Ski Beatz - Legacies (Dead Presidents II Remix) lyrics
[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
