[Intro]
This one goes out Pro SJK
She said it better be good. I hope it is
Songs called legacies
I'm gonna tell y'all a little bit about Achilles and his path through the Iliad
[Verse 1]
Surrounded every morning with women, money, and power
Cities fall in matters of minutes, guess I'm the man of the hour
On the battlefield its like comparing huts to towers
I've made men three times my size, drop to their knees and cower
But then here comes the Trojans, with their all mighty Hector
With Paris the betrayer, and Hellen the defector
Now suddenly its war before I even get out of bed
Agamemnon, what the hell is going through your head?
You know without me and my guys your troops are just as good as dead
You should've tried to make a deal and avoided the fight instead
But you tried to steal what's mine and look at where that got you, praying to the gods who, want to see you die too
Its been too long gotta pay a trip to mother
Her wisdom will always uncover, the truth I need to discover
And what she said I know I'll never dismiss
If I remember one thing, I'll always remember this
She said, “Son, there's many things that I could just say
Thing to shape your coming future, make you co-operate
But the decisions up to you will you step up to the plate
Either live and be good, or you can die and be great!”
[Chorus]
I'm out for legacies to represent me. I'm out for legacies to represent me. I'm out for legacies to represent me. I'm out for every damn legacy to represent me
[Verse 2]
Damn, why would I fight, for something I don't believe in
There ain't a point, I don't even have a reason
As I think, a soldier comes to my tent, and says “Sir its Patroclus and we don't know where he went! He took your armor and we think he joined his fellow men, but he battled with Hector and the boy couldn't win.”
As sharp as a dagger his words pierced through my heart
And one by one, every piece was falling apart
And I cried and I cried, and he fought and he died
And now I'm still alive, with a fire inside
It's time for Hector, the Trojans, every single one
To feel the wrath of the sea nymph and great king's son
And you can pray to the moon and you can pray to the sun
But I won't stop till I'm done and the battle is won
[Verse 3]
Swords clashed, shields bashed, arrows were shot
Spears were thrown, dust to stone, we battled nonstop
But I was playing with my food until I decided to win
And in one decisive moment, the battle did end
I took Hektors precious body, tied the rope around him, then I stared at his King, and did laps around them
But in the cover of night, could you believe this crippled King
He snuck off with a plight, and entered my camps regime
He begged and wept for his son, wanted his body back
In this war we've both lost, but I will give him a pa**
The next day Troy fell, what a great sight to see
But I also fell in love, how foolish of me
Love makes you do unimaginable, impossible things
That's why I'm laying on the gra** while my blood is draining
But just remember my name, because my legacy reigns
I'm out for legacies to represent me. I'm out for legacies to represent me. I'm out for legacies to represent me. I'm out for every damn legacy to represent me
