Gone but never forgotten
This song is for the true legends
That paved the way
Made a way
Sacrificed
I feel like I'm using the pen of Alex Hailey
He taught many with his words
And I want the same when you play me
Things are crazy
But I'm staying strong like Malcolm
And if they X me out I stood tall against the outcome
And how come
It's ok to go overseas
And fight for the home of the free
But the same home of the free
Don't want us home and free
And think nigger every time they see me
Word to M. Ali so I bob and weave
And I never retreat
On what I believe our leaders gave
So we could receive
And we could be more than our oppressors perceived
You see they wanted us in a rut treated us like a mutt
Even George Washington Carver knew it was nuts
But to the past leaders yall are truly a blessing
Sacrificed a lot
And forever are legends I'm saying
Rip legends never die
Yesterday we were still together
I'm sending a prayer up to heaven
And I'm saying rip legends never die
Part of our memory forever and ever
Because legends never die
I don't know where we would be without Dr. King
Even now people still hating on his dream
Maya Angelou, Rosa Parks
Marcus Garvey, Ava Day
Aaron Douglas, and William Carney
Wouldn't want us running around
With a army only killing ourselves
At a rate that's alarming I mean did our ancestors bleed for nothing
Who gone lead the discussion
Who gone be the next Tubman
Lead the modern slaves
Breaking em out of chains
Huey Newton was aware this wasn't a game
When the world calling you everything but your name
Under your black skin there lies eternal flame
Together we could fly like the airmen of Tuskegee
Fly so high we are past where birds reaching
We gotta thank the legends who emerged from the scuffle
The marathon continues
Rest in peace Nipsey Hussle I'm saying
Rip legends never die
Yesterday we were still together
I'm sending a prayer up to heaven
And I'm saying rip legends never die
Part of our memory forever and ever
Because legends never die
Your bodies gone but your soul's in the sky
What you did will live on and never die
You are the sun when the clouds start to cry
You showed us what we can do if we try
Your bodies gone but your soul's in the sky
What you did will live on and never die
You are the sun when the clouds start to cry
You showed us what we can do if we try
Rip legends never die
Yesterday we were still together
I'm sending a prayer up to heaven
And I'm saying rip legends never die
Part of our memory forever and ever
Because legends never die
Because legends never die
