about

Description

Quitting a sport that helped shape who you are is painfully difficult at first. This October, SOP decided to quit collegiate Track & Field in order to pursue music, academics and organize events on campus for the Asian-American student community. "Legacy" is SOP's healing introspections on how his Track & Field legacy is something to be proud of but also something that does not define him alone. As one door closes, many, many, many doors swing wide open!

Lyrics

Remember lacing my spikes up! for-the-first time?
It resonated w/ me ringing like a church-chime
Anticipation— the flip-switch when pistol pop,
I’m not Jamaican but I'm chasing it what I got,

And what I’m bringing is a whole New Balance……
That competition shit, is no true challenge…..
….. The force is with me and I’ll bring it for my city!
Ima take this team from NOTHING now we freaken’ so disgusting— when we kicking

It’s been a minute… it’s in the distance.
I never thought it come…. but I’m making my decision
And I won’t forget the lessons… you ingrained like persistence,
That A-skip B— yeah— trained me to listen,

And ay…. I’m super blessed yeah you built Shinsanity
Now every Asian kid will see my name as Legacy
For every checkered flag, rival passed, record beat
The PICTURES show I LEVITATE no GRAVITY *chyeah*

But every Good Thing must turn sour…
It shows you stuck with it from honeymoon to grave-stone-flower
But I will ALWAYS keep that rhythm you engraved in me
I’ll miss you, Track & Field, with Daffodils from A-Z
