Legend

Lyrics

John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janice Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix
 When I die, I just wanna be a legend
 White roses on my headstone and my name in golden carets 'cause uh
 When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
 John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janice Jolin, Jimmy Hendrix
 When I die, I just wanna be a legend
 White roses on my headstone and my name in golden carets 'cause uh
 When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
 I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend, gonna live past twenty-seven
 With them gates up from my house so pearly white you'll think it's heaven
 Still rockin' clothes lookin' ratchet like I don't give a shit
 'Cause once upon a time I scrounged for that slick eighty cents
 And I cherished the times I counted the nickels to feed my stomach
 Then my family made me hungry 'cause I hated the strugglin'
 I quit my job in construction that took a huge leap of faith
 And now they know the dude that's rappin' with that gap in his face (Upchuch!)
 John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janice Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix
 When I die, I just wanna be a legend
 White roses on my headstone and my name in golden carets 'cause uh
 When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
 And when I'm gone my fuckin' jams will still be jammin'
 And all my fans will still be out here tearin' shit up raisin' hell and yellin'
 Let my sound waves live a thousand years, I'll still jam as a skeleton 'cause
 When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
 And I ain't used to this life, but hell I'm willin' to take it
 If I'm gonna be famous then I guess I'm makin' statements
 'Cause there was times my transportation was these boots on the pavement
 And now I'm ridin' in dooly's dipped in that pearlescent paint
 For years before my billboard charts my mama kept me believin'
 I told her I'd fight for success until my damn stopped the beatin'
 From now the business choppers sit on how these populous treat me
 Still Johnny Cash with middle fingers sayin' fuck a celebrity
 John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janice Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix
 When I die, I just wanna be a legend
 White roses on my headstone and my name in golden carets 'cause uh
 When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
 And when I'm gone my fuckin' jams will still be jammin'
 And all my fans will still be out here tearin' shit up raisin' hell and yellin'
 Let my sound waves live a thousand years, I'll still jam as a skeleton 'cause
 When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
 Small town, shine sippin', tailgate opened when the beat drop
 Churchman-level high. All my haters need binoculars
 Because I was a nobody now I'm the beast of the pines
 I got a fifty from duplexes, now I got shooters on dimes
 I'm just too barely walkin', tiptoein' through all of these snakes
 But stayin' humble to my people I'm the king of the stix
 And I live up under a bridge before I go sell my soul
 You know I'm goin' for gold, the best story that's ever told
 John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janice Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix
 When I die, I just wanna be a legend
 White roses on my headstone and my name in golden carets 'cause uh
 When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
 And when I'm gone my fuckin' jams will still be jammin'
 And all my fans will still be out here tearin' shit up raisin' hell and yellin'
 Let my sound waves live a thousand years, I'll still jam as a skeleton 'cause
 When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
 When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
 When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
 When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
 When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
