Story behind the song
My love for poetry was the supreme motivation behind this song.
Lyrics
Lyrical excerpt: Legacy Your words caress my ears tenderly Silently sliding slowly down my spine I shiver with your whispered promises Of cerebral ecstasy How wide can you expand my mind? Illuminate my third eye? With the truth of your soul Spit those word to me like real hip hop Make my heart thunder like boom box beats Give it to me raw and bring the heat I want to believe in you So lace me luxuriously with your lyricism Make me taste your love on the tip of my tongue Make my pen bleed tears For every pronounced pain pondered onto paper Split my soul in two With your double edged metaphors Rally me to your cause In the name of your words I will declare war I will be the Isis you speak of I will be the Queen you need I’ll even be that b*** that did you wrong When I hear those sad songs of love gone Just slam me with the waves of your words Wash my spirit in soliloquies
