Legacy

People say life’s easier with help from others Yet no one shows this to be true I agree to a point, but help comes from friends like brothers Well not everyone’s got that kind of crew See I didn't so I went through it alone I did the work myself, I never backed down I did more than work; I worked at skills I needed to hone So that I would soon be the one wearing that crown I thought the unthinkable, did the impossible, and saw things one could only imagine I looked at pictures and saw a plan unplanned Then through work the plan happened I thought it through and took a stand Worked through blood, pain, and sweat And saw things that I’ll never forget I’m best at being what I made of myself Look at me and that’s what you’ll see But if you look at a bunch of pictures of me on the shelf You’ll see photos, but not the real me I strived by working alone So that one day some year I’d be sitting in that throne Even though that day and that year are not yet here They soon will be known
