[Intro]
Let the BandPlay

[Pre-Chorus]
John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, ha
When I die I just wanna be a legend
White roses on my headstone and my name in golden carets 'cause uh
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, ha
When I die I just wanna be a legend
White roses on my headstone and my name in golden carets 'cause uh
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend, gonna live past twenty-seven
With them gates out front of my house so pearly white you'll think it's heaven
Still rockin' clothes lookin' ratchet like I don't give a shit
'Cause once upon a time I's scrounging for that slick eighty cents
And I cherished the times I counted them nickels to feed my stomach
Then my family made me hungry 'cause I hated the strugglin'
I quit my job in construction, I took a huge leap of faith
And now they know the dude who's rappin' with that gap in his face (Upchuch!)

[Pre-Chorus]
John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, ha
When I die, I just wanna be a legend
White roses on my headstone and my name in golden carets 'cause uh
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
[Chorus]
And when I'm gone my fuckin' jams will still be jammin'
And all my fans will still be out here tearin' shit up raisin' hell and yellin'
Let my sound waves live a thousand years, I'll still jam as a skeleton 'cause
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend

[Verse 2]
And I ain't used to this life, but hell I'm willin' to take it
If I'm gonna be famous then I guess I'm makin' statements
'Cause there was times my transportation was these boots on the pavement
And now I'm ridin' in dually's dipped in that pearlescent paint
For years before my Billboard charts my mama kept me believin'
I told her I'd fight for success until my damn heart stopped the beatin'
From now to then it's opposite on how these populars treat me
Still Johnny Cash with middle fingers sayin' fuck a celebrity

[Pre-Chorus]
John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, ha
When I die, I just wanna be a legend
White roses on my headstone and my name in golden carets 'cause uh
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend

[Chorus]
And when I'm gone my fuckin' jams will still be jammin'
And all my fans will still be out here tearin' shit up raisin' hell and yellin'
Let my sound waves live a thousand years, I'll still jam as a skeleton 'cause
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
[Verse 3]
Small town, shine sippin', tailgate dumpin' when the beat drop
Churchman-level high, all my haters need binoculars
Because I was a nobody now I'm the beast of the pines
I got evicted from duplexes, now I got shooters on dial
I'm just two bare-feet walkin', tiptoein' through all of these snakes
But stayin' humble to my people I'm the king of the sticks
And I'll live up under a bridge before I go sell my soul
You know I'm goin' for gold, the best story that's ever told

[Pre-Chorus]
John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, ha
When I die, I just wanna be a legend
White roses on my headstone and my name in golden carets 'cause uh
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend

[Chorus]
And when I'm gone my fuckin' jams will still be jammin'
And all my fans will still be out here tearin' shit up raisin' hell and yellin'
Let my sound waves live a thousand years, I'll still jam as a skeleton 'cause
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend

[Outro]
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
When I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' legend
