Legacy (Explicit) - Jay-Z

Written by：Shawn Carter/Dion Wilson/Donny Hathaway/E. Howard

Daddy what's a will

Day someday someday we'll all

Someday we'll all be free

Take those moneys and spread 'cross families

My sisters Hadi and Lou the nephews cousins and TiTi

Eric the rest can be for whatever she wants to do

She might start an institute

She might put poor kids through school

My stake in Roc Nation should go to you

Leave a piece for your siblings to give to their children too

Tidal the champagne D'USSÉ I'd like to see

A nice peace-fund ideas from people who look like we

We gon' start a society within a society

That's major just like the negro league

There was a time America wouldn't let us ball

Those times are now back just now called afro-tech

Generational wealth that's the key

My parents ain't have shit so that ship started with me

My mom took her money she bought me bonds

That was the sweetest thing of all time uh

Legacy legacy legacy legacy

Black excellence baby you gon' let 'em see

Legacy legacy legacy legacy

Black excellency baby let 'em see

I've been listening to Wu-Tang and niggas like

Your seed married his seed married my seed

That's how we keep Carter money all in the family

You see my father son of a preacher man

Whose daughter couldn't escape the reach

Of the preacher's hand

That charge of energy set all the Carters back

It took all these years to get to zero in fact

I hated religion 'cause here was this Christian

He was preaching Sundays versus how he was living monday

Someday I forgive him 'cause strangely our division led to

Muslim Buddhist and Christians I studied

Muslim Buddhist and Christians and

I was running from him he was giving me wisdom

See how the universe works

It takes my hurt and help me find more of myself

It's a gift and a curse

That's called the red queens race

You run this hard just to stay in place

Keep up the pace baby

Keep up the pace

You run this hard just to stay in place

Legacy legacy legacy legacy

Black excellence you gon' let 'em see

Legacy legacy legacy legacy

Black excellence baby let 'em see

Day someday someday we'll all

Someday we'll all be free
