Legacy

Built around Building something that outlasts you - the importance of legacy over temporary fame. Street Wire's raw, unfiltered production carries the concept through hip-hop that rewards repeat listens. "When the story's written and I'm not around to see" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs reflective, powerful. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.

[verse 1] When the music stops and the lights go dim When the crowds go home and the fame gets thin What remains of the name that you built Is it a castle or a house on stilts I've been thinking about the long game lately Not the next hit, but what defines me greatly When my grandchildren Google who I was I want the search results to be because I changed something, moved the needle forward Not just numbers on a chart or a scoreboard Legacy's the architecture of the soul The building that stands when the builder's gone cold [chorus] Legacy, what will they say about me When the story's written and I'm not around to see Legacy, bigger than fame I want to leave more than just a name Legacy, planted like a tree I won't see the shade but my children will be free Legacy, that's the final measure Not the gold but the everlasting treasure [verse 2] My father left me values, not a fortune That's worth more than any stock or stock option He left me work ethic like an inheritance Honesty and courage in abundance I want to leave my kids the same and more A foundation that they can build a future for Scholarships for kids who look like me Doors held open that were closed to me That's legacy, not the chain around my neck Not the car I drive or the watch I flex It's the fingerprint I leave on the world The flag of change that I unfurled [chorus] Legacy, what will they say about me When the story's written and I'm not around to see Legacy, bigger than fame I want to leave more than just a name Legacy, planted like a tree I won't see the shade but my children will be free Legacy, that's the final measure Not the gold but the everlasting treasure [bridge] Fame fades like flowers in the fall But legacy stands like an ancient wall So build with purpose, build with love Build something worthy of the stars above [verse 3] So every track I write, every move I make I'm asking is this for legacy's sake Or just the ego looking for a rush Because the rush will fade, the ego'll hush But legacy, that reverberates Through time and space, it penetrates The future that I'll never see That's the elevation, the ultimate me So when I'm gone, let them say he tried He built, he gave, he amplified The voices that were muted in the mix That's legacy, that's the final fix [chorus] Legacy, what will they say about me When the story's written and I'm not around to see Legacy, bigger than fame I want to leave more than just a name Legacy, planted like a tree I won't see the shade but my children will be free Legacy, that's the final measure Not the gold but the everlasting treasure
