[Hook x2]
Had to create my own lane
Had to make sure I wasn’t in my own way
Strap up my sneaks up man you know how I play
I take suckers out like y’all everyday... Chicago bulls
[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
This ain’t the mainstream flow
This the main street flow
Triple H.D. Triple H, A.P.O.
Got a worldwide base and it’s never been a case when
You caught us slipping any type of situation
Unshakable will remember when I used to train and do drills
Practicing ball handling skills
Close to corners where they sold drugs at
I knew I never wanna touch that
Cause that would mean jail or bloodbath
Even back then I loved rap, dope loops and baselines
In and out quick spin move from the baseline
For me it was the same thing adrenaline rush
I loved the attention it gave me and the feminine touch
From these girls on the stands watching and my mans plotting
To take over the music game and crash the billboard
Like Dennis Rodman
Chicago Bulls 96
The truth’ll pull the wool off ya eyes mighty quick and I
[Hook x2]
Had to create my own lane
Had to make sure I wasn’t in my own way
Strap up my sneaks up man you know how I play
I take suckers out like y’all everyday... Chicago bulls
[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
A 1000 bars and a 1000 jump shots
T and Alseny waiting for me at the bus stop
We hit the pavement game face on going to war
Like when Mike Tyson walked in the ring u knew it was on
Like when Denzel and Ray Allen were going at it
I took a pounding but I still made it to the basket
Point game I wasn’t afraid to take the final shot
I took my fate in the palm of my hand and wherever I land
I accept it like a man does I was taught
By the elders don’t caught up in ya hype
And the shelter of the comfort zone
The magic happens you leave it law of attraction that’s the secret
I did it bout 1000 millions time for u seen it
If I’m knocked down I’m reborn it’s nothing for a Phoenix
Sizing up the defense guarded by Gerald Wilkins
Dip crossover stepback then I sinked it
[Hook x2]
Had to create my own lane
Had to make sure I wasn’t in my own way
Strap up my sneaks up man you know how I play
I take suckers out like y’all everyday... Chicago bulls

Yo Po what you been to?
Just chilling watching interviews of elders I look up to
Wake up, exercize, meditate a little
Moderate my peaks and valleys somewhere in the middle
How are you?
Just as focus as you
Strategizing on my moves
Yea I see god you know what to do
My fanbase grew in France did a show with Jeru
Drinking on Grey goose like if it was 2002
You made great moves
Dropping projects like they dropping singles
They so distracted keeping attention is not simple
Doing shows overseas man it opened my mind
After the show four of em told they drove 100 miles
That’s kind of deep but lately king I find it hard sleep
Hey yo pardon me
You seen that Miles Davis documentary?
That dude look ya pops though
Yea you lying bro
I love to study greatness it makes my mind grow
You never stop though these songs keep flowing out
Part of me’s competitive son
I love showing out
I heard the shorty on T.V. want her back blown out
These politicians pussy like they got they back bone out
Remember back in LA?
We got our ass throw ass
The hotel for being loud we took back road out?
Word duke those were days man
Trying mad shit out just hoping it pays man
Some many mistakes and years just to find my pace
My hearts was never in the club
I’m more diamond and spade?
I’m in a good space, mentally I’m in good place
It took a long time for me to get there and learn to live there
Glimpses of Nivarna it’s a bit rare
I found Bits and pieces of myself and I put together
I’m in a good space, mentally I’m in good place
It took a long time for me to get there and learn to live there
Glimpses of Nivarna it’s a bit rare
I found Bits and pieces of myself and I put together
What’s in the plans for you?
You know the answer duke
Cop land, build a base there and plant some food
It’s all advancement all these firms got us fooled
Plus conspiracy theorists peddling paranoid moods
I just seek truth and speak to them you been a friend
Through the thick and the thin you stayed real and never bent
The Devil henchmen gonna talk, but never mind them
Write a bars like it’s ya last that's how you remind them
They wanna triple 6 reverse it then triple 9 them
These fake deep ass Youtubers is simple minded
We just shatter the charismatic facades of these frauds
And pay homage to the true greats who deserve the applause
So many mirages up late midnight maurauding
Cop me a bag of chips ya pardon I need some vodka
A fifth will do you know how you get on these booze
Oh yo you right man I got it in check I’m in the mood
For a little a celebration’s been a year of elevation
Was exploited by the game now we getting reperations
Now you back looking like us and shining like such
Composed and never letting these emotions gas you up
Just growing like the Amazon forest with no humans
Sacrificing what would the world be without ya music
That’s a good point I never thought of it like that
It’s just what I do when I wake up, I live like that
I’m in a good space, mentally I’m in good place
It took a long time for me to get there and learn to live there
Glimpses of Nivarna it’s a bit rare
I found Bits and pieces of myself and I put together
I’m in a good space, mentally I’m in good place
It took a long time for me to get there and learn to live there
Glimpses of Nivarna it’s a bit rare
I found Bits and pieces of myself and I put together

Danced with the Devil

Cinema verité, say the things they never say
Poet emeritus survive drama like Mary J
Heard rapper is selling out bending over like Sara Jay
Gerimandering culture like every single day
May I kick a little something for the heads
Who need this motivation to make it until tomorrow
Here’s a blueprint you can follow
Without rubbing on a tree bark like showtime at the Apollo
Manufactured images but they body stay hollow
Empty shells they market and sell you like bottle of
Ciroc and spring water and commodify ya pain
If your beauty standard don’t match they can modify ya frame
Surgery and hormones perjury thats heard up in ya flow though
Prototype got you posing in these photos
They bout to sell us air soon along with a pair of shoes
Stars catapulted to the sky with no parachutes
The mirrors and the smoke the sharp witted like Cyrano
De Bergerac who then peddle lies to cheers of joy
Ya idols could be ya very worse influencers
Contaminating minds like the Spanish influenza
The other night, I danced with the devil
Who made a promise to make me advance a few levels
Dug up jewels with a shovel found skeletons
Compromising information deemed sensitive
The other night, I danced with the devil
Who made a promise to make me advance a few levels
Dug up jewels with a shovel found skeletons
Compromising information deemed sensitive
Fortune are made
Crime revealed at a later date
How they got there?
Foul play there’s no doubt it
We just products that they move around the chess board
Design they strategy to expert levels before they export
Watching you from next door can easily get x’ed off
You just became another public figure they can extort
Made 3 consecutive right turns to see who’s following
Three cats from Malawi looking sus inside the gallery
When money gets involved that’s when shady shit starts
Paranoid even ya friends start looking like the narcs
Feeling stalked I need to chill out relax and cop a room out of town
Gather my thoughts for I back round
Is the stress worth it?
How can this success have you hurting?
Images of living lavish but the real is less perfect?
But that’s a choice could have stayed anonymous right
I went towards the light
big stages with my logo shining bright?
Pros and cons
When you pro gotta take the cons
Neo-cointelpro rooks bishops and the paws
Always a bigger fish up in the pond and we all play a role
Daily it’s a fight to save ya soul
The other night, I danced with the devil
Who made a promise to make me advance a few levels
Dug up jewels with a shovel found skeletons
Compromising information deemed sensitive
The other night, I danced with the devil
Who made a promise to make me advance a few levels
Dug up jewels with a shovel found skeletons
Compromising information
Deemed relevant a yo when you play this game
It’s a choice
You know what you getting into
You know what you wanna get out of it
So move accordingly
Put up or shut up
Don’t make decisions out of emotions or anger or nothing like that
Keep a clear head
Map out strategize write shit down
Execute and be great
Anything less you just taking up space

[Nejma Nefertiti verse]
Nefertiti the terrible None comparable
Launch projectiles always re-up got a barrel full
You rappers clerical go back to the office
Y’all hysterical can’t even bounce a stem it’s unbearable
Shits numerical on a scale 1 to 10 you irreparable
Like a divorced relationship once marital
You need a miracle to ever get a feature I’m unavailable
To all you fuck boys with ya parables
I’m throwing marigolds on top of ya grave, couldn’t be saved
Still I was nice despite the garbage you made
It’s a shame you underground with nothing to claim
We better off without you in this Hip Hop game
I’m marvelous and wondrous Queen Pharaoh thunderous
I see ya weakness you scared speechless
Do not repeat this that verse you sent me, had to delete it
Pressed play my ears just started bleeding
[Brian Bars Burns verse]
Lyrically gifted, this lyrical linguistics
My destiny manifested, only real emcees spit this
Inspired and uplifted when I move through life mazes
As soon the mic in my hand my vibration raises
Eradicating these devils ima only tell them one time
Can’t drown me in the darkness this is eternal sunshine
Like Jay Elect but all you new rappers y’all sound pathetic
Give ‘em this Critical Beatdown like Ultramagnetic
Reminisce on them days we use to cypher in the halls
On my mission like Scout Regiment outside of the walls
I come from royal blood descendant of kings and queens
This for ancestors who paved the way cause I’m their wildest dreams
Triple B, Napoleon Da Legend, Queen Nefertiti
Represent true Hip-Hop spray the walls with graffiti
Peace to my people who never gave up still believing
Just know I’m thinking bout you like Aretha day dreaming
[Napoleon Da Legend Hook x2]
How you call better than the best?
That's who we are
We don't jack your little bars
We Black Holes that a eat your little stars
You can wish upon a star
You still gonna die
[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
Claiming you underground?
You underdeveloped
And underwhelming
Under the influence with nothing under the helmet
I came up under the under study I’m humble and godly
With the understanding of light that lies under the body
Within the minds eyes these niggas is quasi, twice as
Powerful, when I slap you up you a light flash
Bars come with ice packs, ointments and Icy Hot
Put an ivy leaguer on an IV, my price is high
Psychologically collosus I kill imposters
Been building since the days of anacostia with animal conscious
Hannibal Barca on mechanical marches
I'm not amicable I'm manic got anger management problems
No man can stop em in the multi verse the ultimate curse
The ex-chauvinist had to kick the bros to the curb
The jokes on you they laugh at you they making fun of you
That’s the last image you seen as your life flash in front of you
[Sicknature verse]
I´ll snatch a banging beat and have it for lunch
Rappers are panicking cause every word I spit rams like a truck
Thru their front door leaving their palaces crushed
They be like holy shit like Evangelist dung
Ain´t no cancelling us, we bring flammable tongues
Breathe fire and jam the clock
Make time stand still, still they know what time it is when I bust
I´m the future and their flux capacitor fucked
So they look into the past and wonder
Why the fuck they were passing him up
While corny rappers are bathing in solar rays
I´m underground, but I can still dump their careers into a lonely grave
I´ll still rap when I´m old and gray and when I access the holy place
I´ll come back as a ghost and start rapping through Oda Mae
I roll with my bredrin Napoleon Da Legend
Supa Kaiju, we´re supermassive, the ultimate weapon
We keep eating stars for breakfast, for lunch and for dinner
Cause an undying hunger rumbles within us
[Napoleon Da Legend Hook x2]
How you call better than the best?
That's who we are
We don't jack your little bars
We Black Holes that a eat your little stars
You can wish upon a star
You still gonna die

I'm a hustla
Hey yo everybody know
I’m out to get the dough
Run the play with x and O’s you know the
Hustla
Yea The dude who got it mapped out
They tried to barricade the front I take the back route
Hustla
Thinking of master plan
Purchase land shake hands
Then we tax the man
Hustla
Whichever it go
I'm a find a way however though
Hoax and fantasies, sold to you as if it was organically
Produced damaging the fabric of the social canope
Planting seeds, single-handledy challenged establishment
To them we just a pathogen like Nazis they be gassing us
Restricting us in a chamber, for them we interchangeable
To appease representation, they’ll fuck around and save a few
Born to survive the corner guys is bonified
Invulnerable nah, they still hoping we die
Getting paid, through verbal intercourse like Ghost, Rae and Nas
We don’t say goodbye took a master course on staying alive
This ain’t a hash tag movement this for CashApp users
Get some gas masks and hazmats the tarmac fuming
Mentally listed, every single friend of mine who scheming
And it’s blending in my psyche like a gemini procedure
Nip it at the root cause many a kill for a sip of that juice
Like in the Pac film I live that rule cause I’m a
I'm a hustla
Hey yo everybody know
I’m out to get the dough
Run the play with x and O’s you know the
Hustla
Yea The dude who got it mapped out
They tried to barricade the front I take the back route
Hustla
Thinking of master plan
Purchase land shake hands
Then we tax the man
Hustla
Whichever it go
I'm a find a way however though
Keepers guarding the gates
Some got shot in the face
For blocking my way was blackballed got caught in a case
Docking my pay? I ain’t with that, pull the blick out and nix that
Either you box or think out the box, go head and mix that
Heracles they barricade the street when we speak
I'm a make em nervous cause I got a pocket of full of receipts
Battering ramp with a battery back patented that
Patting my back my patterns adapt, to the stabs in the back
Breaking through, generational curses and several purges
The mythology they try to sell us I no longer purchase
You can break this down like bible verses or Koran Surahs
In the Torah they wrote about his divine courage
The collossus of Rhodes philosopher’s goat
Hieronymous Nostradamus, demolish the quo
Status, they don’t want no static or any type of beef
Self-righteous on my square I got the right to be
I'm a hustla
Hey yo everybody know
I’m out to get the dough
Run the play with x and O’s you know the
Hustla
Yea The dude who got it mapped out
They tried to barricade the front I take the back route
Hustla
Thinking of master plan
Purchase land shake hands
Then we tax the man
Hustla
Whichever it go
I'm a find a way however though

Where does love go?
When the hate is being amplified
Swatikas aimed at the culture being vandalized
They want us in our place, mad when they see us live
Blinded from the realism trying to put some fear in us
Spewing on about Qanon and this and that
In the midst of a huge money heist by these aristocrats
Confirmation bias it’s easy to miss the facts
These rappers only wanna sell records they’ll never hit you back
Why would they tell truth if it’s not what u wanna hear?
The Information Age it’s hard to get ya conscious clear
When hopelessness in the air we look saviors
And imaginary heros it’s easy to hate our neighbors
And it’s weird moment the world is polarized
They hate to see us organize
They told us lies for years until they own demise
You’ll feel hallow chasing dollars and these followers
Model citizens and model chicks selling you halogen
A child born in this world confused hurled in the chaos
Clouding judgment like concussion to the brain
Junior Seau
What we left em with a terrain that’s so desolate
Where the wealth is hoarded at the top and they say it’s a deficit
Debt isn't real unless you poor or lower class
When these big companies fail they get bailed with a load of cash
These are the sober facts no science fiction
You fell in love with some liars u in denial listen
You on the wrong channel those that paint the false narratives
That information fast food you consume and later sharing it
Slippery a parallel slope, the day the hell froze
Tapping cell phones ya girl is Cointelpro
And just told on yourself bro no snitch needed
They so conceited till they lose they be like yo thats cheating
Sowing seeds in this cruel system that’s violent towards us
They ain’t even gotta shoot us they keep flashing dollars towards us

Great mind shine alike bright like 8 diamonds
This is not the slave minded we ain’t on the same timing
When the empire strikes back we return like some Jedi’s
And run em off the road like a semi
Great mind shine alike bright like 8 diamonds
This is not the slave minded we ain’t on the same timing
When the empire strikes back we return like some Jedi’s
And run em off the road like a semi
Used to study Bruce Lee and all the Van Dam movies
Shaolin Wu-Tang and the Jackie Chan movies
Smoke screen ninjas and shinobi acrobatics
The philosophy was African we broke the mathematics
Solid state brain drivers turn to train robbers
Soon as your name popping turn to pill popping name dropper
It’s same process to brain wash us
Chaining us to a logic meant to erase knowlege
And replace with slave mentality to chase the bag
Celebrating fatalities, making tapes to brag
The labels love it, they paying the youth to go extreme
No wonder why we grow up with such a low-esteem
Same tropes with social media, they control the memes
They control the means! of production for the fiends
So I blast em with an ultraviolet beam on they noggin
When it’s they time to go I’m a be the one who’s knocking
Great mind shine alike bright like 8 diamonds
This is not the slave minded we ain’t on the same timing
When the empire strikes back we return like some Jedi’s
And run em off the road like a semi
Great mind shine alike bright like 8 diamonds
This is not the slave minded we ain’t on the same timing
When the empire strikes back we return like some Jedi’s
And run em off the road like a semi

[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1]
Yo cold bricks Qanon conspiracies and globalist
Insecure chauvinist selling us fake utopias
Corrupt cops, dope fiends with eyes bloodshot
Stuck in a box yo Chubb Rock I'm where the buck stops
Bunch nut jobs pause that catch me where boss that
The bag here toss that I spend it and then I’m off that
Boarding pass customs at the border bags pass
Bought a bad batch on the corner caught a bad rap
Flag that, fly the flag half mast then caught a flashback
My last laugh caused me backlash carry a black flag
I’m passed that rapper shit bunch is scared to collab with it
Bullets travel to his head and come right out the back of him
Life and death we shrug it off hypocrits is getting rich
While the honest innocent get scammed up out they benefit
It’s just another day another dumb fuck rapping
While guns full of dum dums blasting
[Napoleon Da Legend hook]
We Living in the last days
Where they talk about ya bank account
Before they talk about your ways
We living in the last days
Where they count how many records you sold
Before they talk about your ways
We living in the last days
Where they checking on the brands your wear
Before they talk about your ways
Where they talk about the chicks you smash
Before they talk about your ways
[Napoleon Da Legend verse 2]
Where they rather fight a culture war
Dealers beefing over blocks like in Baltimore
Where the groups that more vulnerable’s the most hated
The only quotable’s that’s quoted from the most famous
Committed acts of violence that’s the most heinous
Cancer cells multiply in ya body cause ya soul hates it
Society’s a mess it’s a hex
Like a reality show we dying to see what’s next
Drunk bodies sleeping on steps
While they keep sheep sheepish on
We sleeping on self
While detectives keep creeping on and scheming on the set
Over the flag on which we bleeding on they eating on our flesh
Meanwhile our heart keeps beating on we keeping on the left while they keeping and keeping thieving I keep heat on the deck cause
[Napoleon Da Legend hook]
We Living in the last days
Where they talk about ya bank account
Before they talk about your ways
We living in the last days
Where they count how many records you sold
Before they talk about your ways
We living in the last days
Where they checking on the brands your wear
Before they talk about your ways
Where they talk about the chicks you smash
Before they talk about your ways

[Sicknature verse]
I still look up to you, a fan of the brand that you built
Your name rang bells when I was kinda practicing still
I got better at producing while you mastered the skill
No one had madder beats than Madness 4 Real
Yo, you came from my home, but were in global beast mode
Produced for Ice Cube, your beats were below zero
And you showed how to Heat It Up with Rakim
I was barely an MC when you produced tracks for MC Ren
You were a star and you moved like a comet
I was programmed wrong till you and Nick introduced me to Logic
You were even poppin locally
Still you made time to support and to record my vocals even though I was a nobody
Brought me on stage when I was still rough around the edges
Cause you never gave a f*ck about my errors
You were solid, it´s a pleasure to know that your sound will live forever
Don´t know if danish hip-hop will ever house a bigger legend
[Napoleon Da Legend hook]
As you sleep in eternal perfection
Back on earth we can still feel ya essence
Today we honor and mourn you
And if you grieving a loss this for you
As you sleep in eternal perfection
Back on earth we can still feel ya essence
Today we honor and mourn you
And if you grieving a loss this for you
[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
When you lose a loved one
Ya soul goes through the gutter
A week apart I lost another two brothers
Michael Brooks and Jay Rukkus
Too young to be gone
Too good to be part of this world’s like a part of me gone
And there’s covid
Chadwick Boseman and Kobe
John Thompson 2020 been heavy on my conscious
How you mourn and grieve properly
When you see Arbery and Floyd die?
Breonna Taylor shot in her sleep
A fragile heartbeat can be the death or life of us
Yet we fight amongst ourselves for the right to just
Live a life decent and breath fresh air from the leaves
Nobody’s promised the next day tomorrow’s not guaranteed
So we honor those who passed cause this life is a flash
In spite of being sad I realize what I have
And my heart goes to those who got more pain to go through
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel remain hopeful
[Napoleon Da Legend hook]
As you sleep in eternal perfection
Back on earth we can still feel ya essence
Today we honor and mourn you
And if you grieving a loss this for you
As you sleep in eternal perfection
Back on earth we can still feel ya essence
Today we honor and mourn you
And if you grieving a loss this for you

Turmeric and ginseng, ginger elixir
Add some lemon Manuka Honey all up in the mixture
Alkaline vitality water from osmosis
For clear focus foraging for herbs in the forest
Dandelions from a friend of mines’ garden
Ya body’s vehicle needs fuels so many feed it with some garbage
Organic produce Apple cider vinegar
Some rather be so cynical but life is not a cinema
Pull up bar in front the living room door
We stay ready cause we groomed just from us living thru war
Healthy is new balling shorty showed me that blood work
Ya cholesterol levels is off she looking at me butthurt
Yo but truthfully the mood is now to boost up our immunity
Ya feed ya children junkfood got em fat before their puberty
That’s not natural here pop a CBD capsule
Top off my EBT while bumping BBD album
Boost my immunity brolic like Broc Lesner
Rock a bye baby you ain’t stopping my blessings
Cop me a salad or two supreme lettuce
Omega 3 and walnut the fish without the feathers
Boost my immunity brolic like Broc Lesner
Rock a bye baby you ain’t stopping my blessings
Cop me a salad or two supreme lettuce
Omega 3 and walnut the fish without the feathers
This wise men told me control you can
Let the rest go
Get ya a healthy mental diet
Don’t let ya head grow with success and everything come with it
The cake and girls
Walking around with the weight of world
Stress affecting the blood pressure, my girlfriend is mad
She ain’t heard from me for two days plus I forgot her birthday
Connecting flight late got me running through the terminal
No sleep on both feet standing on my vertical
100,000 calculations heart palpitations
Feeling foul sensations yet all my accolades amazing
Wear and tear on the body and the mind real
Full circle catch u up in the end like Seinfield
Keep up my divine shield vegetable juice
Party over send the message to the rest of the crew
Health first cause that beat can wait that feature can wait
These foul diseases on the prowl we gotta keep em away
Boost my immunity brolic like Broc Lesner
Rock a bye baby you ain’t stopping my blessings
Cop me a salad or two supreme lettuce
Omega 3 and walnut the fish without the feathers
Boost my immunity brolic like Broc Lesner
Rock a bye baby you ain’t stopping my blessings
Cop me a salad or two supreme lettuce
Omega 3 and walnut the fish without the feathers
