Legends Don't Die

[Verse 1]

They say, "Legends don't die", that means I'm due to live forever

And it costs to be the boss, you can't be scared to put your bread up

Can't be scared to take a risk or two, or go and take a trip or two

It's you that's gotta make it happen, no one's gonna give it you

No one owes you shit, so if they give you suttin, be grateful

And don't rely on no one, cah when they let you down, it's painful

Money, friends and women all got couple things in common

One, they cause you loads of problems, two or three of them ain't faithful

And if you'rе a good one, you better ridе with one

Cah this is Newham where the good ones keep on dying young

Where most the mandem don't know how to fight

That's why they're buying guns

Ain't no one tryna fight, we'd rather put a knife in ya

You've heard 'bout what it's like round here

This shit's been getting treacherous

I made it out the hood but it took longer than expected

'Cause I didn't sell my soul or use no cheat codes just to get here

Plus I never used nobody or I never done no begging

I just went out there and done my thing and never made excuses

Fans tell me, "You're the realest, M, you need to make a movie"

If I do, it'd be like 8 Mile and Get Rich or Die Tryin all in one

And my brother Mazza would have to shoot it

'Cause I keep my business in-house like I'm living with the packs

It's always man that ain't on shit that's always got the biggest mouths

So all you opps that's still alive, you punks have got my kids to thank

'Cause if it wasn't for my kids, I would've already licked you down

You would've already met your maker, that's a fucking fact

I feel the old school Morrisson waking up and coming back

And when I say the old school Morrisson, I don't mean the one that raps

I'm talking 'bout the one that was hanging shotguns out his dusty van

And bun a man, a hundred packs just landed, 'bout to land a hundred more

It's like I fix a hundred problems, I get hit with a hundred more

I survived a hundred wars, death kept knocking at my door

I can't be happy I survived 'cause I got brothers in the floor

I can't be happy that I'm free 'cause I got brothers still in prison

I ain't free until they're free so I can't celebrate my freedom

Was forced to go through Hell and that's what turned us into demons

When deep down, we're decent human beings

Being real got me hated, being alone, it made me stronger

Staying humble kept me hungry, being impatient got me locked up

From I clocked I didn't need no one, that's when I became a problem

Mummy's angel but the ghetto made us monsters

[Chorus]

They say, "Legends don't die", that means I'm due to live forever

Kept it solid, never folded under pressure

I was dealt a bad hand, now I'm tryna make it better

Pray for me, I might be gone until November

'Cause legends don't die, that means I'm due to live forever

Kept it solid, never folded under pressure

Got a face that you'd recognise, a name that you'll remember

Zero L's and zero losses, only lessons

[Verse 2]

They say my words touch their souls when I rap these vocals

I'm just a local lad but I've been trapping global

I don't be posting much on socials 'cause I'm antisocial

I'll be real, ain't tryna get to know you 'less I have to know you

And I ain't tryna leave my house unless I have to

I'm chilling, I ain't tryna be outside unless I have to

And I don't watch the news because it puts me in a bad mood

All the nonsense they be showing us on the TV's to distract you

Before you fix your pockets, fix your head first

We keep our money hidden, we ain't tryna show our net worth

I killed my competition with the cheapest and the best work

I was growing weed so loud in East, they smelled it up in Bedford

I just sit here overthinking till my head hurts

Like I've done enough for them man, now it's time to put myself first

Like tell me what a friend's worth, 'cause if I die today

They'd probably try to fuck my wife and use my funeral to network

Cah they think this life's a cold game, if you're scared of pain then don't play

These demons, they don't go away, it was in my head like Coldplay

They were shooting at me close-range, bullets flying past me

Hitting everything but me, I'm either blessed or they had no aim

I'm known but I've got no mates, under pressure but I won't break

Blowing down a parcel in a car that ain't got no brakes

Don't ask me if I'm okay, we're suffering but we won't say

All this pain, we keep it bottled up like rosé

[Chorus]

They say, "Legends don't die", that means I'm due to live forever

Kept it solid, never folded under pressure

I was dealt a bad hand, now I'm tryna make it better

Pray for me, I might be gone until November

'Cause legends don't die, that means I'm due to live forever

Kept it solid, never folded under pressure

Got a face that you'd recognise, a name that you'll remember

Zero L's and zero losses, only lessons
