about

This single is completely diferent to all the singles to date and it features new talent Melina.
Melina participated in the Avon Voices a global singing competition and has the right tone and texture to carry the strong message of the song.

As the title suggests, the song is about leaving a legacy and the desired effect is to inspire all those who listen to it, to do great things and leave a legacy. This is the perect follow up to “The Beginning” and is once again produced by myself with additional keys by Greg Nottingham of Jazzworx and guitar by Grant Tregellas.

lyrics

Verse 1

It's my life I'm gon' try live it/ quite different/
by the minute I rise with it/ and fly past the sky limit/
My eye I fixed it on the prize/ it's quite vivid/
couldn't try and extinguish the fire in my spirit/
I living in the present in essence I’m gifted/
Every second I’m counting blessings that I’m given/
It seems to get to success you have to buy a ticket/
It’s a dream but you can’t sleep if you wanna live it/
I wanna love whole-heartedly/ so honestly
It’s a soul part of me and it flows in my arteries/
You would swear it’s in the air that I gotta breathe
And when you share, you prepare for it properly/
Love is the God in me/ that got in me/
It’s that garden of Autumn leaves/ that’s falling free/
Love is what’s calling me/ melodically/
But it’s hard to respond to love if that’s not how you live.

Verse 2

I also wanna learn and continue to learn and just keep learning/
I want the fires of knowledge to keep burning/
I know the pages of time will keep turning/
The information will pile and keep churning/
I keep yearning/ cause each person is deserving/
To reach a certain level, that’s why I’m determined/
Cause ignorance is a free burden/
With detrimental consequences that why we need to reverse it/
I wanna leave a legacy/ want peeps to remember me/
For my different pedigree/ cause he was legendary/
When he would speak it was with a deep sense of peace/
When he teach it would reach an intensity/
I want them to speak of a unique energy/
Say he had self belief to read the recipe/
To achieve his dreams reach his destiny/
I want that to be my legacy/ that’s the reason I live..

Chorus:
I wanna give the world all the truth in me/
Cause God he put me here to leave a legacy/
