Lyrics
Verse 1
Chrome gleams like a toothy grin
Sipping something that makes my world spin
Lighter flickers then the clouds roll in
I'm the king within this skin
I don't play for the middle ground
Money talk is the only sound
Building empires from the lost and found
Heavy lies the crown when I'm around
Chorus
Legacy living in the booth
Truth on the tongue
Nothing left but the absolute
Everything we did was the proof
Legacy living in the booth
Legacy living in the booth
Verse 2
Staring at the ceiling with a pencil and a pad
Thoughts move faster than the visions I had
Angry at the cycle and it's making me glad
Lines cutting deeper like a scalpel gone mad
Twisting the syllable until the bone breaks
Calculated rhythm is the only thing it takes
Every single morning there are higher stakes
Sifting through the phonies and the flakes
Chorus
Legacy living in the booth
Truth on the tongue
Nothing left but the absolute
Everything we did was the proof
Legacy living in the booth
Legacy living in the booth
Verse 3
Born where the concrete grows up tall
Ready for the rise and ready for the fall
Phone lines ringing with the urgent call
Got my back pressed against the wall
Spread the table with the finest gold
Half the narrative has never been told
Staying warm while the winter gets cold
Fortune favors those who are bold
Chorus
Legacy living in the booth
Truth on the tongue
Nothing left but the absolute
Everything we did was the proof
Legacy living in the booth
Legacy living in the booth
Verse 4
Thug life etched on the empty soul
Losing my mind but I'm taking control
Watching as the ocean starts to roll
Paying out the heavy life toll
Pour out liquor for the ones we missed
Clenching my hand into a bloody fist
Only the believers can ever exist
Put my name on the final list
Chorus
Legacy living in the booth
Truth on the tongue
Nothing left but the absolute
Everything we did was the proof
Legacy living in the booth
Legacy living in the booth
