Paroles de la chanson Legacy par J. Cole
[J. Cole]
Rollin' around in Lincoln Town Cars, on our way to the stop
Passin' the bottle, we shouldn't have found a way to make time stop
Intoxicated, ridin' with gangsters with they hammers on cocked
Infatuated 'cause I know deep down that they everything that I'm not
[J. Cole]
I know you got a lot of demons cloggin' up your past
I can do some cleanin' up for you, but I know we won't last
Pass the Winter time 'cause Summer's comin' and a nigga tryin' to hit a dime or two
Rollin' around in Lincoln Town Cars, on our way to the stop
Passin' the bottle, we shouldn't have found a way to make time stop
Intoxicated, ridin' with gangsters with they hammers on cocked
Infatuated 'cause I know deep down that they everything that I'm not
[J. Cole]
I know you got a lot of demons cloggin' up your past
I can do some cleanin' up for you, but I know we won't last
Pass the Winter time 'cause Summer's comin' and a nigga tryin' to hit a dime or two
But come next Fall, I'm findin' you and we can do it all again
My niggas call it legacy
I fear that the best days I've had are not ahead of me
And 'cause of that, I'm searchin' for the one that got away from me
So busy looking back that I can't see what God has made for me
[J. Cole]
And I be texting you, texting you
I'm tryna find the one who got away from me
Yeah, I'm still texting you, texting you (Hey)
I'm tryna find the one who got away
[J. Cole]
Commitment issues, I can't even decide what's for dinner
My niggas call it legacy
I fear that the best days I've had are not ahead of me
And 'cause of that, I'm searchin' for the one that got away from me
So busy looking back that I can't see what God has made for me
[J. Cole]
And I be texting you, texting you
I'm tryna find the one who got away from me
Yeah, I'm still texting you, texting you (Hey)
I'm tryna find the one who got away
[J. Cole]
Commitment issues, I can't even decide what's for dinner
Pardon these selfish flows, I need a Yelp for hoes
I need to read reviews 'cause some of the evil I see you do is unbelievable
Menopause shit, inconceivable
Tennis ball shit, 'causin' that racket outside my momma house
What's it all about?
Guess it's a thin line between love and hate
The love we make is temporary like this lovely place I'm livin' in
Wait, that's contemporary, never mind I'm trippin-in'
But then again, it's hard to settle in this modern era
We could be as tight as that dress you barely fittin' in
But my fear of missin' out has got me on a trip again
I need to read reviews 'cause some of the evil I see you do is unbelievable
Menopause shit, inconceivable
Tennis ball shit, 'causin' that racket outside my momma house
What's it all about?
Guess it's a thin line between love and hate
The love we make is temporary like this lovely place I'm livin' in
Wait, that's contemporary, never mind I'm trippin-in'
But then again, it's hard to settle in this modern era
We could be as tight as that dress you barely fittin' in
But my fear of missin' out has got me on a trip again
Ride up to that A-Town, that A-Town
Tour bus, no Greyhound
My lust is profound
Your trust, just pray sound
Your heart don't glue back quite right
My heart is too black like white flight
That push them people to the suburbs, now they want they city back
So they raised the rent and the property tax
Why I feel like in a few years I'll relate to that?
Knowin' that I let you go and regrettin' that fact
'Cause I done spent so long playin' games and holdin' back
From givin' all of me, too scared that I won't get it back
And yes, I'm well aware I rhymed the word "back" with "back"
Tour bus, no Greyhound
My lust is profound
Your trust, just pray sound
Your heart don't glue back quite right
My heart is too black like white flight
That push them people to the suburbs, now they want they city back
So they raised the rent and the property tax
Why I feel like in a few years I'll relate to that?
Knowin' that I let you go and regrettin' that fact
'Cause I done spent so long playin' games and holdin' back
From givin' all of me, too scared that I won't get it back
And yes, I'm well aware I rhymed the word "back" with "back"
'Cause that's exactly the direction that I'm tired of lookin' at
And that's why I be
[J. Cole]
Texting you, texting you
I'm tryna find the one who got away from me
Texting you, texting you (Hey)
I'm tryna find the one who got away (Yeah)
[J. Cole]
Rollin' around in Lincoln Town Cars on our way to the stop
Passin' the bottle, we shouldn't have found a way to make time stop
Intoxicated, ridin' with gangsters with they hammers on cocked
I'm infatuated 'cause I know deep down that they everything I'm not
And that's why I be
[J. Cole]
Texting you, texting you
I'm tryna find the one who got away from me
Texting you, texting you (Hey)
I'm tryna find the one who got away (Yeah)
[J. Cole]
Rollin' around in Lincoln Town Cars on our way to the stop
Passin' the bottle, we shouldn't have found a way to make time stop
Intoxicated, ridin' with gangsters with they hammers on cocked
I'm infatuated 'cause I know deep down that they everything I'm not
And I'm still texting you, texting you (Girl, just hit me back when you get to your spot, no time for no arguing)
And I be texting you, texting you
Call me when you wanna fly, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell you all the reasons why, yeah, yeah, yeah
Youngins turnin' old, yeah, yeah, yeah
Summer's turnin' into snow, yeah, yeah, yeah
Memories and lullabies, yeah, yeah, yeah
Floatin' in the lonely sky, yeah, yeah, yeah
When the weather's gettin' cold, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're the one I wanna hold, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[PJ]
Even back then, we knew what road to choose
It's been so much time and it's that much more to lose
And I be texting you, texting you
Call me when you wanna fly, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell you all the reasons why, yeah, yeah, yeah
Youngins turnin' old, yeah, yeah, yeah
Summer's turnin' into snow, yeah, yeah, yeah
Memories and lullabies, yeah, yeah, yeah
Floatin' in the lonely sky, yeah, yeah, yeah
When the weather's gettin' cold, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're the one I wanna hold, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[PJ]
Even back then, we knew what road to choose
It's been so much time and it's that much more to lose
Even back then, we knew what road to choose
It's been so much time and there's that much more to lose
It's been so much time and there's that much more to lose
Que racontent les paroles de la chanson Legacy de J. Cole ?
J. Cole livre avec « Legacy » une réflexion poignante sur les rendez-vous manqués et la peur de l'engagement. Ce titre, né de l'effervescence créative des studios Tree Sound à Atlanta, délaisse l'ego-trip pour une analyse psychologique sincère. Le morceau traite de la difficulté de construire un avenir quand on reste hypnotisé par le rétroviseur, hanté par une relation que l'on a soi-même sabotée.
L'artiste de Fayetteville décrit un cycle de fuite et de retour : il consomme ses étés dans la légèreté avant de tenter de reconquérir son port d'attache une fois le froid venu. Cole brille particulièrement lorsqu'il transpose des concepts sociologiques à sa vie sentimentale. En comparant l'évolution de ses sentiments à la gentrification des quartiers populaires, il exprime le regret d'avoir délaissé une personne précieuse pour ensuite constater que le prix pour la retrouver est devenu inatteignable. Cette métaphore souligne l'amertume d'un homme qui réalise que son « héritage » personnel se résume à une suite de jeux immatures et de doutes chroniques.
La structure du texte insiste sur cette stagnation. En répétant le mot « back » de manière obsessionnelle, Cole avoue sa fatigue de regarder en arrière. Le refrain, porté par une répétition de messages envoyés dans le vide, symbolise cette quête désespérée de reconnexion dans une ère moderne où la liberté de choix finit par paralyser l'individu. En fin de compte, « Legacy » fonctionne comme un avertissement sur la fragilité des liens humains face à l'égoïsme et à la peur de perdre ce que l'on ne possède pas encore.
