[Verse1 - Napoleon Da Legend] Bronze liver, silver back gorilla deliver the science Taking this frivolous civilization to Zion it's a crying shame Crying Freeman with the aim, my diamond shines and the demons wanna change that Flammable data, brains splatter, my grammar like a Lamborghini Expose the truth like bikinis in a kimono, cream polo, stretch ya mid out with 4 arms like Goro Proto-type MC u know the logo, local rhyme menace, globalize the vision Blow 5 dimensions, old men die trying to mention, can't patronize my invention My brain jolts Hussain Bolt I make dough when I lace flow with the fresh like a day old new born Blue energy sword, my soul caliber, son didn't budge so I had to grab the Excalibur Knock down chicks on ya calendar, Highlander, knock ya head off I still live Fly phantom, immortal, quasi-modo, my logic and moral, knowledge like C3PO Del Toro Benicio, YouTube and Vimeo see me though, cliches get thrown out the window The wind blows my direction, where's ya dad son? Come follow me to Zion, now wave the flag [Hook - Napoleon Da Legend] Yo you thought it was a joke sun, I give Jewelz to my broke suns, call me Shogun This is no stunt, strictly for my closes ones, bottom of my soul where it flow from [Verse2 - Napoleon Da Legend] Shh! Quiet when an ill man talk, I can heal a man on a wheel chair and make an ill man walk The neurologist, world renown 7D Canon vivid lyricist, with the words I'm a photographer Product of pain, prodigal sun who overcame, diabolical games from every molecule and DNA strain While you chasin VMA fame underneath that facade I can see a great shame Blade change, signature move, lesson 24 Pharaoh-Gamo techniques Death comes in threes, so let's be perfectly honest I'm just birth and spawning the sound that'll hit the earth like a comet and hit the ground Mushroom clouds bum rush through the crowd, banging on tables, lunchroom style, seen my eyebrows focus Maneuver through the wild vultures Voltron high voltage like Gohan second transformation Super Sayan 2 saying the truth, what I say I do unlike most these lame dudes Phosphorous this is brain food to be prosperous must remain true Shogun assassin say it ain't true, the street philosopher we ain't walking in the same shoe

Jewelz pt 3 – Napoleon Da Legend 2013 We live and learn, liquor makes the liver burn / anxiety seeps through the epiderm/ will Obama get a second term? / only death is certain/ will the human race ever learn/ I make cheddar burn/ get my point across in just 11 words/ times are harder than they ever were/ pain in my soul is hereditary/ we forever search/ for the meaning of life in every turn/ do we die and then return or go to heaven and splurge?/ or freefall in the abyss of hell and then burn?/ do we earn a pass to get us in first?/ like night club promoters while god studies my motives/ soul cleansing flushing my motor/ hustle is in my culture/ success/ death sucks us in closer/ now my heart is torn/ pushing harder through the storm/ junk food in my belly now my arteries are worn/ hard to see the wrong/ part of me’s torn/ the good side of me’s there but it’s hard to reach to him/ bad economy/ no stopping my movement while the poverty’s booming/ grinding till I’m in the driver seat cruising/ no more privacy for humans they YouTubing us/ locked in this rubix cube of consumerism/ worshipping the superficial/ no matter how long you run the truth will always hit you/ Jewelz 2X Through my life I’ve seen all types of things/ the good the bad the ugly/ what life can bring/ through the heartaches and pain we find the strength within/ we dig deep for what it takes to win (what it takes to win) Mind over matter/ we never mind the chatter/ my rhyme chatter I grind until I climb the ladder/ at night I shine like Las Vegas Nevada/ on or off stage I’m manifesting the latter/ see the symbolism as simple as I envision/ choose words that I assemble like Hieroglyphics/ it’s all physics/ written in the star systems/ the positive comes to the one that’s optimistic/ my belief system kills obsolete wisdom/ forces inside of me keep driving me on my mission/ to free the captive I spit for kings and Cleopatras/ dodging enemies in the Matrix with Neo backflips/ homeopathic Pisces/ Zodiac is sick/ crowd yelling homie threw me off with his accent/ Atlas throwing the earth off the axis/ small minded rappers jerking off on the mattress/ talking about his chains and rims spinning/ when he goes out to clubs he gets brains from 10 women/ now his fans don’t believe him anymore/ even worse his own man don’t believe him anymore/ now the reason in your core’s telling you to change/ the words from your songs putting you to shame/ and now you out the game/ no one will truly miss you/ no matter how much you run the truth will always hit you

[Verse 1: Napoleon Da Legend] Who’s the best rapper that ever lived? Answer the question kid, the lesson is You took more than a second then the Legend is Prolific rap Olympic, standing on Mount Olympus With Zeus and other gods no comparing the sound you listen Eucalyptus you can live to this, so view my vision Only built for Cuban Linx the game is broke so who can fix it? Po the Pharo-Gamo, Pharaoh with ammo, M.O Negro Modelo mellow kid you didn’t get the memo Megalithic Sega Genesis I used to dig Fly on my Pegasus just to spit on the face of Bigots Check how I make my entrance, money be making interest Love me a freak that be bending over and taking inches Hip-Hop is never dying you should go to hell for lying Llabels present slave contracts I’m never signing Po is a legend is he? Gotta respect the MC I got my brethren and dead presidents to represent me [Hook: Napoleon Da Legend] These are words from the wise men, you should live your lives like them Utilize your common sense get your mind bent Words from the wise men, they telling lies my friends Leviathan is on the rise that’s where the line ends [Verse2: Sean Price] Abracadabra I stab a rapper fast with my dagger Cause every line in his rhyme is swine and dining no swagger I’m the Master P without the tank on my neck My crooks strong look wrong, they be shanking your neck Mind over matter I mind your mind your mind doesn’t matter I splatter your mind with the nine designed for reclining you bastards I fuck up your life, fuck your whole situation A nigga fuck you up for thinking that a nigga Haitian You stay dank smoking and thinking like frank ocean Looking for a funeral face like a urinal Juventud Guevara paul, I’m a luchador Step on ya blue shoes while I’m looting your store I get Rah Rah with whores, Zsa Zsa Gabor I wild out on on tour like those shoes are yours P! I’m the best rapper you ever heard You hearing they broke so you ain’t hearing a word P! [Hook: Napoleon Da Legend] [Verse3: Napoleon Da Legend] This is a mission brah, no competition paul No signature no one to sign your wack petition paul You ain’t occupying nothing and plus your mind corrupted Your style’s suspect at the bar with 30 dollars fronting Faking these album numbers on twitter accounts you bluffing How’s it feel to tell your moms you ain’t amount to nothing I be your motivation I’m a show how to lace it Just like a pair of Jordans that comment has no relation But that’s beside the issue just to make the rhyme continue Rappers dime a dozen common just like baby mama issues Here’s my prediction fam about to hit the ceiling fan I can contaminate an ocean with a milligram None of y’all are going ham all these rappers making spam Y’all cats can’t even touch me even if we shaking hands Napoleon Da Legend case you forgot the name I got nothing to lose I got a lot to gain

[Verse 1 : Napoleon Da Legend] Stomp Goliath/ David with the balls of a giant heart of a lion Marching to Zion arguably the Messiah, arguments fire It's hard not to admire remarkable timing darts shining you can see the light Market it to the blind, hard not to be biased like living life Not relying on technological science, acknowledge the highest third optical iris Optimus Prime and stop the violence, reading stars like the Mayans My art is the livest, arguments start to ignite who's the hottest artist alive? Audience riot cause my audible's diamond, ain't not stopping our grinding Charts climbing records hotter than a tropical climate Making dollars from rhyming honorable like Elijah Mohamed Yo my logic's melodic and melancholic On the corner like I'm selling narcotic and u can tell from the product [Hook 1 : Napoleon Da Legend] I couldn't really explain or fully comprehend the type of energy that was flowing Inside of me at the moment... but it was powerful though [Verse 2 : Napoleon Da Legend] Modern day Elohim say hello to the beam laser green blazers Make a fellow lean pharaoh in the scene pharaoh-gamo dreams Hollywood glamour, matrix and holograms dollars and grands Grimy gentleman grammar pollying with the fam knight Shyamalan slash Charlamagne Charging the game bend a dime over and arching her frame my minds a marginal frame High ranking archbishop with a cardinal slang, hear me talk and explain A light spark in the brain like an arsonist flame narcissistic with dames Feed you god biscuits, lyrical logarithm philosophize with the rhythm Speak with that Solomon's wisdom, Oliver Twist olive oil and fish oil money and whips Contracts negotiable before the money is split Get your mind open close the door on you quick [Hook 2 : Napoleon Da Legend] Yo... this the road less traveled, many embarked on this journey. But very few actually came back know what I'm saying, to tell the story. So I'm tell you like this... when I'm good, I'm good, When I'm bad... I'm better [Verse 3 : Napoleon Da Legend] Living irrational Mamis throwing the vaginal Unimaginable anger unmanageable camera crews never deal with amateur dudes Play my cards like Gambit when I move champion rules, Langston Hughes Samson's in my molecules, dollars to fuel acknowledge my crew nothing but solid dudes Brolic maneuvers make you drown in manure and then I down a Kaluha salute a leader Brutalize the speaker, did a lot of features a lot of MCs dead I built a Mausoleum Drop per diem shows in coliseums dollars you see em fly Mamis polish my semen On a solitary evening, Molotov fever Travel Lodge breeders convincing non believers Rocking sell-out crowds we can em Condoleezzas Fuck the game raw without a condom either

African in New York written by Napoleon Da Legend Verse 1: Don’t rock sandals I rock Timberlands/ wear a skully to the side You can see it in the motions when I walk/ I’m an African in New York See me cruising down the FDR/ With a Dime Piece in the ride You can hear it when I talk/ I’m an Africa in New York Chorus Ohh Ohh – I’m an alien an illegal alien/ I’m an African in New York Ohh Ohh – I’m an alien and my name’s Napoleon/ I’m an African in New York Verse 2: From the village to the streets/ from feeling the heat/ to feeling chills down my spine from the winter breeze/ trynna make my money stretch like a centipede/ and leave a legacy longer than the Kennedy’s/ I need a green card without the legal fees/ my Senegalese connects said he can get it for me legally/ my cousin wired me money to buy him jeans/ trynna figure out how to get a bank account without an ID/ damn things work differently here/ diamonds come out the ground they get it from Tiffany’s here/ and when you’re down and out/ you don’t get no sympathy here/ got a melody in my head like an epiphany here/ man/ I make a penny double/ I make a dime triple/ quadrupling a quarter I’m a man of many hustles/ I’m making solid connects for the dollars and cents/ so when you meet the God Acknowledge and respect Chorus Verse 3: Money makes the man as someone said/ so we hustle to get paid Takes a man to sacrifice for years and smile/ be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say/ be yourself no matter what they say It’s like this yall/ For my brothers on the block/ from the gutter to the top Know we keeping our pockets flooded to the top/ keep our brains sharp from hustling a lot/ open up shop anywhere customers will flock
