[00:00.00]Daddy, what's a will
[00:02.84]Day, someday, someday we'll all
[00:08.06]Someday we'll all be free
[00:12.40]Take those moneys and spread 'cross families
[00:14.57]My sisters, Hadi and Lou, the nephews, cousins and TT
[00:17.71]Eric, the rest to B for whatever she wants to do
[00:20.30]She might start an institute
[00:21.89]She might put poor kids through school
[00:24.33]My stake in Roc Nation should go to you
[00:26.43]Leave a peace for your siblings
[00:27.98]To give to their children too
[00:29.45]TIDAL, the champagne, D'USSé, I'd like to see
[00:32.44]A nice peace-fund ideas from people who look like we
[00:35.21]We gon' start a society within a society
[00:38.73]That's major, just like the Negro League
[00:41.98]There was a time America wouldn't let us ball
[00:44.37]Those times are now back, just now called Afro-tech
[00:48.23]Generational wealth, that's the key
[00:50.13]My parents ain't have ****
[00:51.57]So that shift started with me
[00:53.30]My mom took her money, she bought me bonds
[00:56.39]That was the sweetest thing of all time, uh
[00:59.53]Legacy, Legacy, Legacy, Legacy
[01:02.51]Black excellence baby, you gon' let 'em see
[01:05.35]Legacy, Legacy, Legacy, Legacy
[01:08.54]Black excellency, baby, let 'em see
[01:13.04]I've been listening to Wu-Tang and ****** like
[01:17.01]"Your seed, married his seed, married my seed"
[01:19.92]That's how we keep Carter money all in the family
[01:23.11]You see, my father, son of a preacher man
[01:26.12]Whose daughter couldn't escape
[01:27.73]The reach of the preacher's hand
[01:29.14]That charge of energy set all the Carters back
[01:32.11]It took all these years to get to zero in fact
[01:34.66]I hated religion 'cause here was this Christian
[01:37.53]He was preachin' on Sundays
[01:39.07]Versus how he was livin' Monday
[01:42.08]Someday I forgive him
[01:43.42]'Cause strangely our division led to
[01:45.25]Multiple religions I studied
[01:47.76]Muslim, Buddhist, and Christians, and
[01:49.84]I was runnin' from him, He was givin' me wisdom
[01:54.03]See how the universe works?
[01:55.93]It takes my hurt and help me find more of myself
[01:59.88]It's a gift and a curse
[02:02.39]That's called the red queens race
[02:05.37]You run this hard just to stay in place
[02:08.30]Keep up the pace, baby
[02:09.81]Keep up the pace
[02:11.20]You run this hard just to stay in place
[02:14.10]Legacy, Legacy, Legacy, Legacy
[02:16.89]Black excellence, you gon' let 'em see
[02:19.69]Legacy, Legacy, Legacy, Legacy
[02:22.75]Black excellency, baby, let 'em see
[02:25.24]Day, someday, someday we'll all
[02:30.25]Someday we'll all be free, yeah
