Gold Kimono 01:43
[Napoleon Da Legend verse] I don’t beef with Goats got the chicken and meatloaf Plyometric and Aikido on a speed boat Walking El Camino in kimonos and a thick Filipino That type shit’ll heal ya ego Vinyls by the kilo, busy signals on the land line Shorty rocking intentional tan lines I don’t stand in line, baselines I vandalize My language wise, fans fantasize Standing the test of time, masterpiece I craft is genius Striking while the irons hot, half u cats anemic Ya momma should’ve slap her fetus, that was needed Black Negan back to back, I just brought the bat to beat ya I burnt the fur out her closet I’m for Peta I’m a early riser, my circle solid like Serena’s Williams quadricep, jet crash I’m fly to death Jet lag hey yo I said that I’m nice to death Christ of Nazareth, make sure you get the cash correct Laughing down in Calabassas with a bachelorette I’m at the M.E.T. eating crabs and crepes Classic french breakfast, watching a world class chef crack an egg Call me captain Mecca, I’m never caping though I play a note or two and sprinkle some oregano Me and Giallo paint a gallery I mean I told u so, everything I spoke came to reality

Game Plan 02:44
[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1] Intelligent savage with baggage on my soul tatted A moving target hard to kick like a coke habit William Shatner traveling thru lands beyond Under Armor gear with Eye Candy on the arm Routine traffic stops with cops and they guns are drawn Mind of Syrian civilian kid I’m numb to bombs I run it like Lebron, hold my weight like Cinnabon Buttoned up for meetings they buzzing me up the intercom Descendant of Solomon in Harlem my aura halogen Tour thru colleges dig up this knowledge like archaeologists Low tolerance for dummy who refuse to grow Can never leave ya comfort zone going on cruise control Boris Kudjo, Boutros Boutros, new clothes and new goals These new rappers is Glucose Flew north on Soutwest for that new dough Then it’s South by Southwest in a Northface and Hublot [Napoleon Da Legend Hook x2] You format the universe the way you think And you blocking ya blessings when u say u can’t Paint a picture without a spray can Show and prove execute and don’t share ya game plan [Napoleon Da Legend verse 2] A lot of people quit at 98% percent Stress body aches and rent time wasted making ends With dead end jobs and dead end friends These words will hit the mark like a box that Fedex sends Panda Ex', GMO in the land of the oppress Eating flesh, emotional men / with PMS Ya DNA is mess gotta counterattack the agenda Open ya third eye so the cataract cannot enter Street griot story teller storm sweller born a go getter At the corner store copping a stella as the plot develops World Peace Metta metamorph without the Meta Used to think life was a bitch my world view switch when I met her It takes a fine understanding of the nuance The nooks and crannies, a crook in chess I move my rook uncanny Takes an elevated outlook to understand me Some welcome me with open arms While other countries wanna ban me [Napoleon Da Legend Hook x2] You format the universe the way you think And you blocking ya blessings when u say u can’t Paint a picture without a spray can Show and prove execute and don’t share ya game plan

Beige Whales 03:47
[Napoleon Da Legend] Minute Maid fans gather round the lemonade stands Eliminate the spam and the distractions when I make plan Christian Bale weight it on the fish scale and switch the mail Catch the package run it back like a Rocket Ishmael I make the chick yell get wet that fish filet smell She got us, had sex with my cousin that Michele spell Section 8 tales, complexion of a Beige Whale Violate and death is at wake that’s what my name spell Raise hell like Thanos in the multi verse, hold the work Sold em merch, my connect rocking a John Travolta shirt Spoken word controversial like Flex and Peter Rosenberg Shot you fired flying off my skin like it’s no concern Rule breaker laws get overturned like David Dennison I just made America pay attention to the pen again Full salvo my sentence’ll make a child grow Chances of winning slimmer than the waist of Gwyneth Paltrow [Napoleon Da Legend Chorus] We can choose to do war or we can spread love Shit is exactly what u thought it was You can choose live clean or u can do drugs Shit is exactly what u thought it was Either you follow protocol or you become the plug Shit is exactly what u thought it was [Napoleon Da Legend verse 2] Fela Kuti in a Fila suit I’m still the truth Fois Gras on my bread man they killed a goose Cabernet this ain’t Fabregé, doubling the average pay From Spain to Dublin in a half a day You the peep the math I play They praying they can catch my wave It’s a fact that the vast majority infatuate Congratulations Po, you made it thru the fray Relaxing in a whirlpool with two babes to rejuvenate My mood was gray it took about 5 to recuperate The deal I got on the table worth about what Bradley Cooper make Filipino lunches, Peligrino numbers Got me Gassed up, add the math up, I see more hundreds Money bag emoji symbols, Moby Dick and Kimbo Switch my lingo, every single every chick is single It’s hard to pick a single, I’m Spartacus and Ringo Intercontinental ride an Uber Lincoln Continental Can pimp a dominatrix bomb the matrix It’s time to mate, I’m like a caveman my mind is ancient Don’t got shit to prove, this is just for confirmation Me and the goats we all share the common denominator I make it easy like Suge Knight, DV Khrist Art of War, how he win the battle never seen him fight? I keep it light shake ya hand I try to be polite I can sneeze extinguish ya whole species like a meteorite [Napoleon Da Legend Chorus] We can choose to do war or we can spread love Shit is exactly what u thought it was You can choose live clean or u can do drugs Shit is exactly what u thought it was Either you follow protocol or you become the plug Shit is exactly what u thought it was

I give it straight like the trajectory of a stray to a bystander Refuse to walk on all fours I rather die standing Trying to live to a standard that wasn’t meant for mine I live my life to the fullest by keeping death in mind My people lost how much does peace and freedom cost How do I chase money without losing my soul to an evil source? My people get mocked and laughed at Shot and slapped at Worldstar is a joke gotta get passed that Bottles in hand spending dollars on brands Riding on dollar vans and only seen ya daughter through a sonogram No father since our forefathers Living with no knowledge of self but we the most stylish So childish, celebrating being broke and selling dope Hell is cold the devil welcomes you to sell ya soul Make ya record blow have u sounding silly yo Thinking you a goon but you a coon looking clownish in ya video Six lane highway that leads straight to a jail cell Police trained well while the drugs hitting ya brain cells Hoes in the Poconos, coke in our nose and broken hopes it’s a slope, We at the bottom on this totem pole My soul is sad, bottom of the social ladder We pros at acting like shit all good life is a prophylactic You don’t build yourself by hating someone else We all want the same thing it’s everybody for themselves I’m tired of fighting against my own common sense is gone Showing dominance with chrome life turned my heart to stone Halogen dome, born only to create starving for years, desperation was the only food we ate No one taught us to be great our role models were pimps Drug dealers, blood spillers, slug peelers So fuck feelings, it tough living when you failing With no road maps or direction in the ocean while you sailing [Napoleon Da Legend Chorus] On the road to riches and diamond rings This the sacrifice we make just to live X4 [Napoleon Da Legend verse 2] Companies are making money off us Our moral compass is off Record companies is making offers like slaves in auctions They warned us in the past to take precaution I’m lost already kid I just wanna save my offspring So I talk it from the heart and share my life with you Much rather that then fight with you The right situation will have u doing dumb shit Got me thinking of my crew in D.C., I used to run with I had to motivate out and change my path the youth in the street play with guns like a game of laser tag, got a taste of that Bitterness lingered inside my mouth Crib to crib, body tired, surfing on another couch Back spasms from playing ball on cement Always worked for mine While some would get it all on the strength now they all convinced Trying to figure out the magic pill but How you gonna get the mass to feel you when you lack the real? And I just spoke cataloguing all my soul in the bars From the days of analogue tapes when I rolled in the car Soul of a star not celebrities the ones in the sky We only show appreciation when one of us dies Numbers lie, so don’t believe all you hear It’s politics a lot of tricks Knowledge without any wisdom’s nonsense Selfish and divided, self-entitled They call us entertainers never recognized myself in the title My brain itself is idle, that’s when the devil enters How do I put myself first without becoming self centered? Feel like someone else everytime I hear Myself get mentioned like there’s something Over me staring from the next dimention It’s... puzzling sometimes I think about it Music’s too precious and I know that I can’t live without it Let it resonate like bass in section 8 I just pray and leave the negative for yesterday [Napoleon Da Legend Chorus] On the road to riches and diamond rings This the sacrifice we make just to live X4

Kremlin 03:01
[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1] Salutations to the savages and scavengers Learned my ethics from the traffickers Society treats us like pathogens like Spirit passengers Trying to patch a broken past like the path of Anakin Jedi mindstate on a red eye overnight on a wake Even a small oversight can leave you slain Looking for my Lois Lane, traveled down the lowest lane 5’6 but I got the strength of a Samoan frame By now you know the name you seen the picture the poet paints Pitching this cocaine with a poker face and no shame Code name Gamo got a chick to clip toenails My weight broke the scale so many wait and let it go stale No sales, you get the full price, pull a heist This year I’m getting that Pulitzer Prize winner hype Music blogs spin it right, dim the lights These rappers Vanilla Ice, I’m Attila with a knife Drinking Miller lite [Napoleon Da Legend verse 2] At the Kremlin looking splendid like I’m trying na get elected My whip electric ten chicks around me looking eccentric I set the benchmark u talking shit from the bench paul No guest star I slide like Cholesterol and make ya chest stall Hack in the system like Draymond green Got my game on these pages put my name on memes Drinking chivas playing "rock, paper, scissors" The pot roast delicious, paparazzi's taking pictures Media whores surrounding, I’m just a meteor Trips to Singapore, you never seen a king before Christian Dior listening to Bjork, simmer the chicken broth Battling stress, I got a million thoughts Sicillian cloth, persecute the prophet lift the cross Piss em off when u smile: that’ll kill em sof ... Lauryn Hill flip, human with a kill switch While they popping bottles behind velvet ropes so they can feel rich

Burden 02:31
[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1] Living broke is like watching a film that's out of focus They clipped a note right on his door that’s the eviction notice Down on his luck lost his job feeling kind of stuck D.U.I. lost his license, he used to ride a truck Girlfriend and two kids looking at him like What we gonna eat tonight? baby crying everybody tight Chain smoking and pacing in front the building Stressed and feeling like he’s disappointing his children Fuck it, he bout to rob a store, decision made Pistol on his waist, wild grimace on face Automatic door slides open, as he slides in toting Loud sound, bystander drops his bottle and broke it Shoots him off the reflex the bullet checked em Time stopped arm extended black smif n wessun Half drunk, left him laying in a puddle off blood God damn, dashing out the store like what the fuck? [Napoleon Da Legend verse 2] Crazy work ethic, educated man of ethics Well-respected at work, his smile infectious Doubled his goal today bout to go home and meditate To get his head straight spotify streaming Etta James Loud headphones in the drug store, copped a Guinness Got all his ducks lined up and feeling optimistic He hears a woman gasping Dude with a black jackets toting a canon walks in like assassin The shock hit him dropped his bottle on the store floor Cocked the 44 shot em and took off his jaw Looking at hands bloody he hits the ground without a sound And see his soul elevating from his crown Vision out of focus as the colors fade to light He hears his kids voice and sees the face of his wife As his heart slowly tapers floating towards the holy sacred If sleep is the cousin of death that statements overrated
