Born Legend
Written by Vic S.
Music by Tone Jonez
If I ain’t seen it all
I’ve seen enough…
That pain weakens your gut
Your heart turns black,
Then devours the love
The hour draws near
There’s no need drugs
‘Cause what’s to come will leave you numb
I don’t think they ready for it
Their direction is descent
They’re falling toward
A fate that has The Fates applying pressure to their cord
…And they just might cut
I stared Medusa in the eyes
My heart stone
With Versace shades on (Versace’s logo is a Medusa head)
Even she shivered…
Now they see me in the Church like,
“How did this demon get delivered?”
I was destined for secession
From oppression in that kingdom
I was suppressing all the blessings
That were raining down from Heaven
Prince of the Air snatching away my breath and
Suffocating all my brethren
I came up out that valley in Ezekiel 37
The Spirit put that heart of flesh in
It turned me into a weapon
You know what I’m reppin’ (representing)
De Civitate Dei (Latin for “City of God”)
Hell is up out of my way
Snakes greet me with that enchanté
I nonchalantly peel back their face
Watch them turn
Theirs wolves among the sheep
Serpents in the Church
Sharks in the pond
My harpoon is ready,
What do y’all really want?
Since a youngin’ I’ve been the one
Born Legend
Beelzebub attempted to cave my head in
I veered off that pathway to the grave I was treading
Now I drink the blood
And feast on the bread of Heaven
A rosary ‘round my neck
That crucifix sits heavy on my chest
Cross up on my back,
That’s daily
I traverse this path to that holy edifice
A city with foundations that can’t be shaken
I used to be posted right there at the precipice
Staring into the pit at that sulfuric lake and
My reflection is just gazing
Back at me
I wasn’t recognizing what I was facing
That’s why I can’t stand adjacent
To these watered-down Christians
You know what I came from
That’s why I gotta live complete surrender
From January to November
December comes and Advent forces me to remember
That child that came for me
He was Born Legend…
I touch the hem
My will is weak but my faith is strong
I’m empowered by that grace them I’m gone…
