A child of fate male alpha
My heart palpates flames
Ride the A train with valor
Nope our brains
Don’t calculate the same
Ride to JFK yes
Today ain’t the same as yesterday
The next wave
Less lames around success erases death
My legacy is left behind
Ingraved in dirt in lamen’s terms
Forsaken on this earth
But then these pages
Became famous words
As the Jamison within my veins burn
Took you thru chambers
Broke beyond generational curses
Made the chains burst (huh)
Staying sane is not an option
Promenades full of obstacles
Dollars used to compromise us
Kamikaze pirate charmers
Propaganderers
Neanderthal philanthropist
Cannonball the championship
I score like Kenny Anderson
Evolve like Mr Anderson, cantankerous
Living thru the randomness of life
Worship the hand that writes
The sacred manuscript
Achieving balance in the chaos
My talent was pay off
Mental paralysis everyday
We had to battle in a face off
CEOs don’t carry business cards
They play golf in members clubs
Ya engines stuck
While they was still pretending
I got tremendous love
The struggle educated me
Way more aptly than a ivy leaguer
My tribe way too strong to stymie
The timing of a righteous leader
Cold shoulders and icy features
Vinyl for the pricy niches
Mind of nietzsche
Holding on to the convenant
The promise keeper
My genre deeper
The nonchalant achiever
I stick out in the crowd
Like rocket launchers in Geneva

[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
Why the fuck should I tell y’all about my business
I rather y’all motherfuckers think I’m a magician
This is a belief system more like a religion
I ain’t sign up to do this to make songs for little children
And use my Twitter fingers to lie about how I'm living
And get a bunch of flattering DM’s from pretty women
Your smart phones like God the all-seeing eye
So I stay quiet as kept
And thats a policy of mine
No brownnosing schmooshing no social events
Those same flashy motherfuckers end up broke in the end
Trying na make y’a voice sound like gritty like you choking on phlegm
You thinking you fucking Po?
What’s you smoking on son?
Must be some good shit, distorting y’a weak brain like that
Why you think the rap game
Cropped you out the frame like that?
I’m third world and you ain’t trained like that
Don’t even playing yourself
I don’t need a punchline I’m equivalent to Dave Chappell
Trump shit polarized, poverty and sickness
Pump and dump schemes and bunch of monopoly schisms
Direct payments name plates on Los Angeles pavements
It’s flagrant smacking the plaintiffs
Getting smacked on the plane trips
These ain’t words I’m actually painting but in fact
I’m explaining practically trained to interact with huh
Remain nameless, charisma contagious before
Even mention my name
You get shot before the syllable changes
Interchangeable jetting through many chambers I'm in range to
Now claim stake on a piece of land I was chained to
Transactional relations
International formations
Low aptitude for patience cops on avenues is racist
Throw it back at you verbatim seen clergymen lie
Zero encouragement want us to put in work till we die
Undiplomatic conversations feet flying up to faces
Prophecies of Pun and Pac
I’m just the live confirmation
The general
Stay being hungry even though the plate is plentiful
While they talk
My impact on the game remains immeasurable
Premadominent the economically incompetent
Publicists, rappers hire folks to give em compliments
Must have died gone to hell lungs filled with monoxide’s
Getting doxed by tons of fans
Modern day apartheid

Huey P Newton
Went in the league shooting
We eat and sleep music
Witness the elite stewards
Crab in the bucket mental
The lid we squeeze through it
Sneak disses in y’a tweet
But not a peep from him
Invisible opps
You won’t get no beef from him
Drill rappers really shooters
What y’all doing?
Rap shit got really stupid
Yall living off of rumors
Extreme naïvete from the consumers
Yall reacting like a bunch of boomers
Look
He got a booboo on his ego
I hate to do it
But I had to doodoo on your hero’s
Haitian voodoo on the deelo
This is snake blood
I don’t slut shame
Neither do I chase sluts
Regular degular
The reason why they hate us
They don’t even understand
The reason why they play us
Yall the true betas dont debate us
We the real natives
I did numbers independent for the real paper
Got a thousand chambers
You only seen a few
In ya hood
Voice blasting out a different vehicules
And guess what?
I don’t you like neither

Per Diem

I live bold
I don’t forgive those
Who try to diss Napoleon
I keep the shit cold
Bring fire and brimstone
Straight to ya slim bones
Till he lay flat
Like a pizza in a brickstone
Im a bit cocky if ya get to know the ahki
Japanese visions been fucking with Teriyaki
Afroyaki DNA is annunaki
Injected in the music world view that I embody
Arabic mathematics
No need for the dramatics
Just type in the digits of the account
And make it happen
Y’a sneak diss show me you share
The features of a bitch
More than likely
Your master teacher was a snitch
Jack of all nothing
I ain’t jacking that cousin
Keep talking in the taxi cab
While the tab running
Close the drain
And flood the game like
I kept the bath running
Location undisclosed
I just keep cash coming
Holla at the kid if you see him
Just living for the day on my per diem
My shit belong in museum
Holla at the kid if you see him
Just living for the day on my per diem
My shit belong in museum
Psychotic you die if try to stop it
Rob Parker in the back
Yelling for you to stop it
This is for the pocket
Crypto in the wallet
You know my clip go
Extendo in the socket
Defy the laws of physics
Everytime I blitz it
Shit on your subliminals
I say it so explicit
This is world building
Embellish the world we live it
Reporter for the heads
That street journalism
Cats trying to talk to my girl
Good fucking luck
When he finds out what I did with his girl
It’ll fuck him up
Grimy to the blood in my vein
Don’t think I’m playing
All I hear from ya slim frame
Is you complaining
Fuck ya co-sign
Shut the fuck and go sign
Time for you tap dance
Now is your time
This a job I get paid and go fuck home
Order chicken wings
Blue cheese and chuck bones
Holla at the kid if you see him
Just living for the day on my per diem
My shit belong in museum
Holla at the kid if you see him
Just living for the day on my per diem
My shit belong in museum

[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
Yo vivid like weaves on Vivica Fox
You been evicted from the game
And we already forgot
I live in the real world
You live in a box
You a selfish motherfucker
Yo we divi the pot
I don’t worship the block
Fuck corporate the way
I rap unorthodox
Bitch, I'm too mature for the spot
You talk inside in the booth in the street
You sure to get shot
I'm not the man they wanna christen
Minus the marketing
I’m just the man they wanna listen
It’s vision to be me
The time traveler I see shit in 3D
The Blue Note Victor Hugo in the building lobby
Carry embalming when I kill em then I fill the body
The pam Grier panacea yea the end is year
Not a peers in sight for them
I shed a friendly tear
[Nejma Nefertiti verse]
Wu Shu heroine
I step in Thunder Cat Woman check in
Revenge of the Shogun
Lady Tiger with a weapon
Armageddon I walk through the fire
Head in to heaven
They threatened wishing they could get in
Missed it by a second
Accelerating through layers passing by number 7
Looked at the time it read 11:11
Foxy Brown wit it
Adjust my crown
Walk out the house and win it
Y'all ain't gonna figure it out
Running ya mouth I did it
Bars in action passing by you wit traction
While you slept through it
I sprung up into the action
Miss Jackson I ain't sorry
No waiting making it happen
Nip it in the bud skating
Past the distractions
I'm off the planet
The flow is pomegranate
Ripe fruit with juicy seeds grow
Through the granite
Like a rose through the concrete
I'm all heat
You can't go where I go
Get eaten like dog meat

How to be immortal
100 percent of us die
Only dollars make any sense
When the rent is so high
Seeing beauty within struggle
Had to channel the vibe
Made us fantasize to a point
Became a fan of the lie
I'm bout the shit but
I ain’t with the shits
I ain’t with fibs
Came to this world with a gift
I had to get it lit
Drunk nights, parties in the bunker
Archy bunker on the court
Was obviously a dunker
Calve raises, my hops
Would have been famous
But I got lazy
I blame it on the ladies I was dating
Plus ankle injuries
That dried up eventually
Blew my spot up
So I leveled up mentally
Thought legacy
What was I to leave to the kids?
Pimp my talent
And reap the benefits of the biz?
Distracted from every side
Ladies looking very fine
Thinking damn
I made it timeless with this very line
I say a prayer for the youngins
We done fucked the world up yall
Prepare for what’s coming
Unfettered greed
Mixed with fettuccine pasta
Want me to rap about death
They rather see a monster
Humanity left the body
Replaced by djins
Time ticking on a clock
And it erased my friends
Generation not raised by men
But rather cons
Too many wanna take
Only a few adding on
Just a blip in the universe
We don’t last long
So I'm playing every move
As if it was my last song
Reminiscing over last night
Graffiti over graphite
Managed to put infinity
Within a half life

Coming with a blank slate
Landscape treacherous method is start of art
A R 15 etch it in stone
Destiny made for me to be
The only one they perceive as
Sporadic drive bys
The charismatic shy guy
With a witty sense of humor
I get automatic hahas
Shorty had emblematic tatas
With a problematic nana
I hit it then I gave her a post-traumatic bye bye
I’m different
Hard to explain a genius for different reasons
Any given Sunday light it up like trees
During the Christmas season
You haggled with the wrong one
I fit to blast you with the wrong gun
I remember when it was all fun
Now it’s about who keeps the bag
After the it’s all done
My next album about to be
Zero loops and all drums
Valiant hustle
Words is worth more than Italian truffles
I'm just compensating for my childhood struggles
Maybe I’m too honest
And I should work an alternate persona
I know dudes who know everything
And never solved a single problem
Laser beams on a pistol
With self esteem issues
Salty at everybody like
Brine on a green pickle
This supreme dribble
Shamgod Hardaway
Shaheen Halloway
Make it look easy you see him dominate
While they up late
Arguing about rich celebrities
I’m up late writing in my room
Trying to build a legacy
Cooking something edible
Nutritious for the heads
Telling depression
I ain’t got time man
I’m milking every breath
If they wanna see me
I ain’t budging tell them to come for me
Man discovered fire years
Later fire discovered me

Bro you even lift much?
Knock out your BFF
Known for flowing in a bad mood
Like my girls PMS
Rest In Peace to DMX
Black Rob and Shock G
Nah
We don’t matter much
They rather that we not breath
I don’t slap box
I’d rather slap you off your soap box
For a slab of that soap
My cyphers gets the road blocked
The one who brought you the real
In the land of the illusionists
Seen dudes lose they minds
Around women cause they ain’t use to shit
Records get spun in millions of homes
Through lithium powered phones
On millenials domes you in the friend zone
Attracter of all things massively great
Laughing at click bait
While my rivals passively hate
I don’t know how to take a break
If I don’t like ya
I don’t know how to not say to your face
I don’t #RespectFake
I amass cake
I don’t backspace
While you pussy niggas lactate

Tomorrow's Another Day
02:24

Survival ain’t a high school play
You make the bed you sleep in
That’s what the wise dudes say
How you make a better world
When you’re born in a garbage pile?
And make a reasonable choice, with a starving child
Who in turn inherits the mess
Parents are stressed
And when there’s multiple homes
In a household who share an address
And the career path restricted
Drunk and mad conflicted
Palpable frictions at the crib
Thinking about your freedom
And how you might have to risk it
To fill the fridge
And Put gifts under the Christmas tree
And miss the Grinch
On a brink of a true breakthrough
Pressure will break you
Acting foul really does change you
Look at out how it aged you
Financial strife’ll lead a desperate man
To take a life
Just to get right
Slow down in that state I gotta tread light
Mind in a state of flux lungs tight
I might suffocate
Telling myself I’ll get a break soon
Tomorrow is another day
They’ll try to tell you you the problem
And you don’t work hard
It stay embedded in the conscious
Permanently like a birthmark
These folks over there more blessed
Guess it means I’m cursed
You put in more work
But nobody cares they don’t see your worth
The winner circle circle jerk you try flirt with it
Felt even more uncomfortable
When I got immersed in it
It’s just me though
I would never knock it if you like it
But I feel a way flaunting like
I got it popping in a crisis
Trying to go against the Zeitgeist is an uphill battle
I just speak my mind
It’s not like I’m a make Puff feel bad yo
And I don’t even hate them dudes
But that’s what they say
When you try to critique anything
Along the mainstream wave
Been a daydreamer since
I was made a fly mistake
Namaste amidst the fray
Who happened to slip through the gate
It’s never too late to make a mark we all play a part
I may not make a chart
But these word stay engraved in the heart
