Drake – Legend Lyrics

When I pull up on a nigga
Tell that nigga back back
I’m too good with these words
Watch a nigga backtrack¹
If I die, all I know is I’m a motherfucking legend²
It’s too late for my city
I’m the youngest nigga rapping³

Oh my God, oh my God
If I die, I’m a legend
Oh my God, oh my God
If I die, I’m a legend⁴

I’m up first, I’m on tour⁵
Got a girl, she from the South
Used to work, used to dance in Texas
Now she clean the house⁶
Everyday, I was strugglin’ to learn what life’s about
On my way, money taught me Spanish⁷
Make it Andale
Way up north, packed in Honda cars
They don’t know who we are
Fuck em all, they only pussy niggas shooting at the star⁸
Right or wrong, I’ma write my wrongs
They can’t live this long⁹
You don’t know where you’re gonna go
I got this shit mapped out strong¹⁰

When I pull up on a nigga
Tell that nigga back back
I’m too good with these words
Watch a nigga backtrack
All I know, if I die, I’m a motherfucking legend
It’s too late for my city
I’m the youngest nigga rapping

Oh my God, oh my God
If I die, I’m a legend
Oh my God, oh my God
If I die, I’m a legend

I’m the one, one
Why do I feel like the only one?
Why do I feel like you owe me one?¹¹
6 G-O-D I’m the holy one¹²
Yeah, you know what’s up
They been off for a minute now
You know they all sentimental now
You know they all actin’ different now
And I, I just can’t pretend¹³
Seen too much, it’s so hard for me to let new people in
I can’t change, this shit set in stone¹⁴
They can’t live this long
You don’t know where you’re gonna go
I got this shit mapped out strong

When I pull up on a nigga
Tell that nigga back back
I’m too good with these words
Watch a nigga backtrack
All I know, if i die, I’m a motherfucking legend
It’s too late for my city
I’m the youngest nigga rapping

Oh my God, oh my God
If I die, I’m a legend
Oh my God, oh my God
If I die, I’m a legend

I’m the one…¹⁵
