FROM ASHES TO NEW

"Legacy"

[Verse 1: Matt Brandyberry]
I was just an outcast kid with a pen and a dream
Almost anywhere I went I pretended to be
Unaffected by the stupid people questioning me
But in reality, I did it all intentionally
And made you think I'd give into the pressure and leave
And made you think I'd give into depression and bleed
I'll make an enemy of anybody threatening me
And I'm the one who determines who I am destined to be

[Pre-Chorus: Danny Case and Matt Brandyberry]
When it all falls down
Yeah, look at you now
Now you're wrong again
When it hits the ground
Can't look at you now
Now you'll never win

[Chorus: Danny Case and Matt Brandyberry]
This is my legacy
Life or death to me
It's like the air I breathe
And you can't suffocate me now
You can't burn my empire, but you still try now
You can play god, but you can't kill my legacy
It's life or death to me

[Verse 2: Matt Brandyberry]
Who can I turn to?
I've tried to only depend on the loved ones without a reason to desert you
That's how I learned to shut out the world and forget all the dumb people that be putting me in the worst moods
'Cause when you let 'em in your head they only hurt you
They find a way to gas you up and then they burn you
They got me turned loose, now I'll tear their fucking house down till they got nothing left to return to

[Pre-Chorus: Danny Case and Matt Brandyberry]
When it all falls down
Yeah, look at you now
Now you're wrong again
When it hits the ground
Can't look at you now
Now you'll never win

[Bridge: Danny Case and Matt Brandberry]
You said that I'd be nothing
How does it feel that I shut your mouth?
You can't kill me, no matter how hard you try
So turn around if you wanna get out alive
You said I'd never make it
Look at me now, just sit the fuck down
You can't stop me, you already had a try
Now get in back of the line
Right now
You'll never break me down
You'll never break me
