Ghetts - Legends Don't Die Lyrics






Forget dying, dying's a myth, I'm going to live, yeah?
Get me in that studio
I'm working my heart and soul
And put everything into it
Kid my brother, you are a don
That is gonna get murdered, mullahed, and squirtled
When are we gonna go through? Let me know, I am ready
Actually just got off of at the plane
And heard the beat straight away
Just gassed me, over gassed
Are you ready?

Grew up in Plaist, grew up with Stormin
Help put the ends on the map, helped made Newham important
I was just 19 when I bust my gun in Club 19
And Stormin run
Showed me the blueprint, now I'm all over the music
Cah it coulda been so different
Coulda been Titch, coulda been no different
That's my brudda too
We argue like bruddas do
I'm just talking the real, 15 years in, we ain't talking appeals
If you got away with the same thing my brudda got 29 for, lucky you
Mandem fi know
When they hear me say Escobar, I mean Gavin Defoe
Before Chronik and Marcus had beef, that was actually bro
You don't actually know
Plaistow, Stratford, and Bow
Leyton, Forest Gate, Hackney, and Stowe
We're catching the bodies like catching a cold
I pray death don't come for me
But if it does, I'll be in good company
That's Sparks, that's N.E, that's Major Ace, and that's Tubby T
I ain't talking 'bout my favorite part of the movie when I say I love the scene
We can't be stopped by death man (Death man, no, no, no)
Jaykae's got the spirit of Depzman (Depzman)
And if anyone can make Cadet live forever, then Krept can
He loved CJ and them man
Next time I go to the mountain, I won't come back til I resurrect man

Oh Rude Kid, Rude Kid, I think we got one, I think we got one
This is cold
I can picture standing on it now, I can picture us going mad on it

Ghetto (Ghetto)
Day by day in the ghetto
Back in the day I had a friend called Stormin, and that's who named me Ghetto
Ghetto (Ghetto)
Day by day in the ghetto
Back in the day I had a friend called Stormin, and that's who named me Ghetto

Legends don't die
Tell 'em don't cry
Although it might be painful (Painful)
Lost a friend and gained an angel (An angel)
My brudda wear a halo (Halo), halo (Halo)
Legends don't die
Tell 'em don't cry, yeah
Although it might be painful
Lost a friend and gained an angel, yeah (An angel)
My brudda wear a halo (Halo), halo

All the niggas I promised
Got me thinking of Wallace
Me and him go way back
Prison slippers and porridge
Sidewinder tape packs
Prison visits in Norwich
Brainless, I just played that
Didn't like my verse 'cause you and Fix Dot'M were godded
I used to beg you to rap more
You wanna shoot everyone every time I end up in a rap war
I was like nah, it's just music, I don't wanna get blackballed
Even though I was underground, look what I did with the platform
In school, it was mind the gap jokes
Same boy dere, I made hide the trap phones
They ain't got no spine now
I've analyzed their backbones
Once again, when you hear me say Escobar, I ain't talking Pablo
I might not be here if it wasn't for Stormin and man know

Ghetto (Ghetto)
Day by day in the ghetto
Back in the day I had a friend called Stormin, and that's who named me Ghetto
Ghetto (Ghetto)
Day by day in the ghetto
Back in the day I had a friend called Stormin, and that's who named me Ghetto

Legends don't die
Tell 'em don't cry
Although it might be painful (Painful)
Lost a friend and gained an angel (An angel)
My brudda wear a halo (Halo), halo (Halo)
Legends don't die
Tell 'em don't cry, yeah
Although it might be painful
Lost a friend and gained an angel, yeah (An angel)
My brudda wear a halo (Halo), halo

It's kinda mad, I just think like
Death's part of the journey
I don't even really think death's the end, you know?
I don't know what to call it, fallen soldiers, all the legends dem, you feel me?
Hang tight Smiley Culture
Ghetto, life that I'm living is ghetto
Day by day, in the ghetto
Back in the day, me and my bredrin Ghetto
Licking off blocks, bare raves in the ghetto
In the ghetto, in the ghetto
Life that I'm living is ghetto
Day by day, in the ghetto
Back in the day, me and my bredrin Ghetto
Licking off blocks, bare raves in the ghetto
In the ghetto, in the ghetto

  9. E.... S....

    is stormin dead ?

  10. M.... ....

    LEGEND!!

  11. H.... ....

    I guess in a way Ghetts is the UK Kanye. You either really love his music, or hate his music. The people that get it really get it, the people that dont really dont.

  12. K.... O....

    nah this might be the greatest song of all fucking time, nothing will ever top this 🖤 🖤 🖤

  13. D.... ....

    🇺🇲 checking in. I been a fan of Stormin since Nasty on Deja. I was actually missing him and was catching up on old tunes and this came as a suggested. Respect Ghetto, only you could have done a proper tribute to the fallen.

  14. c.... p....

    I commend ghetts for this piece of artist excellence 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
    Countless reloads
    A classic that will live forever like the names mentioned in the song living and passed
    Thamayorhasspoken

  15. a.... a....

    I love how ghetts used the same bar stormin used at the beginning of his own career, tweeked it, and used it at the unfortunate end of stormins career, RIP legend.

  16. L.... B....

    Yo this hits me in my soal yanno

  17. S.... S....

    Christ defeated death on the cross if only you are to believe you too can defeat death and have everlasting life. Death is something we all will face and The Most High gave his only begotten son so we can enter into life eternal. Do you know Jesus? If not seek him while he can still be found the signs are piling up daily.

  18. s.... j....

    Fill up your grinder rude boy and smoke to this one !! R.i.p Stormin

  19. T.... S....

    Yooo
    I don’t normally leave comments so try no it’s real💯
    This tune is fucking legendary my bro 👏🏾🎬 you are the light in the scene you always have been 🕺🏾
    Man are praying for you out here 🙏🏾
    I send my 14 year old son to your music all the time, tell him to gwarn listen to some real soul food, some of the stuff most of these rappers are talking about is sending the undeveloped mind on missions to kill💯🤷🏾‍♂️
    For that I believe they are going straight to fire for not caring about the influence they have on the youth 🤷🏾‍♂️
    Keep up the good work my bro this is more than music🙏🏾🏆🥇🖤

  20. C.... B....

    Ghetts is one of the best simple as

  21. l.... ....

    Calm 🔥🔥🔥🔥

  22. I.... A....

    How many times have I reloaded this tune jeeeeez

  23. A.... C....

    Tunes deep 💥🔊💯💯

  24. P.... P....

    Ghetts is the truth has been from day 1 🔥🔥🔥👍

  25. s.... r....

    Ghetts is awesome! he should collab with Reggae singer Dan Bowskill

  26. b.... r....

    R E A L

  29. O.... B....

    Ghetts has been the man from day! Good to hear him calm talking real talk, but no one spazez out on a beat like ghetts when he's in the zone! Straight genius with the bars and flow!

  30. H.... A....

    one of the GOATS of grime people sleep too much on my G

  31. U.... A....

    The into ‘forget dying’..does anyone know who quotes this? And what song it’s taken from?

    U.... A....

    It's not sampled from another song, it's an actual voice recording of Stormin (the guy in the picture at the end, also the voice you hear in the outro)

  32. C.... G....

    Any 1 know what the part at the end is from

    C.... G....

    Found it, it’s stormin ghetto if any 1 wonders

  33. S.... ....

    R.I.P. to all the legends of grime and anyone effected by the bullshit that is the ghetto. Long live grime!

  34. L.... J....

    Old school if ya know boys were boys before grime

  35. E.... P....

    Gorgeous tribute 💔

  36. j.... d....

    This tune is art at its finest

  37. T.... ....

    Ghetts, Kano, P, T, and many more, the list of under appreciated UK talent is endless... yet you have K&K, Stormzy and Skep as the face of the industry. Smh

    T.... ....

    The3pleThreat add youngs Teflon

  38. D.... D....

    Ghetts on the map some of realist from heart shit I’ve heard ❤️

    This is so underrated. Real music needs recognition

  44. s.... c....

    Impossible to dislike this track

  45. D.... d....

    I pray death don't come for me
    But if it does, I'll be in good company
    That's Sparks, that's N.E, that's Major Ace, and that's Tubby T
