Legacy lyrics - Eminem

Tell me where to go, tell me what to do

I'll be right there for you

Tell me what to say, no matter if it's true

I'll say it all for you

[Verse 1:]

I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky is falling

Why am I so differently wired? Am I a martian?

What kind of twisted experiment am I involved in

Because I don't belong in this world

That’s why I'm scoffing at authority, defying often

Flying off at the handle with my mom, no dad

So I’m non complying at home, at school I’m just shy and awkward

And no I don’t need no goddamn psychologist

Trynna diagnose why I have all these underlying problems

Thinking he can try and solve them

I’m outside chalking up drawings on the sidewalk

And in the front drive talking to myself

Either that or inside hiding often to going somewhere quiet

Trying not to be noticed because I'm crying and sobbing

I had a bad day at school so I ain't talking

Some cocksucker shoved me into a fucking locker

And he said that I eyeballed him

And if you fall, I'll get you there

I'll be your savior from

All the wars that are fought

Inside your world

Please have faith in my words

Cause this is my legacy, legacy, here

This is my legacy, legacy, here

There’s no guarantee, it’s not up to me, you can only see

This is my legacy, legacy

Legacy, legacy

[Verse 2:]

I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky is falling

Why am I so differently wired in my nogging?

'Cuz sporadic as my thoughts come, it's mind boggling

'Cuz I obsess on everything and my mind is small shit

Bothers me but now my father, he said Sayonara and then split

But I don’t give a shit I'm fine as long as

There's batteries in my Walkman nothing is the matter with me

Shit look at the bright side at least I ain’t walking

I bike ride through the neighborhood of my apartment

Complex on a ten speed which I've acquired parts that I

Found in the garbage, a frame and put tires on it

Headphones on, straight ahead and kids tryin to start shit

But if this is all there is for me life offers

Why bother even try and put up a fight, it's nonsense

But I think a light bulb just lit up in my conscience

What about those rhymes I've been jottin'

They are kinda giving me confidence

Instead of tryina escape through my comics,

Why don't I just blast a little something like Onyx

To put me in the mood to wanna fight and write songs that

Say what I wanna say to the kid that said that I eyeballed him

Grab hold of my balls like that's right fight's on bitch

Who would've knew from the moment I turned the mic on

I could be iconic, and my conquest is

Is word to Phife Dawg from a Tribe Called Quest

This is my legacy, legacy, here

This is my legacy, legacy, here

There’s no guarantee, it’s not up to me, you can only see

This is my legacy, legacy

Legacy, legacy

[Verse 3:]

I used to be the type of kid that would always think the sky is falling

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 this and connect lines like crosswords

And use my enemy's words as strength

To try and draw from, and get inspired off em

Cause all my life I was told and taught I am not shit

By you wack fucking giant sacks of lying dog shit

Now you shut up bitch, I am talking

Thought I was full of horseshit and now

You fucking worship the ground in which I am walking

Me against the world so what? I'm Brian Dawkins

Versus the whole 0 and 16 Lions offense

So bring on the Giants Falcons and Miami Dolphins

It's the body bag game bitch I'm supplying coffins

Cause you dicks, butt kiss, a bunch of Brian Baldingers

You gon die a ball licker I've been diabolical

With this dialogue since 99 Rawkus

You don't respect the legacy I leave behind y'all can

Suck a dick, the day you beat me pigs'll fly out my ass

And a flying saucer full of Italian sausage

The most high exalting and I ain't halting

Till I die of exhaustion inhale my exhaust fumes

The best part about me is I am not you

I am me, I'm a fire marshall and this is my

legacy, legacy, here

This is my legacy, legacy, here

There’s no guarantee, it’s not up to me, you can only see

This is my legacy, legacy

Legacy, legacy
