Legacy Never Dies

Legends ain't gone they echo

Listen

You can still hear me

Every time a kid writes pain in a rhyme

I live again through space and time

They can take my body, not my flame

I'm forever in the people that remember my name

I'm in the classroom where a teacher quotes my verse

Teachin' the youth that their mind is their universe

I'm in the protest chant, the cry for release

The quiet determination that brings inner peace

I'm the spark in an activist who's just found her voice

The reason a young king reconsiders a violent choice

My body was a vessel, my words are the soul

And they're replanting my seeds, making generations whole

Generations whole

You hear that

Legacy never dies, it multiplies

Through truth, through struggle, through the cries

As long as one heart rise

Legacy never dies

Legacy never dies

Legacy never dies

I'm the tears of a dreamer, the prayer of the broke

The light of a soul that the system choked

You can silence the voice, not the idea

I'm eternal like hope, that's the real freedom

They tried to bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds

Now I'm a forest of thinkers, fulfilling new needs

I'm the"Keep Ya Head Up" in a single mom's stride

The"Changes" in a lawyer fighting on the inside

The"Dear Mama" in a son's first real apology

The"Hail Mary" in a moment of dark theology

So when you feel that fire, that urge to be great

To love and to fight and to change your own fate

That's me. Still breathin'. Still believin

Legacy never dies, it multiplies

Through truth, through struggle, through the cries

As long as one heart rise

Legacy will rise

Legacy never dies

Legacy never dies

So let the monuments crumble, let the statues turn to dust

My name is not in marble, but in the righteous and the just

I'm in the beat of the drummer at the front of the march
