
And I know deep down that they everything I'm not
And I'm still texting you, texting you
And I be texting you, texting you
Call me when you wanna fly, yeah-yeah-yeah
Tell you all the reasons why, yeah-yeah-yeah
Youngins turnin' old, yeah-yeah-yeah
Summer's turnin' into snow, yeah-yeah-yeah
Memories and lullabys, yeah-yeah-yeah
Floatin' in the lonely sky, yeah-yeah-yeah
When the weather's gettin' cold, yeah-yeah-yeah
You're the one I wanna hold, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Even back then, we knew what road to choose
It's been so much time and there's that much more to lose
Even back then, we knew what road to choose
It's been so much time and there's that much more to lose
