[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

[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

[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?

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

[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

[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
Peep my hubris just like when puberty hits
These cats humorous Po got too many hits
And yes I’m super lit everybody know the pseudonym
I learned under the tutelage of artists that are super dead
Get used to it my music birthed a bunch of super heads
I’m a super mensch Kenshiro like super strength
Stock market speculator till I’m stupid rich
U on the surface I’m the root of it like turmeric
I’m exuberant money spent I’m recouping it
I'm cruising in the coup you know the type where only two can fit
I’m trooper kid got these fans YouTubing him
You hear the future kid got The Who’s who tuning in
I’m making myself at home and yes Po moving in
If you claiming you better motherfucker prove it then
Put the truth in it the car trunk got a roof in it
I cook it and supply it I’m also the one moving it
Ya career dead ventilator put a tube in em
You should have thought twice before you listened to ya stupid friend
Now u losing it mad at me for winning sue me then
Y’all should have welcomed me, see what u made do to them?
[Napoleon Da Legend chorus]
20 steps ahead of the best oh yes!
20 steps ahead of the best oh yes!
20 steps ahead of the best oh yes!
20 steps ahead of the best
[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
This alimony used to be a child of Tony
Until that life disown me had to get some balance on me
It’s the one and only Pharaohgam imperial
Go against the army catch a pentagon burial
Tarragon cereal and terror squad memorials
Maradonna this is new era God material huh
Sicilian Tai Chi
I’m the villain type on balconies chilling with tight Ts
Feel a light breeze glass of water might freeze
Cooked cassava leaves a neo like anomaly
Trauma survivor turned drama normalizer
Terror dome Kaiser on the throne emphasizer
It’s nothin I don’t force it y’all be force fed some horse shit
To the point where these cuck beta corn balls applauding it
I’m the coordinate the future destination
The Super Saiyan super human elevation
[Napoleon Da Legend chorus]
20 steps ahead of the best oh yes!
20 steps ahead of the best oh yes!
20 steps ahead of the best oh yes!
20 steps ahead of the best

Budokai

[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

Diadora colorways slow motion cutaways
Subtle ways can’t stop a hustlers finds other ways
Isidor Strauss got em star struck we bossed up
Many tried and got stuck I franchise like Starbucks
Huh I got the game sown
Y’all still waiting tp get put on by the pay phone?
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

[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
