Legacy

A loose cannon I might be

Standing before a crowd of envy

Trust my words, you don't want to be me

Every ounce of wisdom derives from harsh reality

Living the cold war while you slept at home

No family support, not even by phone

Every ounce of love, coming from a stranger

Never quite knowing if it was love or just danger

Protected by God whom you say not to trust

Indecent proposals of man, who merely lust

Trash talked by friends, once close to me

Pushed around for not being a product of society

Hurt by their actions, staying true to myself

Their insults motivate me, regardless of health

I'm not afraid to die for what I believe

Too deep for some of you to ever conceive

I can accept it, you have your own claims

Just you remember that when your world rains

Don't come back to me, crying your tears

I've already tried to help you over the years

You lied and rejected me, calling me crazy

You discounted my worth, now watch me amaze thee

Already rich in ways you just don't know

I don't need your economical flow

I can get by with faith and my dream

Don't need you to tell me what all of it means

I know what I stand in my place for

I won't become victim of an unfit war

So go about yours, with your negativity

Do me a favor, don't extend that to me

Keep flames of hell to yourself and your friends

For I stand too strong and will fight to the end

This lil lady is the only queen of me

Never bow down to wrongful society

Never give up, never give in

Because in the end, through God I'll win

So challenge me today, try again tomorrow

You only bring upon your own sorrow

Talk me down some more, sweet jealousy

Watch me achieve a free Hawai'i

Alone I am not, for I have God and my crew

Maybe not as skilled as you

But blessed I am and blessed I'll be

While you burn in hell, I live eternally.
