Lyrics

Intro

Uh, yeah, oh-oh

(come on, come on)

Verse

I hear them in my speakers when the night gets loud, yeah (loud)

Juice pouring out melodies, turned his pain into a crowd (999)

X with the confessions, cracked-open soul on the page, ayy

King Von telling stories from the corners of the same rage

And then a quiet name that shifts the skyline of my mind

Jesus with the simple words that learned us how to find

A reason to forgive, a reason to stand again

Different faces, different roads, same light in the end (same light)

Pre-chorus

They wrote the lines that we still sing (we still sing)

Turned broken nights into an anthem, into wings (oh-oh)

I carry all their letters like a torch inside my chest

I promise I will speak their names until my voice rests

Chorus

Legends never die, legends never die (never die)

We lift their voices up, we lift their voices up, oh-oh

Legends never die, legends never die (never die)

From the block to the chapel, from the booth to the sky, yeah

Legends never die, legends never die (never die)

We sing them in the rain, we sing them on the ride, oh-oh

Legends never die, legends never die (never die)

They live when we remember, they live when we keep them alive

Verse

I write the hooks like therapy, I spit the truth like sermon lines

Juice taught me how to feel it, X taught me how to find the light

Von painted whole neighborhoods with syllables and scars

Jesus taught the simple way to lift the fallen stars

Different crowns, different scars, same seeds that grow in time

One gave love, one gave rhythm, one bared a city’s rhyme

One gave hope that’s older than the pages or the charts

All of them are living in the corners of our hearts (in our hearts)

Bridge

We clap our hands, we press repeat (we press repeat)

Say the names again, say the names again (say the names)

Juice, X, Von, and Jesus — sing it loud, sing it slow

They teach us how to leave and how to let the river go (let it go)

Chorus

Legends never die, legends never die (never die)

We lift their voices up, we lift their voices up, oh-oh

Legends never die, legends never die (never die)

From the block to the chapel, from the booth to the sky, yeah

Legends never die, legends never die (never die)

We sing them in the rain, we sing them on the ride, oh-oh

Legends never die, legends never die (never die)

They live when we remember, they live when we keep them alive
