Legacy
[Intro: Polina]Tell me where to goTell me what to doI'll be right there for youTell me what to sayNo matter if it's trueI'll say it all for you
[Verse 1: Eminem]I used to be the type of kidThat would always think the sky is fallin'Why am I so differently wired? Am I a martian?What kind of twisted experiment am I involved in?‘Cause I don't belong in this worldThat's why I'm scoffin' at authority, defiant oftenFlyin' off at the handle at my momNo dad, so I am noncompliant at homeAt school I'm just shy and awkwardAnd I don't need no goddamn psychologistTryin' to diagnose why I have all these underlying problemsThinking he can try and solve 'emI'm outside chalking up drawingsOn the sidewalk and in the front driveTalking to myself, either that or inside hiding off inThe corner somewhere quiet, tryin' not toBe noticed ‘cause I'm crying and sobbin'I had a bad day at school, so I ain't talkin'Some cocksucker shoved me into a fucking locker‘Cause he said that I eye-balled him
[Pre-Hook: Polina]And if you fall, I'll catch you thereI'll be your savior from all the warsThat are fought inside your worldPlease have faith in my words
[Hook: Polina]‘Cause this is my legacy, legacy, yeahThis is my legacy, legacy, yeahThere's no guaranteeIt's not up to me, we can only seeThis is my legacy, legacy, legacy, legacy
[Verse 2: Eminem]I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky's fallin'Why am I so differently wired in my noggin?‘Cause sporadic as my thoughts come, it's mind-bogglin'‘Cause I obsess on everything in my mind, small shitBothers me, but not my father, he said sayonaraThen split, but I don’t give a shitI'm fine long as there's batteries in my WalkmanNothing is the matter with meShit, look on the bright side, at least I ain't walkin'I bike ride through the neighborhood of my apartmentComplex on a ten-speed which I've acquired parts thatI find in the garbage, a frame, then put tires on itHeadphones on, look straight ahead if kids try and start shitBut if this is all there is for me, life offersWhy bother even tryin' to put up a fight? It's nonsenseBut I think a light bulb just lit up in my conscienceWhat about them rhymes I've been jottin'?They are kind of giving me confidenceInstead of tryin' to escape through my comicsWhy don't I just blast a little something like Onyx?To put me in the mood to wanna fight and write songs thatSay what I want to say to the kid that said that I eye-balled himGrab hold of my balls, like, "That's right, fight's on, bitch!"Who would've knew, from the moment I turned the mic on, thatI could be iconic in my conquest?That's word to Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest
[Hook: Polina]This is my legacy, legacy, yeahThis is my legacy, legacy, yeahThere's no guaranteeIt's not up to me, we can only seeThis is my legacy, legacy, legacy, legacy
[Verse 3: Eminem]I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky's fallin'Now I think the fact that I'm differently wired's awesome‘Cause if I wasn't, I wouldn't be able to work words like thisAnd connect lines, like crosswordsAnd use my enemy's words as strengthTo try and draw from, and get inspired off 'em‘Cause all my life I was told and taught I am not shitBy you wack fucking giant sacks of lying dog shitNow you shut up, bitch, I am talkin'Thought I was full of horseshitAnd now you fucking worship the ground on which I am walkin'Me against the world, so what? I'm Brian DawkinsVersus the whole 0-16 Lions offenseSo bring on the Giants, Falcons, and Miami DolphinsIt's the body bag game, bitch, I'm supplyin' coffins‘Cause you dicks butt kiss, bunch of Brian BaldingersYou're gon' die a ball licker, I've been diabolicalWith this dialogue since '99 RawkusYou don't respect the legacy I leave behind, y'all canSuck a dick; the day you beat me, pigs'll fly out my assIn a flying saucer full of Italian sausageThe most high exalting and I ain't haltin''Til I die of exhaustion, inhale my exhaust fumesThe best part about me is I am not youI'm me, and I'm the Fire Marshall, and this is my—
