Verse 1:
Alright check it, you know it didn’t start with us
Legacy in the making, futures looking up
Past leaders paved the path, now we can run
Youthful feet on the ground, singing change gon come
Bringing, our own truth, our own hype
Repping our communities in the best light
Black excellence, you know it's more than a brand
Remember those who crawled so that we could stand
Chorus:
Our time is now
Stand up be proud
We've worked too hard to fail
(This is our Legacy)
The work we've done has just begun
Nothing can stop us now
This is our Legacy
Verse 2:
Legacy we now know WHO we are
What the text book taught us was wrong by far
they say you can't win if you don't believe
My eyes have been opened, we can succeed
We as people are stronger as one
Creating real future for the next generation
Young woman you are more than a fat ass
And young men you are more than a hashtag
They tried to break us
But we beat them at their own game
Work for yourself
That's the only true rise to fame
And when they laugh
It's their fear showing in pain
You come from greatness
They'll remember your name
Verse 3:
Each person in this room is original
Limitless imagination non conditional
There's a new world coming
Where the leaders look like me
And my brothers won't be shot and killed by the police
In this new world the status quo’s got to go
And Listen Evolve Gather Act Create Yuse the motto
We've showed you black utopia is possible
Now it's time for you to make it real, unstoppable
So stick out your hands and take what's yours
It's closer than you think, I got a few more bars
Stand up in your truth, we’ve all showed you how
Cause the future's not for later, the future is now
