Lyrics
Back against the wall where you go turn
Facing challenges and difficulties with limited options
They wanna see you crash, wanna see you burn
People want to witness your failure and downfall
But you gotta stay tall, gotta wait your turn
Despite challenges, one must stand strong and be patient
Cause through trials that's where legends emerge
Legends emerge from overcoming trials and hardships
I'ma be legend for life
Expressing determination to become a legendary figure
Get up once they knock you down twice
Resilience in getting up after being knocked down
Never back always fight never flight
Choosing to fight instead of fleeing from challenges
Never easy gotta struggle with might
Acknowledging that success requires a persistent struggle
That's why I'ma be legend for life oh,oh,oh
Reiterating the commitment to be a legend for life
I'ma be legend for life oh,oh,oh
Repeating the determination to be a legend throughout life
I'ma be legend for life oh,oh,oh
-I'ma be legend for life, I said I'ma be legend for life
-I'ma be legend like 23, I'ma be legend like 24
Comparing oneself to legendary figures, Michael Jordan (23) and Kobe Bryant (24)
Don't never switch on the team, Stockton Malone gotta pick a role
Stressing the importance of loyalty to the team
Through the struggle that's how legend mold
Legends are shaped through overcoming difficulties
Sorry I ain't hit your phone but truth be told I been on the road
Apologizing for being distant due to a busy lifestyle
Okay, watch me go MJ with the fade
Reference to Michael Jordan's iconic fadeaway shot
Wanna be first pick like Cade
Aspiring to be the first pick in a competition like Cade Cunningham
In south beach got me feeling Wade
Feeling confident and empowered, possibly inspired by Dwyane Wade
They saying fame so stuck in his way
Acknowledging a perception of being set in one's ways
But I wouldn't be me if I ever change
Staying true to oneself despite external opinions
Stayed the same but I'm different
Consistency in character while embracing personal growth
I go Melo with the pivot
Reference to Carmelo Anthony's basketball move with metaphorical significance
Winning that's the only mission
Emphasizing the singular goal of winning
Stay focus, keep growing and stack all these digits
Focusing on goals, continuous growth, and accumulating wealth
All this pain it ain't showing it blend in with the winning
Pain is hidden behind success, blending in with achievements
What's a win without a loss
Reflecting on the inevitability of losses and costs in pursuing success
What's a bill without a cost
-Legend mind take that lesson and move on
Advising to learn from setbacks and move forward with a legendary mindset
Say I'm fine but it hurt all along
Expressing internal struggles despite outward composure
Go back gotta right these wrongs
Acknowledging past mistakes and the need for correction
They go hate no matter if you right or wrong
Expecting criticism whether one is right or wrong
They go laugh when we fall
People will mock when facing challenges
Don't matter we go get up and ball
Resilience and determination to rise after setbacks
I am legend Will, I am legend like Jay
Identifying with legends like Will Smith and Jay-Z
I was born to real, I was born be great
-Back against the wall where you go turn
Reiteration of facing challenges and emerging as a legend
They wanna see you crash, wanna see you burn
-But you gotta stay tall, gotta wait your turn
-Cause through trials that's where legends emerge
-I'ma be legend for life
Repeating the commitment to fight, struggle, and become a legend
Get up once they knock you down twice
-Never back always fight never flight
-Never easy gotta struggle with might
-That's why I'ma be legend for life oh,oh,oh
Final declaration of the determination to be a legend for life
I'ma be legend for life oh,oh,oh
-I'ma be legend for life oh,oh,oh
-I'ma be legend for life, I said I'ma be legend for life
