Lyrics
I see my face in a photo
Impressions of who I used to be
All the smiles and the tears and the joy through the years
Branches of my family tree
You took my worst and my best
The things you never re-
-quested, I put up a fight and party every night
Don’t you tell me it’s fate
Because when push comes to shove
I’ve been spitting it straight
I’ve got a legacy of
Love
I got compassion from mama
And my daddy gave me loyalty
I got a couple of traits I’m not so proud of today
But without ‘em, what would I be?
You took my worst and my best
The things you never re-
-quested, I put up a fight and party every night
Don’t you tell me it’s fate
Because when push comes to shove
I’ve been spitting it straight
I’ve got a legacy of
Love
Love
Love, love
And now that I’m older
I’m getting used to how these memories fade
And I know that you’re here when I look in the mirror
In my heart you’ll always stay
You took my worst and my best
The things you never re-
-quested, I put up a fight and party every night
Don’t you tell me it’s fate
Because when push comes to shove
I’ve been spitting it straight
I’ve got a legacy of
Love
Love
Legacy of love
