Description:
Victory lap for the broken but unbowed. “Too Legit” is a statement piece—brash, clever, and full of scars. It’s not about stunting—it’s about proving you made it out alive.

Lyrics:

Hook
Too legit (too legit)
Too legit been gettin’ bands since a jit (since a jit)
got the bag then I spent it on kicks (on kicks)
she be trippin’ sayin’ I hate how you switch (switch, switch, switch, switch) 
Yeah
I’m like really? 
Te-Tell me which is cold
is it my heart or my wrist?
When I shoot my shot
I feel like curry rarely never miss
Hopped up onna beat 
it was guaranteed to hit (hit)
Really this be easy
But it's cause i'm too legit (too legit)

Verse 1
(I'm smokin pressure on the freeway)
Might call the guys, Turn any street into a speedway 
Windows tinted where I go, you can't see me 
Doin’ what I do, gettin’ money these days 
She be lookin’ for a hero, Ion got a cape 
I jus like to smoke, bout an ounce a day 
my pockets in the gym, the way they like to carry weight 
and I tell 'em when I die, put my money in the grave 

Hook
Too legit (too legit)
Too legit been gettin’ bands since a jit (since a jit)
got the bag then I spent it on kicks (on kicks)
she be trippin’ sayin’ I hate how you switch (switch, switch, switch, switch) 
Yeah
I’m like really? 
Te-Tell me which is cold
is it my heart or my wrist?
When I shoot my shot
I feel like curry rarely never miss
Hopped up onna beat 
it was guaranteed to hit (hit)
Really this be easy
But it's cause i'm too legit (too legit)

verse 2

Hook
Too legit (too legit)

lyrics:

Э-йоу, хэлоу
Наполовину полон стакон
Бит называется "inst icon"
Psycho, разгребаю вагон
Но не ставлю на кон

Нет, это не новый флоу
Нет, это не старый флоу
Нет, это не мой флоу, воу
Хип-хоп
Нет, это вообще не флоу, ёу
Пинаю, как на Camp Nou
Эй, покривляемся немножко
Да, я записал всего одну дорожку, е
Experimental shit man, окей

Этот звук как реклама
Для бренда, типа FILV как для Balenciaga
Но мне не нужна их увага
Моё совсем другое благо
Просто шагаю дальше, бродяга
Бодрость духа от того, что есть, хотя бы

Но не забегай-ка далеко
Ведь я по неудачам снова иду на рекорд
Я после работы иду домой на record
Время не резина, значит Ready! Steady! Go!
Если она парижанка, покажу Березино
Кто меня ведёт? Что меня ведёт?
Да, я ведомый, и я верю, это Бог

Не показывай меня на больших экранах
Не показывай меня, я стесняюсь
Аккуратненько, тихонечко, мал по малу
Вечный новичок, не ищу скандала
Не нужна похвала, мне нужна пахлава

Давай сюда
Прям здесь весь вес
Сам не влезь
Спесь сбить, гнать бес

Ого, как много
Вариантов всегда предоставлено тебе
Не в Токио, но в Киото
Я бы покурил в тихой деревушке
С ног на голову, как всё поменялось
В лучшем месте на Земле и другого нет
Организм - это жизнь, а где дух, душа, любовь?
Это как-то дико, дева просит dick'a
А я сразу подумал про книгу Киндреда Филиппа

Знаю, друг, что пора остыть и выйти
Мне надо отдохнуть и распутать нити
Я настолько старый, что ещё включаю видик
Ураганные хроники, ныне хроники Риддика
Ты же знаешь - я в рэпе закручиваю каждый винтик
Настоящая любовь невидима, или, видимо, ещё не видел
Осторожно, мы уходим за горизонт событий

“The self-made man is a lie that we have taught people to keep them from complaining, to keep them from whining, to keep them from asking for better from their government, to keep them from asking for better from their employer.”

The two Steves – Hall and Grumbine – get together to dismantle the myth of the self-made man, exposing it as a centuries-old political weapon designed to disempower the working class.

Professor Hall traces the roots of this “possessive individualism” back centuries, saying it is not a recent neoliberal invention but a deeply embedded cultural force with origins in changes in English law, specifically the spread of primogeniture (inheritance by the first-born son) in the 12th century. He goes on to explain the consequences of these historical events.

The conversation reframes the American Dream as a form of mass gambling. Despite overwhelming evidence that most people fail, the system encourages a zero-sum mindset where we focus on the lottery-like winners.

The Steves agree that facts alone won’t break this spell. They discuss the need for a new emotionally compelling narrative that counters the right’s fear-mongering.

Steve Hall is Emeritus Professor of Criminology at the University of Teesside. He is a polymath who has published in the fields of criminology, sociology, anthropology, history, economic history, political theory and philosophy. He is also co-author of Violent Night (Berg 2006, with Simon Winlow), Rethinking Social Exclusion (Sage 2013, with Simon Winlow), Riots and Political Protest (Routledge 2015, with Simon Winlow, James Treadwell and Daniel Briggs), Revitalizing Criminological Theory (Routledge 2015, with Simon Winlow), The Rise of the Right (with Simon Winlow and James Treadwell) and The Death of the Left (with Simon Winlow). He is co-editor of New Directions in Criminological Theory (Routledge 2012, with Simon Winlow). In 2017 he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the international Extreme Anthropology Research Network at the University of Vienna.

Born on Third Base with Steve Hall

Xavier Cartier is the orphan of sound — moving between trap, alt-R&B, emo rap, and alt rap like borrowed masks. Without a single home in music, he drifts from world to world, adapting to whatever beat he touches. Every song carries a piece of his truth: a search for identity in a world that tried to erase it. Some tracks hit like heartbreak, others like luxury, chaos, or escape — but together they form the map of who he is becoming.
