Lyrics for Legacy (with PJ)

I know you got a lotta demons clogging up your past I can do some cleaning up for you, but I know we won't last past the winter time 'Cause summer's coming and the nigga trying to hit a dime or two But come next fall I'm finding you, and we can do it all again My niggas call it legacy I fear that the best days I've had are not ahead of me And 'cause of that I'm searching for the one that got away from me So busy looking back that I can't see what God has made for me And I'll be texting you, texting you I'm tryna find the one who got away from me Yeah, I'm still texting you, texting you Hey, I'm tryna find the one who got away Commitment issues, I can't even decide what's for dinner Pardon these selfish flows, I need to yelp for hoes I need to read reviews, 'cause some of the evil that I've seen you do is unbelievable Menopause shit, inconceivable, tennis ball shit Causing that racket outside my mama house, what's it all about? Guess it's a thin line between love and hate, the love we make is temporary Like this lovely place, I'm living in, wait, that's contemporary Never mind, I'm tripping in, but then again, it's hard to settle in this modern era We could be as tight as that dress you barely fitting in But my fear of missing out has got me on a trip again Riding to that A-Town, that A-Town, tour bus, no Greyhound My lust is profound, your trust is break sound Your heart don't glue back, quite right My heart is too black like white flight They push them people to the suburbs, now they want their city back So they raise the rent and the property tax Why I feel like in a few years I'll relate to that? Knowing I let you go and regretting that fact 'Cause I done spent so long playing games and holding back From giving all of me, too scared that I won't get it back And yes, I'm well aware, I rhyme the word back with back 'Cause that's exactly the direction that I'm tired of looking at And that's why I be, texting you, texting you I'm tryna find the one who got away from me Texting you, texting you Hey, I'm tryna find the one who got away Yeah, rollin' around in Lincoln Town cars on my way to the spot Passin' the bottle, wishin' I found a way to make time stop, intoxicated Runnin' with gangsters with their hammers on cocked, I'm infatuated 'Cause I know deep down that they everything that I'm not And that's why I'm texting you, texting you And I be texting you, texting you Call me when you wanna fly, yeah, yeah, yeah Tell you all the reasons why, yeah, yeah, yeah Young is turning old, yeah, yeah, yeah Summer's turning to snow, yeah, yeah, yeah Memories and lullabies, yeah, yeah, yeah Floating in a lonely sky, yeah, yeah, yeah When the weather's getting cold, yeah, yeah, yeah You're the one I wanna hold, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Even back then, we knew what road to choose It's been so much time and it's that much more to lose Even back then, we knew what road to choose It's been so much time and it's that much more to lose
