[Verse 1]

Bone dry, bone dry

Gave everything I could but

Won't die, won't die

Tough motherfucker, hallelujah

Looking back on all the years I probably shoulda gave up

Maybe the thing I'm best at is I just know how to get up

It's taken too long for me to let myself have my own back

My hunger won't let me eat, survival has no time for reflection, that's just a fact


[Chorus]

I have become a legend

Realized in a moment of stillness

Never thought I'd be a legend

All the work, all the blood, all the time spent


[Interlude]

No I mean straight up, I spent my whole career thinking I wasn't shit, basically, to myself

I wouldn't, I wouldn't give myself props, you know what I mean?

Cause it was like, nah I mean, it was like the struggle I had to, I had to...

I was surviving, you know what I'm saying? But I also had to thrive

Like, that was my goal

Like I was so ambitious

You know I wouldn't let myself have a moment of reflection, or like of peace, you know what I'm saying?

Cause I could also look at that like it's a moment of weakness or rest, you know what I'm saying?

So, but eventually, you know what I'm saying, allowing myself to be proud of myself was a huge weight off my back, you know what I mean?

Like it was one of the most intense moments of my life

Granting myself that moment, like, it wasn't about...

And look, granting myself that moment, it was not about pride or narcissism or anything like that, you know what I'm saying?

It was about being tender to myself

Recognizing all that fuckin' torturous work, sacrifice

You know, all the shit I'd been through over the last decade, or whatever like, it might have actually been worth it

You know what I mean?

So it was me basically in front of the mirror with a simple well done, I'm proud of you

You know what I mean?

And it took over a decade to get to that point


[Chorus]

I have become a legend

Realized in a moment of stillness

Never thought I'd be a legend

All the work, all the blood, all the time spent

I have become a legend

Realized in a moment of stillness

Never thought I'd be a legend

All the work, all the blood, all the time spent
