Legacy

if today was my last day,
and tomorrow u had 2 say,
a few words 2 sum up,
this crazy life of mine,

would u speak kindly,
would u be matter of fact,
would u be able 2 speak loudly,
would u be proud of me?

oh, i know it's sometimes hard 2 love me,
u gotta know it's even harder sometimes 4 me 2 love myself,
the things i've seen, the pain i've felt,
the walls i build, my trip thru hell,

what will u say of my legacy?
did i leave things with an accurate picture of me?
was i as true as i said i was,
was i all u needed me 2 be,

if today was my last day,
2morrow, what would u say of me?
could u stand up, in a crowd of people,
and tell my story and say my name with love,

would u leave anything out,
what would u talk about,
did i do... the best i can,
was i a good man?

did i take my daddy's last name,
and make it solid?
did i teach my children 2 keep it the same?
do ya think i'll go down below or up above?
did i try hard enough? or did i live in vain?

oh, i know it's sometimes hard 2 love me,
u gotta know it's even harder sometimes 4 me 2 love myself,
the things i've seen, the pain i've felt,
the walls i build, my trip thru hell,

what will u say of my legacy?
did i leave things with an accurate picture of me?
was i as true as i said i was,
was i all u needed me 2 be,

if today was my last day,
2morrow, what would u say of me?

would u speak kindly,
would u speak matter of fact,
would u call out those who had my back,
would u tell the ones i loved it'll be okay?
would u give my kids a big ol kiss,
would u tell 'em how much they'll be missed,
would u be proud of me?

oh i know sometimes i made it hard 2 love me,
and u know that it's even harder 4 me 2 love myself,
those walls i built, from all the pain i've felt,
from the things i've seen, my young trip 2 hell,

did i leave an accurate picture of me?
if 2day was my last day...
what would be my.....legacy?
