Legacy

Let's escape fomr this moon covered bayou

I can't breathe in this old stangnat rice field

All along the stifled southern wept waterlands

It's breeding wishes to see what the outside is

I'm so tired of the legacy, the heritage

There's no way I could ever fill my daddy's shoes

Waking up inside a vacant town by no means

Is an awakening to stir my restless soul

It's a burning shame to mock hospitality

You'll never feel the tears we really cry

Is it my fault I wasn't born to royalty

You'll never feel the tears we cry

Everyday is another nail into the lid

I can't stay here and hide like my family did

Even though I cry to see their lives just watered down

I'll be the first to step into another world
