Artist: Dan-e-o f/ Ian Kamau Album: Dilla Pickles Song: Legacy Typed by: Nickolye16@aol.com [Chorus: Dan-e-o] While I'm here let me shine my light To discover all the love in sight As long as I'm blessed to speak I'll be workin on my legacy Cause I don't wanna live my life And leave nothin left behind So while the Lord lets me breathe I'm workin on my legacy [Dan-e-o] Yo, just finished watchin Michael Jackson's memorial Unimaginably impactful and historical Heaven's oracle, taught that the world can be horrible But he implored you to find the divine from the deplorable How did you make an aberration adorable? How did you steer off infection when killer bees were swarmin you? How do I ensure the impossible is affordable? How do I make a change cause my voice is recordable? Mike, I thought of you when I was writin this verse To fight off the curse, the opposite of what you'd find worse As you ride in that hearse, may I convey what pride I have burst It finally works, I realize I shine on this Earth While you were a strong stomper I was just a meek creeper But MLK said be proud if you a street sweeper And Al Sharpton ruffled and woke up the deep sleepers and told your kids it's strange the world fought a peace keeper You know what I find strange? I find it strange that you're gone You know what I find wrong? To write your name in this song in the past tense, it's strange I'm remainin this strong Cause since I was born, the top is where your reign has belonged I cried today, but Michael Jackson I'm alive to say with platinum and diamonds you've paved and aligned the way for me to see my future's filled with many brighter days And I'm here to leave a legacy behind to stay [Chorus] [Ian Kamau] Uhh, yeah... I am basking in the light of a single star, skin blacker than the night Walking on the moon, one small step I'll be leaping soon, we all get confused, down forever, a child and it's true I'm a lost boy too but not as lost as you In dreams, I realize reality is living on a Earth with a fallacy, move Galaxies made like molecules built And who is that peeking in my window sill? There's a light in the night that we can't see And darkness feels a lot like me I'm so free, midnight marauder with a hood over head Trying to escape words I should not have said I hope they don't notice I keep the world in focus - breathe [Chorus] [Outro: Ian Kamau] Yeah, ah, haha Yes~! Uh, yeah And we still moonwalkin {*echoes*}
