[Napoleon Da Legend Verse 1] Magnetic from my shirt to the sneakers I birth heaters like fetuses cause the earth need it The perfect leader circulate this work throughout the regions Not to be confused with the minor leaguers Blood and sweat leaking no time for sleeping I guess that’s the price of freedom [Napoleon Da Legend Verse 2] On my afro-griz Cash flow not from agro-biz Body shots that’ll crack ya ribs Dropping forever the facts with some natural wit Full fledged Pharaohgamo back and forth on the Verrazano My voice forever bless the Seratos Black desperado access granted Bless the planet expanding I’m bout to upset the rankings [Napoleon Da Legend Verse 3] Prophetic meat with a side of lettuce Ya life will improve when you learn to die better Beautiful like the soul of Mary J Blige This is fuel for the people in their everyday lives We the strugglers the government be trying to get us We won’t let him fresh like the new Benz CLS’s Maturing Burkina Faso with Mathurin I ain’t bust in the game to get down with current Or the Status Quo, I’m disturbing it serving em the baddest quote Murderous that’s my assassins flow Invest in myself sit back and let the cash grow Never lacking, I peeped it from a macro Point of view, my purview is my worldview These bum rappers made it their biz to discourage you Never listen to the devil chatter They tried to white-ball still I climb several ladders Friends who I thought was cool I still love em Still I had to cut em out of the picture cause it was clutter Muddying the waters made money across the waters Crossing borders visiting sites being a tourist Prepared for this like Chuck Norris and the pay offs enormous So why let ya potential stay dormant?

[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1] Politic left a fascist death Flashed ya ends karma hit cha then you crash ya bends N to the D. L. that’s the acronym I rather clash with the enemy then clash with friends Prostituting ass rappers trying to catch a trend The saccharin inside they tank you gotta factor in So do the math the facts is in their chapter ends At the time that mines begins, my mind is fringe Thru the ugly and the dark the people are money starved Gotta show strength like the New-Zealand rugby squad Bloody wars so we can have clothes and food They sold us a dream by picking out a chosen few Millionaires chilling for the billionaires class Who also never care that's why we can’t get Medicare passed And it’s clear who first and who last The weak shall inherit the earth in a new era the first shall be last Show strength [DJ TMB scratches] [Napoleon Da Legend verse 2] Decisions hard to make between ya value and ya values Evaluating how you gonna make it thru the vacuum Of morals where sorcerers drop spells on all of us Caught up in a bubble where it’s hard to tell normal is They tried to make me dumb my brain And come down to a train of thought of clowns and lames But I’ve been trained in the arts of Zen My thoughts can bend My body can transcend this realm from a park bench With the strength of Clark Kent I can spark and send An energy wave that can penetrate and char ya skin Figured out, life was deeper than a loss and a win Cloth of a sphinx never getting lost in wind Lost friends bad investments I lost some ends They sold us mad propaganda it’s all a spin But our instinct of survival is strong we icons With sights on the better things in life we keep our head up And show strength

[Napoleon Da Legend verse] Throwing shots from a glass house black out we take the cash route While they flashing for clout we bringing facts out Surrounded by skillful snakes, stacking bills like Bill Gates It’s marvelous and otherwise I’m still great Defacto otherwise exacto in my wallet Plus factor in the fact that my jacket is so flawless Got the devil scheming on everything my team is on They see the Don! I’m akin to the soul Akhenaton And Kenshiro we never listen to Ben Shapiro and identify with Neo Liberal dreams spawn across boroughs And electrify the scene I'm immaculate And if it sounds larger than life that shit is accurate [Toney Boi verse] Lyrics missing*

[Napoleon Da Legend verse] This is god level my train of thought special The whole squad thorough nah we do not settle Sword slice arteries blood on the canvas Unleash my minions flood up ya campus While they try to slander me in slick ways I got techniques to shape the way you die in 6 ways Military style switch blade Sicknature lasers 90s like quotables I pick major phrases My name resonates over the waves like I’m famous From Brooklyn to Copenhagen only dope shit we making [Sicknature verse] Lyrics missing* [Napoleon Da Legend verse] No flashy toys can slap an asteroid off course Gladiator wars suggest u avoid him at cost Never slack off watching y’all get gassed off a little bit A little buzz at interviews all shy and giggling? Catch me at shows with my forehead glistening Electrical disturbances u see the lights flickering? Career extinguisher above the petty bickering Style guaranteed to bust thru the pile like Eric Dickerson [Nejma Nefertiti verse] Lyrics missing*

[Supreme Cerebral verse] Missing* [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Had a bone spur I never caught that growth spurt I chose work shows overseas I sold merch My soul hurt, life can be a cold jerk Still I got my eyes, my ears and my legs thank god they both work Ain't gotta stylized my life for ya been places Just do ya set 30 second rest gym basics Been gracious been embraced vintage Wind breakers One day I make a couple 100k for hitting stages Y’all ain’t seen nothing yet living life in double x Chubby checker grubbing at restaurants cashing chubby checks Backstage shorty rock a slutty dress she know my preference Told her to chill but she don’t listen yo she so aggressive Back to back meetings staggered sleeping patterns I’m a dreamer Visualize the realism still I picture Eden We co-create every moment that we step in Here today gone tomorrow can be over in a second Trying to tell me to wait /motherfucker no I’m gone Fuck ya song, you the type sucking and cucking to get on We don’t do that I just invest, I make my loot back Suleyman I school em on emoluments u knew that The human monument communist you fond of this Who trying to diss the finest got you snorting up a line of this Straight organics out the canister Peep the mechanics got the stamina that’s word From my medical examiner [NapsNdreds verse] Missing*

Get Richer 02:16
[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1] Yo high frequency no 5G So fly slide inside the spot with no ID Cat no drive always try to ride a coattail I got a chick coming you ain’t crashing the hotel Middle of Prague and I’m feeling just a little groggy Drank coffee back from the gym chiseled body No pity parties here homie we work hard Took a leap, first feet a rebirth sparks Since I first started Heads knew when I hit that Something special happened dude couldn’t spit that Street griot intellect C.E.O. flex Neo, Excaliber sword in a text My Cortex muscle full of hustle, my knuckles drag Gorilla style bags of money where the duffle at Whole click official and rich mad talented Hitting switches in the lab, mad scientist [Napoleon Da Legend hook] The game got hard some switched up I just kept getting richer Reading Karl Marx and Krishna I just wanna get richer The game got hard some switched up I just kept getting richer Reading Karl Marx and Krishna I just wanna get richer [Napoleon Da Legend verse 2] Keep my capital active activist Collateral damage action pragmatist Pyramid climber Egyptian scribe You acting like u seen a ghost babe fix ya eyes I’m Anubis met a fly reporter, she a nudist Eating falafels and vegan foods like a Buddhist I don’t say I’m nicer than them I just prove it You can buy co-signs but can’t smother what the truth is Stone face like a putting a mirror to Medusa I deal with guidelines of honor like a Yakusa Red rooster off 2 fifth and if the shoe fits? I’m a wear em proudly until my mood switch Stanley Kubrick stylish when I shoot flix Confidential info not for loose lips You could probably get with it if you was solid We only go by a code of honor do the knowledge [Napoleon Da Legend hook] The game got hard some switched up I just kept getting richer Reading Karl Marx and Krishna I just wanna get richer The game got hard some switched up I just kept getting richer Reading Karl Marx and Krishna I just wanna get richer

People First 02:59
[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1] Emotionless and mathematically going against the odds Address the fraud be my guest you going up against a god Who next to exercise their right I disconnect effective When I Write and flex Me and my tribe connect and speak in dialects I’m a entire threat to corporatists, my politics Might rival yours a child of war How many heads I’m chopping off Dropping classic like the commodores I run the score honky dore Chill with a naughty whore rocking Armani short They copy more from the original charisma shows Took a different road to break like connecting fist to nose Running the pick and roll like Steph Curry thru the defense So many rappers sending shots forgetting who to beef with I gave em speeches helped them travel without a Visa The crowd pleaser charging 40,000 for a feature The one and only, Master of Ceremony I’m goldie Like the homie Ice Cube I’m my own league [Napoleon Da Legend Hook] Only as good my worse as long as I’m walking this earth My soul gonna reflect in my work Not a slave duke respect my worth Sprinkle water for your thirst In my tribe we put the people first Only as good my worse as long as I’m walking this earth My soul gonna reflect in my work Not a slave duke respect my worth Sprinkle water for your thirst In my tribe we put the people first [Napoleon Da Legend verse 2] Automated warfare the course is clear The game remains the players change switching office chairs Neo-liberal promises got us cynical About the system and it’s inherit racism visible By awakened minds blinded by the naked eye Appropriating our style and culture how they plagiarize And water down the substance to commercialize abundance Cause we ain’t nothing but a Bunch of numbers to these number crunchers The world is in a choke hold the climate changing Still it’s so cold under the table money that’s the ghost mode Chasing the dough so we can postpone our inner peace Show boating in between, my dojo was in the streets Don’t mistake the humble when there’s nowhere safe to run to Forced to make decisions that can’t replace or undo And you come to age, everything that fake’ll crumble Falling for the pump fake while u was chasing bundle [Napoleon Da Legend Hook] Only as good my worse as long as I’m walking this earth My soul gonna reflect in my work Not a slave duke respect my worth Sprinkle water for your thirst In my tribe we put the people first Only as good my worse as long as I’m walking this earth My soul gonna reflect in my work Not a slave duke respect my worth Sprinkle water for your thirst In my tribe we put the people first

[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1] Dictator beheader beloved my cadence is blessed The greatest and best the hate is test A plate eggs with organic kale to escalate the treats My guardian angel on the passenger side while we chasing this bread Tax returns require 40 accountants Shorty crashing on my couch got my wifey shouting Black Beard, Africans who racketeered last year Basement billionaires on top roof tops gasping for air Space shuttle Reebok’s floating on the sidewalk Flash about 6 and 7 figures then I might talk Galvanizing populations from post offices On my soap box, watching soap operas frolicking With Moroccan nurses pocket dialed verses American Oligarch copping crocodile purses Quantum physics wallets that politician gossip You can’t listen rocking 80 dollar watches [Napoleon Da Legend hook] Pass customs we some passport gluttons With the cheat codes while these dudes mash more buttons Switch hemispheres, what you know about December summers? Goodbye you bums, we making Dubai numbers Pass customs we some passport gluttons With the cheat codes while these dudes mash more buttons Switch hemispheres, what you know about December summers? Goodbye you bums, we making Dubai numbers [Napoleon Da Legend verse 2] 7 star Hyatt’s beam down to bean town Clean crown, they would say my face was silver screen bound The dream realizers, goal trivializers Tribalist supreme novelist and not gimmick rider Heavy chain costly ask Keith Shockley Beef broccoli Hunan style pornography yo Oda with the "One Piece", Grand Line activist Aggrandize my life yo I stand by the savages Jewels Icey, freeze lava then skate on it Pay homage to the money bag that sunny day profit The cash clicking turn signal blinking Hacking the system with single black women Bout 12 singles winning At the same time streaming I get studied the geniuses "Epi-genetically" trying to figure out what gene it is Portofolio can't be fucked with like sports with Polio Jesus as a teenager: my thoughts is holy yo [Napoleon Da Legend hook] Pass customs we some passport gluttons With the cheat codes while these dudes mash more buttons Switch hemispheres, what you know about December summers? Goodbye you bums, we making Dubai numbers Pass customs we some passport gluttons With the cheat codes while these dudes mash more buttons Switch hemispheres, what you know about December summers? Goodbye you bums, we making Dubai numbers

[Napoleon Da Legend verse] I’m black gold U can try appropriate you can’t copy that glow We stack money like so run the iso Got em digging for the substance some are stuck on hype tho Some might blow then it might blow up in they face It was popping up until narcs showed up to their place Peep the doctrine something u gotta keep some options It’s economics growing mentally is all a process [Hubbs verse] Lyric missing* [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Who else as gifted as me don’t tell me different Dante’s inferno feel thru hell felt the friction Elevated mind like a young Christopher Hitchens Not the old one practical no/ mystical wishes No amount of trophies / can validate the man These cats been a scam trying to re-calibrate the brand United States caliphate we migrate thru state lines Gunplay they entertain to numb brains we stay wise And sharp like a new pair Clarke’s at 8 clock Played the block broke down the mechanics and made em watch They wanna watch us die, we still alive tho Grown man physically mentally still a child tho Stuck in habits u couldn’t shake or put the brakes on Channel it in music change ya life pull an Akon Senegalese wisdom my speech different I had rather get myself free than keep bitching Tapes Vinyl CDs shipping like it’s the 90s Urban safaris cell phones! Paparazzis Sometimes I feel like somebody watching everything I do every move I make that’s means I gotta choose Carefully everything gotta be measured It’s a spiritual warfare that’s before the Armageddon We prepared we know the enemy comes in many forms Then peace feeds serenity and that’s when knowledge is born

[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1] They fabricated lies after sabotaging lives You read it in Bible psalms this climate was prophecized The earth is crying the forest is burning Insomniac middle of the night tossing and turning What’s my place in this whirlwind ? where snakes achieve Honorable folks in line, waiting for a plate to eat Killing our great minds no safe places to speak The only way to go is down once u facing ya peak Ancient teachings black and brown getting racist treatment Chances you might get judged cause of ya facial features We pray to Jesus and pray to Allah we pray to god And read the Buddha, Siddhartha was a straight shooter We was born sick, half of our vision is glitched Looking to some external stimulation to fix With a fixation on the rich, they stealing culture from the poor I was born in war that why I’m a soldier to the core [Napoleon Da Legend hook] While they was thinking I was M.I.A I was staying sucka free I was just making my way All I wanted was a glimpse of what it be like To be on the other side experience what it feel like While they was thinking I was M.I.A I was staying sucka free I was just making my way All I wanted was a glimpse of what it be like To be on the other side experience what it feel like [Napoleon Da Legend verse 2] Pristine water swimming with the stingrays Been brave walking to the beat of my own Jembe Soul of Kinte, masterful sensei with a twin blade I’m in shape strong fist to the jaw make his chin break Disappointed when I see a friend flake but such is life tho I kept going despite of warning signs I’m such a psycho But life is short I’m a speed thru it like Schumacher Live my truth proper keep dropping these jewels throughout the process And move passed the gossip and the politics Breathing in some oxygen from exotic places rocking crowds again Anti-establishment they capping then be cashing in And when you ask my fee, all my struggle got to factor in And while most were faking a few stayed real! And we can tell who playing games and got a "2K" feel I was drinking whiskey they were drinking kool-aid still Throughout the chaos only see the truth when you lay still [Napoleon Da Legend hook] While they was thinking I was M.I.A I was staying sucka free I was just making my way All I wanted was a glimpse of what it be like To be on the other side experience what it feel like While they was thinking I was M.I.A I was staying sucka free I was just making my way All I wanted was a glimpse of what it be like To be on the other side experience what it feel like
