LEGACY

My People, My People

What have you done?

You’ve disgraced the efforts

Made for the war we’ve finally won

 

They make these "homes" for you

Saying that you are destined

In these brick walls

My legacy you have lessened

 

Your respect has changed

For the finer things

When all that matters

Is that you are the wind beneath your wings

 

Your selfish ways

Have changed your name

You disgrace our women

But respect you claim

 

Therefore, change your legacy

Make yourself known

Only by the deeds you’ve done

And not what you own
