 Struggling with LEGACY? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

So when I’m in pain, I bleed
It hurts to cry
But I see the better days
Towards a brand new life for my legacy
My legacy
There’s hope for my legacy
My legacy
When I started in this game, no one gave me respect
Just a pat on the back, “Good luck, I wish you the best”
“I didn’t think I’d go far” is something that I’d confess
I was depressed, couldn’t get all these thoughts out of my chest
Never used cologne, but I had the white scent
They knew I never struggled in my life is what I meant
They thought, “An Asian doing rap? He ain’t making sense”
Until this song came on, and I stood up from the bench
Picture this in your mind, and we gon’ turn back the time
I wasn’t gonna commit to college but suicide
Back when everyone ran but instead I fell behind
Back when the pressure clamped on my chest, so I wish I died
My eyes weren’t red from the high, but because I cried
Friends would ask if I was alright but instead I lied
“To see the top, you must fall to the bottom”, said a Lyon
I wished that people saw value inside me like a diamond
So when I’m in pain, I bleed
It hurts to cry
But I see the better days
Towards a brand new life for my legacy
My legacy
There’s hope for my legacy
My legacy
Will anybody remember me if I’m gone?
Or am I gonna be labelled another lost cause?
Will I ever get the chance to show off what I got?
Or am I gonna waste my life until my heart stops?
Despite all the suffering, I did do a lot
Worked on building my music and I around the clock
I always took the small steps like I’m skipping some rocks
Now I’m 'boutta make sure I got this game on lock
Everybody wanna tell me that I’m gonna make it
They tell me to remember faces when I’m almost famous
They tell me that I’m going places, that I’m steady pacin’
But half the faces don’t even remember what my name is
I don’t need no affirmation ‘cause I’m motivated
I’m married to the music, we already did the dating
Ain’t doing copy and pasting ‘cause that shit makes me basic
Face it, I’ma grow to be the illest, it’ll be contagious
So when I’m in pain, I bleed
It hurts to cry
But I see the better days
Towards a brand new life for my legacy
My legacy
There’s hope for my legacy (Listen)
My legacy
Took a break from the MONSTER, but that’s where I began
Now I’m in album two, and I’m feeling like a champ
Throw my tag on every beat, so you know it’s my stamp
I don’t care if I come in first ‘cause it never lasts
I could bask in my glory and feel like I’m the man
But inside, I’m still the kid who forgot how to laugh
Ask the broken mirror if she remembers my past
She uses the shards to remind me of my scar tats
My reflection to me is another lesson
And I don’t need no protection from this mental recession
I had a blessing from my family, I got no confessions
Mind is full of retention, and depression felt like detention
No, I ain’t resting this session ‘cause life will always be testing
My legacy has been set in, it paints a beautiful setting
Won’t get an honorable mention, I hold myself in suspension
Surrender evil intentions, I hope you all heard my message
So when I’m in pain, I bleed
It hurts to cry
But I see the better days
Towards a brand new life for my legacy
My legacy
There’s hope for my legacy
My legacy
