“Legend”
By: ChanceCold

Intro
I’m tryna be a legend in my own time –
I’m already a legend in my own mind – yeah –

V.1
Tryna be a legend in my own time – struggle’s significant –
Up against the world tryna get people paying attention and –
Tryna make sure they listening – Playing my CD –
Eat Watermelon ALL Day – Anything to Succeed –
What’s it gonna take to make this next line count –
Writer’s block’s foreign to me – still gotta negative account –
Balance – I go savage and let loose on the stage – Do whatever it takes –
Get Em To Know My Name… ChanceCold
See it shining in lights on the marquee –
When I close my eyes – so they tell me it’s just a fantasy –
They tell me it’s a dream, tell me I’m wasting my time –
I tell em I’m doing what I love – it’s gon work this time –
With every freestyle or song I drop – I’m confident –
That it’s gon be a hit, go viral – everyone’s gon be feeling it –
But it ain’t happened yet – They say just give up and quit –
I’m sorry, but I can’t –
Cuz I Was Born To Do This –

Hook:
I’m tryna be a Legend in my own time –
I’m already a legend in my own mind –
And yes I’m gon endure the climb and keep climbing –
(Keep Climbing)
I’m tryna be a Legend in my own time –
I’m already a Legend in my own mind –
And yes, I’m gon endure the climb and keep climbing –
No Matter The Climate –

V.2
The hunger drives me to push through the storms and darkness –
Cuz even the heartless have heart when they starving –
I’m convinced it’s been carved in my soul and my spirit –
Think I’m lying to myself if I act like I don’t want riches –
Or my name in the limelight – how’s it feel to be a legend?
How’s it feel to be recognized for the blood, sweat, and tears that –
I’ve poured out, all the sacrifices – is it all a waste?
Try not to believe it – sometimes it seems that way –
Then they tell me I’m out of line cuz I want so bad to make it –
Tell me I’m chasing the wind, tell me I’ll never obtain it –
I ain’t hearing it – it’s all Charlie Brown Teacher Talkin –
Cuz I’m destined for greatness – I’m destined to be a legend –
See the hatred’s inevitable – Avoiding it’s impossible –
Ignoring it is plausible –
Some problems never solve –
And I ain’t saying they all solvable
Just being real, this here’s unstoppable –
And I could care less if I get applause from y’all –

V.3
Tryna be a legend in my own time – my mind’s on paper –
Rhyme after Rnyme – Line after line and I savor –
Every moment behind microphones – will they remember me?
This is all I know and all I got – with five felonies –
It’s hard to get a job that’s gon pay all of the bills –
And feed my four kids – so I tell em all how I feel –
Transparency’s important to me – tryna keep it real –
Patiently waiting for the day when I sign a record deal –
Dealing with the stress and being broke, sometimes I can’t cope –
So I turn to my Jetstream ink pen, it’s my dope –
It’s my psychiatrist that helps me overcome being depressed –
Without these words and songs, the pistol’d be pressed to my chest –
Are they ready for this magnitude and lyric capacity –
Specially with all this garbage, Simple Simon rapping –
I don’t know, I hope they are – I pray they hear me one day –
Even if they never do, I’ll still rap till my dying day –
