Verse 1] Today I saw a child smile, wide-eyed and amazed A simple spark of joy lit up my darkest days And in that light, my heart began to break For the little one I never got to raise Held a baby once, dreamt of fatherhood A fishing pole, a wrench, or lessons from the hood Chessboard stories, cameras flashing time Music flowing through their soul like mine [Chorus] I got love I never gave, Dreams I never passed along But still I carry hope In every photo, every song 'Cause a legacy don't fade Even when the time is gone We all leave something behind A legacy to live on [Verse 2] I would've shown them stars, and how to stand their ground Teach 'em how to hustle, how to rise when they’re down Share the beats that healed me, the moves behind the lens Show ‘em how a broken man still finds a way to mend We all got something worth the weight A seed to plant, a road to pave But do we water it with care Or let it blow away in vain? [Chorus] I got love I never gave, Dreams I never passed along But still I carry hope In every photo, every song 'Cause a legacy don't fade Even when the time is gone We all leave something behind A legacy to live on [Bridge] It's not too late to leave a mark Even if I missed the start Somewhere, somehow, someone will Feel my heart behind the art [Final Chorus] I got love I’m learning still And a voice that’s growing strong Maybe I was meant to build A path for someone else to walk on ‘Cause a legacy don’t fade Even if it’s passed and gone We all leave something behind A legacy to live on
