Lyrics
What’s the legacy? Break the generational gap,
Feeling old before my time, validation in that,
Take the patience of a young man, set to fail,
In the quest for nothing less, than the alpha male,
Tails of infidelity break out of the shade,
They linger on the page, trust a feeling that stays,
Forever is a long time, counting them days,
Steady spinning the truth, like Eddie Bernays,
And I can tell that everything be getting harder to find,
No money in your pocket when your credits declined,
You want to win like these gentlemen, wearing them suits?
You better come to the jungle and be bearing some fruits,
Cause I don’t have a chip on my shoulder to grip on,
As long as I have desire, I can Freudian slip on,
The ruler with the rebels in toe,
Just letting you know, I’m right there wherever you go
Behind the disguise there’s nothing at all
Do you feel like you’ve been losing control
There’s nowhere to hide when you’re on your own
Can’t you see that you got nothing to show
No apologies so let me echo it loud,
Ironic that you stand on your own, to garner a crowd,
I’m on the next level, and all opinions are flushed,
Cause I came from the outside, like I’m part of the crust,
I’m gallus as fuck, for anybody taking a swing,
Or having a pop, so tell me when the penny gonna drop?
By myself like the picture was cropped,
And I can feel I’m in the moment, I ain’t trying to be stopped,
But there’s more than a few reasons to be feeling appalled,
I don’t deliver my opinion from the back of the hall,
Look at the trouble I bring, I never varnish a thing
No point in being a fighter if you’re scared of the ring,
A stone throws not a terrible thing,
But living in a glass house, you ain’t fit to be king
The crown ruler got the rebels in toe,
Just letting you know, I’m right there wherever you go
Behind the disguise theres nothing at all
Do you feel like you’ve been losing control
There’s nowhere to hide when you’re on your own
Can’t you see that you got nothing to show
From the moment you feel defeated
And you see yourself letting go
When the same mistakes keep repeating
Take control
What’s the legacy? Break the generational gap,
Feeling old before my time, validation in that,
Take the patience of a young man, set to fail,
In the quest for nothing less, than the alpha male,
Behind the disguise theres nothing at all
Do you feel like you’ve been losing control
There’s nowhere to hide when you’re on your own
Can’t you see that you got nothing to show
From the moment you feel defeated
And you see yourself letting go
When the same mistakes keep repeating
Take control
Feeling old before my time, validation in that,
Take the patience of a young man, set to fail,
In the quest for nothing less, than the alpha male,
Tails of infidelity break out of the shade,
They linger on the page, trust a feeling that stays,
Forever is a long time, counting them days,
Steady spinning the truth, like Eddie Bernays,
And I can tell that everything be getting harder to find,
No money in your pocket when your credits declined,

As long as I have desire, I can Freudian slip on,

Just letting you know, I’m right there wherever you go
