The Legacy

Intro: Melachi The Nutcracker

Yo this is the Nutcracker, youknawhatI'mmsayin?

I got my man Lil Dap, and my man Guru from Gang Starr

With my man DJ Premier on the track

So sit back, and hold your head

And witness the legacy of street knowledge

KnawhatImean?

{Guru}

Once again, it's the gang from the Group Home

Watch out we two grown

Little niggas, blackin out on your ass, in the new zone

Using new chrome, to settle beef and cop a new home

The realest history, time to seal this victory

Mastermind, one of a kind, that's why the chicks stick to me

And sick to me, the way my voice melts the track

Giving MC's fifty lashes, puttin welts on their backs

Why you talkin all that, I'm with Dap in the hoopdy

Plottin on your weirdos, cuz most of y'all are male groupies

Throw you some panties, for you femenine side

Im flippin on you, fuck my gentleman side

I'm gettin bent and then ride, straight to where you rest

Vigilante shots, thunder going straight through you vest

So much anger, but you thought you knew me best

We live a legacy, and yo I'm thankful to be blessed (*echo*)

Chorus: Melachi The Nutcracker, Guru (repeat 1.5X)

Superior, all soldiers are obedient

Rewards are sure, any fools shall face punishment

You wanna infiltrate the premise, dead your residence

We live a legacy, real niggas will remember us

[["Hold It Down"]] - Inspectah Deck

{Lil Dap}

Uh, see love is stronger then pride

Now niggas, open your eyes and drop a jewel

All these niggas think that they fly

The sounds from the streets, make mebright and unique

And Lil Dap will knock ya dead ass of your feet

My legend speaks for itself, from the very ambitious

Niggas keep dissing, trying to keep my ass out of prison

Feel what I feel, in the streets you know shit is real

You know the deal, and natural fact you gotta pack steel

But back in the days, you couldn't even act like that

You can get slapped, reactin on somebodies lyrics blaq

My legacy is long, like an Acura Legend, just begone

Vibin thru the ghetto with bombs

Niggas watch out, you heard the horns from Brook-lan

But sacrifice my arm just for the game of hip hop

So what's your beef? A leader not a follower

Check me out, The Legacy baby, no doubt, no doubt, no doubt

Chorus 2X

{Guru}

I'm sorry

Is all you have to say

Cuz your bitch ass can't come back around the way

This form of hip hop, drip drops constantly

From my mind to the wax, spiritual kinetic energy

Can't turn me off and on with a lever

I'm too clever, my crew sever, never

Rumors said that O.G. was washed up, nah I live forever

Born royal blood, The Legacy we trendsetters

{Lil Dap}

Yo, you know me, me and my East New York representatives

Battle with scars, just so you niggas who we are

Remember back in the days when the clubs used to rock

Be the shit that strong rhymin, have you shook and amazed

Cuz these were the days, you couldn't even wear your loop chain

Now watch these lames, try to pick with my brain

So check my undertone, watch you suck that ass up, yo

Me and The Nutcracker, and we're on the go

Chorus 1.5X

[[Hold it down]] - Inspectah Deck

(scratched a couple of times by DJ Premier)
