[DJ DJEL Scratches] [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Frank dux out flank ya Langston Hughes Hit em with left now my hands are bruises Park dweller turned art seller fuck that I’m on the tarmac ya vinyl hit the junkyard stash This the dark mass went to war without a dog tag I talk that shit that make fault lines crack This is upscale crack, updated from the molly rap Make they weak hearts palpitate during the polygraph Pinnacle great spin kick to the face Spike ya chemicals Kenshiro with identical fate The death touch! from the spinal cord to vital organs Last dance in the final quarter turn to Michael Jordan Bright swordsman meditate when I’m not recording This is not that dumb shit some of y’all be sporting I'm enormous make a scene on the block the cop swarming This is not norm, warning shot pop like Warner I’m what the doctor ordered rather Dre or Martin Luther I cant lose like Parker Lewis I spark the future the target remover after that the carcass mover The darker buddha, the Nikki Larson sharp shooter Peak rap Deepak Chopra eating okra Drunken style monkey punch, got them leaning over Hit the canvas then it’s back to city transit Fame and Billy Danz kid I give the city anthems So many to moves make while these rumors accumulate Hit em with Hadokens from Akuma in the Kumate

Full Nelson 03:30
[Napoleon Da Legend verse] Was never less welcomed, put the game in a full Nelson Pitbull, knocked em off the pulpit you smelled it Sulfur from the devil skin? Melvin Flynt Slash Meryl Lynch get ya credibility lynched I’m in out in Philly bent Trocadero pockets full of euros Superhero premiered my last project down in Evo My only validation is the head bobbing action Y’all can keep the rest it’s just another check I’m cashing Crypto, Cash App, stock option purchases Vinyls being pressed up got fans copping merch and shit Yo I’m that person Po, shout out to the nurses Who’d a thought I’d make a living just knocking out verses Power level off the grid I’m just the maxed out version Find the dude from the last bout passed out hurting Meanwhile down in sweat shops some passed out working While we showing off our threads some are assed-out cursed in a world where Mostly narcissism is respected Come up with a gimmick for the crowd to be receptive Everything perception, success also Step like Ronaldo make the rock hit the net also [Napoleon Da Legend chorus] This is personal my time on earth is only limited Hit a few roadblocks on my path then I pivoted it The most blessed to be breathing inside my flesh Tell yourself I made it this far I’m proud of myself This is personal my time on earth is only limited Hit a few roadblocks on my path then I pivoted it The most blessed to be breathing inside my flesh Tell yourself I made it this far I’m proud of myself [Napoleon Da Legend verse] This is stimulus real shit no frivolous lies Rhythm is wise retro fitted with unlimited vibes A prophet on the planet my product got em all panicked Got em all chanting got em tuning in from all channels Andy Worhol, Campbell soup rappers needs fixing I see em lip syncing in path of least resistance Peace to the living people to those passed on we don’t last long Getting a little buzz and then we fast gone This our last bond thru vibes we link like side chicks Eclipse the fly shit we only spit live shit And logic, logistics point A to point B Understand human nature you can’t disappoint me Shoes worn out, hearts been torn out Knowledge born out good pussy been blown out You ain’t inventing nothing Planets and the stars have been there Creation is god from the start every artist been there Good and tragic but I live there don’t smoke cigarettes Only smoke top tier artists go pick the best Swish when it hit the net algorithms glitches It it wasn’t me already man I’d go pay admission [Napoleon Da Legend chorus] This is personal my time on earth is only limited Hit a few roadblocks on my path then I pivoted it The most blessed to be breathing inside my flesh Tell yourself I made it this far I’m proud of myself This is personal my time on earth is only limited Hit a few roadblocks on my path then I pivoted it The most blessed to be breathing inside my flesh Tell yourself I made it this far I’m proud of myself

Black Mirror 02:44
[Napoleon Da Legend verse] I seen skid marks real life sharks no Pixar Slick cars fights sparking off where the Knicks are Life’s a puzzle like Jigsaw would hang where the chicks are Shooters on deck guns by they side like Spliff star Huge egos new vehicles and fly threads on us Bread on us better swim fast and never tread on us Connects on us pectoral muscles is flexing on him Hit a town, shut it down, and we gone the next morning My nature is amazing though as far as entertainment go I claimed a role, already created my own! chamber though Capable of great feats a lot of weight on my feet Prayed on my knees to had the strength to make thru these Times of unease and crisis guns squeeze and fire spit Lungs breath hostile air and hunger breeds inside of him However long they front for I probably inspire them He never changed who he was and he still made it in spite of him [Napoleon Da Legend Chorus] When I look at myself in the mirror I who do I see? Who do I see? When you look at yourself in the mirror you who do you see? Who do you see? When I look at myself in the mirror I who do I see? Who do I see? When you look at yourself in the mirror ya who do you see? Who do you see? [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Eloheem emo nah, more like Imhotep My ego mean I see no threats I be low key relocate somewhere OT Homie known to OD on VSOP SEO’s popping on the searches hopping on birds another artist on verge Wallets on surge rocket launch thru the earth nonchalant since birth Show u how this renaissance work never resting on my laurels only flexing cause it’s morals Shorty sexy in her floral dress sexing me with oral Peep my vortex I’m stepping through a portal grand theft auto life’s Heading to a next level normal Buzz growing like a hormone shot Back in the day in DC I got almost shot At the Gogo spot U know my logo hock, it’s got a crown in it If u wanna make it In This game u gotta drown in it [Napoleon Da Legend Chorus] When I look at myself in the mirror I who do I see? Who do I see? When you look at yourself in the mirror you who do you see? Who do you see? When I look at myself in the mirror I who do I see? Who do I see? When you look at yourself in the mirror ya who do you see? Who do you see?

[Napoleon Da Legend verse] Archetype alpha, Parkside marauder Hard like carbonite still the sharpest knife in Gotham Knock out artist give ya jawline a problem Carlyle cigar lounge bags in the pocket Holes in my socks black mahogany wallets Joe exotic eye of the tiger u probably caught it By product of these Bi-partisan arguments Peep the dichotomy it’s hard to stay positive Talked down by the cops and bogged down by the stress Respiratory diseases got our lungs out of breath It’s a death trap some losing lives some, losing vibes don’t nobody wanna be on the losing side Spikes in suicides mental health not helped by Gucci belts it's everybody do for self And you can tell who really authentic and who’s a joke I don’t wanna die surrounded by stupid folk [Napoleon Da Legend chorus] They only gave me one life I’m a use it to the maximum Go all out man I’m a bask in it Next year double the fee man I’m a tax em Alpha wolves they eat cows thats factual They only gave me one life I’m a use it to the maximum Go all out man I’m a bask in it Next year double the fee man I’m a tax em Alpha wolves they eat cows thats factual

Bolo Yeung 02:49
[Napoleon Da Legend verse] Bolognese pasta in my Bolo Yeung posture Dolo gang Golgo 13 up in the cockpit Rock a mock neck prospects looking amazing I took it back to the basics shows packed with crooked faces Shook the nation from the fact there was a lack Of anything with any substance and the culture sounding flat I don’t care about the flack or backlash I get I just spit what y’all be thinking over raw vintage Jaws clinching, they shooting, everybody caught flinching Ain’t shit changed since the Jim Crows days with all them lynching Kumate rap Kwame Krumah slap, Kunte Kinte Kundalini fighting super laid back Paula Patton on the ringside patting my back Present and looking forward strictly bust a cap at my past Po kill him in record time Po Bolo I’m recognized since the first the second line is pro bono yo [Napoleon Da Legend chorus] You are next To catch a two piece Wrap my foot right around ya dome like a sushi Who you looking at? You are next To get blessed by these knuckle bones You can write about it in ya struggle poem You over there You are next To catch a two piece Wrap my foot right around ya dome like a sushi Who you talking to? You are next To get blessed by these knuckle bones You can write about it in ya struggle poem [Napoleon Da Legend verse] It’s a tug a war between good and evil Few rotten apples ruin shit for other good people It’s a mental exercise to remain calm focus And not to use my arms and choke em I meditate sit back drink a tea and get some head from a vixen Otherwise might fuck around and get his head missing It’s a full time job just to woosaa two sides to every tale Stay grounded with the real no fairytales Real men don’t get ruled by emotions I move kosher I don’t do tofu hit up the buffet at Whole Foods My fist soulful like Aretha Franklin when I defeat the rankings Highjack the fucking industry and keep the ransom Keep em talking while I’m stacking thought I was relaxing While you wigging out I was prepping a course of action Witness the death blow Happy go lucky this dummy left with his neck broke [Napoleon Da Legend chorus] You are next To catch a two piece Wrap my foot right around ya dome like a sushi Who you looking at? You are next To get blessed by these knuckle bones You can write about it in ya struggle poem You over there You are next To catch a two piece Wrap my foot right around ya dome like a sushi Who you talking to? You are next To get blessed by these knuckle bones You can write about it in ya struggle poem

[Napoleon Da Legend verse] Antonio Gramsy fam anti-colonial Local business supporter sometimes I'm anti-social Quasi-bi-costal eyes open on the fuck shit It's king Po I'm bringing the smoke like box of dutches That's the repercussions smacking up ya weak productions And ready to set it on all unauthorized reproductions When I get drunk I'm self destructive otherwise I'm more productive Don't judge me that's so reductive These rappers is so redundant My bank account abundant Real product bout to link with Shotta down in London We spot rushers the way my luck work, God love us On the low from under covers they won't stop nothing Box office numbers in the rap form though Quasimodo with a chip on my shoulder it's on my back though Facts thought, this might be club flow but fuck no Chuck No-rris you know this Harry what up tho? [Harry Shotta verse] What up bro, my G Napoleon we stay cutthroat Trailer load of material bring in by the truckload Crazy that’s there no comparison, how we shotting this uploads Hesitant never cleverly represent to the utmost I never shy away from the truth I want honesty These fake apologies are a mockery all there policies Pandering never genuine but I’m hip to hypocrisy Raised on this Hip Hop & not philosophy’s of Socrates Prophecy’s prophesying I’m possibly hottest property Profits of pound sterling monopolise the monopoly Robbing me not an option, I’m opposite to the status quo Never the standard keep it independent watch the papers grow Organically still buzzing off this blank canvas Like Jermaine Lamar Cole in up his campus A journalist like Dream Hampton, stronger than Samson they can’t revamp us Empower the people like Fred Hampton did with the panthers [Napoleon Da Legend verse] This the future renaissance movement High potent kerosene with some embalming fluid That Pharaohgamo music that bomb atomic INS flip My dialect sick might buy a Lexus Internet clicks Brexit that I am legend Napoleon my highest self is diametric They might die before mention my name that's blind hate My mind great I'm lining up a blind date with my fate Since 98 been a higher mental primate Mastered elemental climate detrimental monster Po is constant, consistent, confident and gifted Competent with wisdom intercontinental business Don slickness on the Nebulon frigate, Tony Robbins Capone Mobsters I can cold box ya Po Sinatra, Cobayasha, Baba Yaga Target practice Antifada [Harry Shotta verse] Yo I been actively practicing target practice Since I was hiding that weed from my family in my matresss I been actively active in taking tracks and holding em captive For years and with BPMs I’m adaptive So when we talk about codes of the game I cracked em and the fact is I’m classic like a Premier track with the scratches A flipping ninja and this ain’t tinder but if it was were sonically superior so you won’t find no matches I’m never jaded I’m keeping creative native Tongue I talk in back to rap is basically back to my basic Instinct, and my intuition in tuned with the the very basis Foundation I base my life on while serving them Master aces Complacent I’m never that I’m adjacent to all these cases Phirosenucs all on the scene no evidence no traces Abrasive evasive eloquent phrases on these pages And we won’t fall like Empires did in the Middle Ages Shotta

Budokai 02:46
[Napoleon Da Legend verse] Hard to dethrone the ego my alter ego sings Strengthen body parts that feeble till then I see no friends Hyperbolic chamber action blows cause a chain reaction Causing a spark like when a bullet inside the chamber passes Scaling the Great Wall of China sharp like a sword katana A flower petal floated up I almost caught Nirvana I heard the pavement cry over the corpse of raven dying My state of mind is made of iron you can say defiant Bare hands slayed a lion I box with circuit breakers Dare to dig below the surface that’s determination I’m just confirming nature brandish weapons Break out the party using ancient ninja vanishing methods I work in solitude they can’t hold water these dudes is soluble Besides solid dudes ain’t gotta tell ya that they solid dudes Stretch out a molecule propel my body thru the sky Forever a student Walking the path of Budokai [Napoleon Da Legend chorus] The golden goose stands alone and rises up Brandish the leg cross my fist up and then I struck Reclining bull with the outstretched arm spiritually calm Cross single whip knock out and then I’m gone The golden goose stands alone and rises up Brandish the leg cross my fist up and then I struck Reclining bull with the outstretched arm spiritually calm Cross single whip knock out and then I’m gone [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Removed a neutron from noodles and prawns I walk with lighting in my feet but the movement is strong Slash enemies like a prices on a coupon, mood of a Don Me and the snare pseudo spiritual bond Miniature dragon in a bush hiding I push the vibes in Scientists looking for brighter jewels they couldn’t find it Metal Gear Solid Liquid Snake I bump the fist with fate I’m just a product of the monsters that’s the system makes Seeing the moon light flicker on top of crystal lakes No slumming end of the month on my chisel phase Full lotus on the hilltop with a calm focus Pharaohgamo the Ronin the metal bronze shogun Head on the wrong shoulder slice it switch bodies with it Collar stiff I had twist it politic the biscuit Throw the whip the drive flip back a big surprise Half the world is gonna cry the day the mystic dies [Napoleon Da Legend chorus] The golden goose stands alone and rises up Brandish the leg cross my fist up and then I struck Reclining bull with the outstretched arm spiritually calm Cross single whip knock out and then I’m gone The golden goose stands alone and rises up Brandish the leg cross my fist up and then I struck Reclining bull with the outstretched arm spiritually calm Cross single whip knock out and then I’m gone

The time changed got wake up fast Once you do the proper knowledge you can cake up fast So many made up narrative and made up fads Cucking an insecure fanbase who play up that Funny to me, cause rap made money for me Plus they know they getting it raw when it’s coming from me Now these cornball gunning me talk sideways These tongues in cheek bars will put a gun to ya cheek I’m a sun beam number 23 on the court You might have came in as a man you gonna leave as a corpse [DJ Scribe Scratches] [Banish Habitual verse] They wanna hunt you down Run run around Gun us down shut you down now How does that sound Sounds like a town Desolate hell bent deficits Exodus tumble weeds rollin Right next to it Heaven sent next of kin Pick it up The stick stick em up Fist to cuff bitch stuff hit em up What the fuck you thought is was Caught a buzz just smellin it Inhale the scale but you in jail for Selling it Align with it crazy how the timing went I just put chamoy, tajin, salt and lime in it Define the shit what type is it decline the gift get crossed like a Hybrid gets Clear sinuses They irate I’m in a high state Annihilate that type if it violates Word to all my thoughts If y’all try to ride against me Every time I rhyme I’m Lookin up at narcolepsy come on

Redemption 04:09
[Napoleon Da Legend verse] Amazing grace to bathing apes to blazing tapes To face time no face to face the state of Grace is Race baiting racist cops spitting in our faces Satan talking to atheist pick pocket aces and since The proclamation emancipatory status Drinks with Noreaga interrupted conversations Statues of white guys taboo and white lies Fast food fried rice shorty ass looking the right size Unemployment treating labor like they unimportant Drill rap and gun endorsements we run in Jordan’s How come the poorest carry the rich while they bury chips Monetary flips mentality gotta be very fit Money is everything and everything imagery Beauty standards model chicks anatomic symmetry What about the regular chicks and all the pressure caused Went to get some surgery that bill was what a Tesla cost It’s hurts me in my chest and core it hurts me when I press record Gotta get it off my chest I gotta give these gems to y’all They wanna keep our voice muzzled no choice but to hustle We employ muscle cant avoid struggle we don’t know subtle We know lies, no fly zone we know flies Too many people we know die we know courts and we know trials both types Most nights, nose tight sniffles from cold nights We know fights know our rights know what having no rights Feels like late payments we know having no lights Discrimination off skin tone dress code Hair styles been bold, FICO, red lines Headlines for murder never good news hood news Good foods athletics who making the good moves Scammers swindlers other side good dudes Finish last look at that, luxury and good views Star making system bars make the prison You know the old adage get the car then the woman Sexual harassment and professional assassins Hard to meditate disconnect to lessen the attachment It’s all mathematics we all passive addicts Looking for that magic hard to civilize the savage Internalize pain with what they fertilize our brain Borrowed time that we living on till we burn out the flame While we buffering the suffering recovering from Trauma from the past morning time I run to the sun Passionate ones work with no worries of outcome Cause you know time the only thing can never outrun Friendships wither relationship we re consider Wanna be paid in full like the way we leave from dinner Stomach stretched turn my phone off I’m done with texts Tipsy from the rum effect or a Dilla drum set Our favorite people leaves us but destiny always meet us From a cell to fetus hoping that tomorrow will redeem us Junior Demus repeat myself till I’m heard Feel myself till I’m worth built ya whole universe I rose beyond the curse seen a man read the Coran in church Sub-atomic work cellular level my whole biology change With my psychology the dollars came they on to me Created an ecology on top of my game Full automony greatest erected Kylie Irving when he change direction legend yo my name reflects it Everyday a different template I’m the same apprentice Who surpassed the master and then attracted rapture I just snap and capture moment of my life in all in honesty Illy at this rap thing on my illiadic Odyssey Illmatic policy but never static obviously I tell myself just do it if it’s destiny it gotta be This is strength capsule drink it with some ginger tea Optimist religiously walk with invincibility Conquer habitually like Pac Rolling picture me Top role potentially for y’all my contingency Credentials in the street that's never tied into no beef No Designer T, I make my own, you can sign to me This is geometry Tenshinhan pensions stocks and bond Keep ya attention when I drop them bombs
