[Napoleon Da Legend verse] Stable genius with a rare point of view Rather short fuse always serving up some soul food Sold verbal jewels peeps in my circle knew I was surgical with facts to free us from servitude Close to the nations capital I learned to move Beyond the smoke and mirrors I had to discern the truth They want us dead or in jail They want us in debt and let these corporations set the bail Its a prison, information is the main resource Jacking up ingredients from the main source We gave these motherfuckers a pass though From divine being now we worshiping cash flow Anything for a position inside the matrix Took the knowledge from our ancient DNA and then erased it Trying to make us feel weaker when we the strongest Divide and conquer, we been suffering for the longest Killer bees with yellow vests got me yelling SOS You can try to kill us but our destiny’s to resurrect Looks like they got it sown don't it? We can retrieve the throne and turn the tables in the closing moments Victor Hugo with pen / always to shoot to win The sole inheritor of the Hokuto Shin Ken No longer victims, ain’t no lynching the lynchpin Got em binging ruin ya faculties like in Princeton [Napoleon Da Legend Hook] Got a hole inside of my heart That I can’t seem to fill up for nothing I just try to play my part But Something from within keep callin Spark and light a torch in the dark And the walls around me keep falling Every good thing ends at the start They can’t stop me cause I keep evolving [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Weaponized joggers recognized the livest Sporadic postures like the troops in Bosnia Czechoslovakian boxers type discipline Vice militant robbing the rich to fill the fridge We ain’t having it, third world graduated Thrashing the most expensive rapper you can collab it Galactus, got the secret service trynna hack this You can’t enter my thoughts, my mind is too elastic Stand back, analyze reactions, slid him a 10 Oh shit, I passed the limit again? Yo the god of Gab multi color bomber jackets riding a dollar cab Only saluting those who acknowledge that Monastery rap before the monetary crash took the pain of my people on my back and carried that To my very last breath and my last steps With a legacy that's kept alive passed death

[Napoleon Da Legend verse] Ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light? Putting ya best foot forward but u fail to do right? Only thing that loves me’s made of plastic and a microchip Sliding my fingers across the screen looking for likes to give Living in a small box... What type of life is this? I gotta wear a mask to get by? I ain’t vibing with this... Writing Self congratulatory quotes Growth in reverse giving my body vertigo Working on my vertical up the social ladder Insomnia, sheetless bed, broken mattress Shower head is tilted no hot water So I guess America’s looking more like Botswana While AT&T merging up with Time Warner Big wigs with beer bellies polly in hot saunas Alumni’s with scholarships from the best colleges Unelected but making decisions for all of us [Napoleon Da Legend hook] I wore many masks and lived many lives Seen truth get shattered by many lies Kept a hard shell around my aura It ain’t hard to tell we living in Gomorrah Coin make the world go round it’s a cycle They hate u u hate back the energy recycle When it’s all set and done who wins? Join me let’s break door down and all get in... [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Mermaids circling and singing off key Pulling on my sleeve and dreaming of tricking off me Who’s pimping who? When you double dealing Who’s being humble? Feeling my gut get subtle feelings Betrayal disguised as a smile that’s real genuine Thru hell! I still kept my faith like a Jesuit A little less pain is all we ask for! Before we blast off into oblivion and we can finally take our mask off, watch ya friends pay respect What a shame that they all had to wait the day u left Climbing grey steps to face the supreme judge To make decisions, tally ya score and count ya deeds up [Napoleon Da Legend hook] I wore many masks and lived many lives Seen truth get shattered by many lies Kept a hard shell around my aura It ain’t hard to tell we living in Gomorrah Coin make the world go round it’s a cycle They hate u u hate back the energy recycle When it’s all set and done who wins? Join me let’s break door down and all get in... [Napoleon Da Legend verse] A Lone Ranger out of the zone of comfort Overcome it I don’t dream I go become it Thru the darkness we let the light Spark faith in us While my Stomach grumbles like a Harley Davidson Marcus Garvey, from my heart I rock the Ableton We gotta get our own, ain’t nobody saving us

Novichok 02:31
They don’t make em like this anymore We dont have to Peace it out we can take it war [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Crabs rose out the bucket took their friends with em Alpha male vibes ten women slept with em U just a spin off I did a stint then I slid off Black tinted windows on the limo when I set off The next episode, I think like a general It’s so incredible, my stance is impregnable Inaccessible like the shadow government I make em break their oaths and shatter covenants Alfred Hitchcock, mix a dose of novichok Never heard of me u bout get to know me watch! Move like the G.R.U. And when I’m done who gonna end up in the ER you! 200 burpees in the clergy, no perjury The clouds parted in the sky when they birthed me Jerome Kersey in the lane u bout to get block Give a guest spot to the despot, get shot! [Napoleon Da Legend hook] They don’t make em like this anymore We dont have to Peace it out we can take it war X 2 [Napoleon Da Legend verse] I’m quite sure, they try to syphon my life force high score, I run the show like a viceroy Or vice lord, soy sauce on my rice lord Life's too short, I had to get it right lord Gold from Angola put pressure on a man shoulder Had to go back to get it... Sankofa Catch a cold shoulder, a sharp elbow A swift knee turn ya gut to marshmallow These New MC's catch a UFC These corny motherfuckers rap with two left feet It’s useless / you might as well put two 'gainst me There’s no such thing as living in the US free Black Jet Li, Chuck Norris, Frank Dux Uppercut catch a buck 50 on the chorus Throw the dead bodies in storage it’s rather morbid Once we flesh out ya weakness we exploit it [Napoleon Da Legend hook] They don’t make em like this anymore We dont have to Peace it out we can take it war X 2

Raoh's Theme 03:07
[Napoleon Da Legend verse] What I look like, telling others how to live life? So much pain hard to paint it in a positive light When I took losses it never softened the kid It made me go hard and set bigger goals for the kid Scars on my skin and my soul, you've seen me grow Through hardships, regardless rain, hail, sleet or snow Symphonies wrote masterpieces where I rested "Ball" taught me discipline the key to life’s treasures Late nights short stays no sleep for forty eight We celebrated, throwing back drinks like Norea' Missed flights, the glitter, the big lights Switzerland nights, new jacket fits nice Brain fog, making decisions playing god Never looked back since I left that lame job Broke rule when I’m stressed still the most cool I’m a whole mood, move quiet y’all’ll know soon [Napoleon Da Legend hook] I left here with what I need to know Whatever fate says I accept mines And when that day comes for me to go I’ll fly up to the sky with my head high [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Black connoisseur I’m an outcast of sorts Out of state greyhound trips back and forth Flew over the foul talk loud mouths without bark Shark recognize shark, I hustle like Al Sharp' Made mistakes, name a man without flaws Cut from a different fabric I'm handing out cloth Respect to my woman’s and mans no love lost Seen too many trynna cut corners and cut costs And end up short inside this blood sport Stuck in a predicament ya luck short I’m in the best shape of my life I’m shaping my life Thankful for music for coming back and saving my life Otherwise I might been locked up for something dumb Looking for a quick come up chasing a lump sum Dreaming about where id be in 10 years Looking back life rewards you for being sincere [Napoleon Da Legend hook] I left here with what I need to know Whatever fate says I accept mines And when that day comes for me to go I’ll fly up to the sky with my head high

Rei of Hope 02:15
[Napoleon Da Legend verse] I try my best to see the good in things See the good in people Accept things for what they are not what could have been Some friendships left me broken-hearted Guess that’s what makes these beats feel so cathartic My moms older and she’s still growing that impresses me When you die, you don’t keep your jewels and the accessories Listening to Lauryn’s first project Feeling the vibe as I think about my progress Nobody used to care, I couldn’t sell a copy Used the art to free myself from the melancholy Painting pictures as beautiful as female bodies Sitting on the balcony watching the world’s folly With a sense of pride and a hidden smirk Cause I’m still alive all this time and I made it work Looking at faces in the crowd with their smiles on Reminisce on the past when problems used to pile on Without a solution in sight Would say a prayer in the booth every night My song is like a vision board, spoke it to existence and you start talking different when the kids involved Doing workshops in middle schools and prisons To motivate to find their truth and break through the system That’s rigged against us, fascinating by these gangstas Who broke the rules so to elevate the way they living I love life love my brothers and my sisters My vibe is like an old school song from the whispers It’s a kaleidoscope of blessings Pockets full of hope I wrote out my own legend On my own terms and that’s nobody else’s Compromise myself for none that’s no exception From cell blocks to cement blocks we get shell shocked My goal is a house in the woods with a mailbox A backyard where I can grow crops no prob A blue lake where I can watch a goose graze with a flock Flowers bloom birds chirp, you can smell the sunshine Laying back with the queen of my world and unwind Cool breeze rustling thru the leaves true indeed With peace superseding any feeling u perceive Universal law what u ask for you receive Find yourself reconnected to the source..... and finally you are free...

[Napoleon Da Legend verse] Two snakes skating out and got blades out Punched him on his temple knocked his braids out The other dude choked me from the rear but I elbowed him Knocked the air out of his stomach then I pelted him A bullet whistled passed left ear Would sweat there side stepped it swiftly Another grazed my chest hair Was a sniper from atop of the Fortress Smashed the gate, big hallways with the boss on the portraits Parquet floor, kicked the guard in the face Grabbed the other from the collar he was jogging in place Up the double staircase knives were thrown my direction Roundhoused him in chest disconnected his midsection Looking for shin that dude, left me dead And stole my wife when I see em I'm a sever his head Knocking out his henchmen piercing they pressure points Snatch a wrist up and separate the arm from the joint [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Shin sitting on his throne mad confident I’m a take the life out his body and then I’m stomping him He rosed up faced up, martial art stance Side stepping cautiously bout to give him these god hands Jumped up flying kick, mid-air collision Shattered his shoulder pad when my left foot hit him Disbelief caught em, Yuria was watching He took her life swiftly she didn’t try to dodge it My blood boiled up in a fit of anger blowing up Struck him with 100000 fists had him throwing up He laid dead, so pathetic with his face scared He never played fair / guess he gonna stay there Shocked faces on the people as I walked out Carrying Yuria’s beautiful corpse out And it’s a bittersweet feeling in my heart Cause even tho she’s free, we still apart

[Napoleon Da Legend verse] Virtuoso folklore, velour clothe Expose the gloss can’t contain me within four walls Crown Royale this game so foul A lot of dudes who came up rich, became broke now Seen grown men break down torn psychologically Hiding behind a title, swimming in debauchery When the title gone and the lights no longer on And the hype beast left then they life’ll switch songs That depression relevant chewing up the skeleton Now remembering the jewels the elder ones where telling em Now u walking round humble like u trynna shake hands? Acting interested in conversations trynna make plans We can smell it like Iberico, speaking with tongue of Cyrano Laced with the devils pheromone And I ain’t trying to embarrass homes, just bringing the facts out Not throwing stones from a glass house I’m a build it up until I cash out, map out ways And move around with the mass I weight Word to the name of god YahWae / my mind a sharp blade Parlé with industry models sipping a latte U can’t replace the god kid this ain’t cosplay You can drop name all day u still corny Catch me Shade 40 (45) looking straight gaudy While these cookie cutter rappers tell the same story [Napoleon Da Legend Hook] You got the wolves and you got the sheep Some of y’all are shepherds but most of y’all sleep But don’t mistake it for some woke talk Fuck around catch a fist like North Star [Nejma Nefertiti Hook] You got the wolves and you got the sheep Some of y’all are shepherds but most of y’all sleep But don’t mistake it for some woke talk Fuck around catch a fist like North Star [Nejma Nefertiti verse] I’m not a rapper I’m an emcee a wordsmith & a lyricist, mysterious awakening the hearts of the weariest Everybody knows I don’t fuck around I’m serious Said it before I know who I am I’m not curious struggled in this life but my bloodline is luxurious one taste of me it never fails, she’s laughing & delirious this world is like a grain of sand I move like I’m ethereous As long as I’m alive, gonna get the full experience Playing 10,000 over blunts and alcohol Get up again & again no matter how many times I fall stand tall even when I had my back against the wall not the first or last regardless always give my all Homie wasn’t acting right I had to make the call If I told my story you wouldn’t believe the things I saw it was so clear like the moment I knew I was so queer seen my first love I was open I had no fear You didn’t think that I would go & do it You need heart for this and it’ll break no matter how you use it Most take a big bite no ability to chew it so concerned when it’s too late to find they’re gonna lose it Get the best of the best then continue to abuse it I ain’t rare I’m La Unika the only one to do this I had to cut it off cuz I can’t pair myself wit loose lips No more apologies, explanations, or excuses [Napoleon Da Legend Hook] You got the wolves and you got the sheep Some of y’all are shepherds but most of y’all sleep But don’t mistake it for some woke talk Fuck around catch a fist like North Star [Nejma Nefertiti Hook] You got the wolves and you got the sheep Some of y’all are shepherds but most of y’all sleep But don’t mistake it for some woke talk Fuck around catch a fist like North Star

[Napoleon Da Legend verse] My belief are clashing I don’t believe in just believing I believe in action I believe in their core, humans have good in em We turn to savage in the system that they put us in To survive and to eat and keep shelter Reinvent and slide thru... Idris Elba Transmitting teachings of my elders I learned to pivot moving pieces of my pelvis When you put yourself first they say you being selfish Who was standing up with me back when I was helpless At least that’s how it felt hard to see clearly when You’re the only one that’s eating did you really win? Or that the trick, to keep us separated? And back-sliding on health care and reparations Sometimes discipline can feel something like deprivation The bed I made was for me another bet I’m making Are we living or just getting by? Who’s standards are we living by? Someone told me u gotta pay the right people to get a name I was already born with a name, so were you So who’s green light you waiting for to live your truth? You don’t need them to believe if you believe in you ... Stuck between a dream and being a pawn Thin line between, being weak and being strong [Napoleon Da Legend Hook] Throughout my life I’ve seen some highs and some lows And I carved a path all on my own Out of my reach had to get back on the road I wear it proudly on my soul [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Showered in a vinaigrette of disrespect On the road to success few things I did regret Should have called my moms more Good folks around me, [I] should have made more time for U turn into the energy u hang around Chasing lights, everybody wanna be famous now Just to be famous just to get a “look at me” Smiling at the table with some crooked thieves It’s a game of thrones, we looking for a chair to sit For something to claim before the credits hit Inside of an ideological ghetto Have your reaching/ diabolical type levels Got me stuck like lock knee incogni(to) Wearing masks like Aya Stark and Shock G And the violence is when you see folks live in luxury While you sweating just to get the bare necessities Ya mansions and ya cars don’t impress me It’s how u treat people don’t need that always gets me We don’t have to like each other to coexist But it’s better that we talk so we know what is And what is not it’s lonely at the top Others looking for the key so they flip the lock I burst out laughing in all my sadness The people in power and spine so gelatinous Y’all ain’t noticing society collapsing? People getting sick insurance policies are lapsing No budget for the poor crabs in a bucket Got us warring pulling straps out on our cousins It’s a game dozens god has a sense humor Dark comedy, we just wanna build a future That’s better than the past we survived thru I shed blood for this like a Piru Like Link in Hyrule, no magical sword tho Just a big heart beating in my torso Few shots got m stumbling back to the car Looking at the moon asking who is god? Is my voice being heard? Cause my soul hurts Should I let her take the wheel and be my chauffeur? Driving thru a unknown route How am I getting back home now? [Napoleon Da Legend Hook] Throughout my life I’ve seen some highs and some lows And I carved a path all on my own Out of my reach had to get back on the road I wear it proudly on my soul

[Napoleon Da Legend] I’m damn if I do my whole bandwidth is taboo, Bantu Gave y’all answers to clues Deep healing over band-aids for wounds Broke thru mandates and man-made rules Plant based foods hand made tunes that make landscapes groove Handshakes and truces with rival crews, we don’t idolize dudes Their jewelry looking like a stylized noose, social lynchings, while they vocalizing fiction, childhood born narcissism I talk with an anarchist wisdom social drinking over Vibes of Marxist socialism Arrogant billionairism, you worshiping marketing dollars mark of beast followers Oligarchy scholars Echo chambers of clichés in the deep state, police state Climate heat waves, the North Pole is new tropics, emaciated polar bears, Radioactive solar flares, plastic fish, internet activist Death manufacturers, thirst trap selfies Broke folks looking mad wealthy, pyramid scheme sketchy they can make a straight line seem edgy I still dream heavy Without dreams I’m dead Channel my inner Khaled my teams the best This ain’t talent this is soul, big difference, this is black gold their goals are fictitious, rappers is entertainers who play roles to trick listeners Mind controlled by big business Cocky talking heads with cognitive dissonance We the voice of dissidence They might not like us, might be scared to promote this, douse the system with flows corrosive Bend em out of shape like multiple sclerosis They don’t wanna see me go full Napoleon I’m a contradiction, anti-colonial Anti phony gimmicks No drums no instruments This is only lyrics Only the real will feel this Y’all Tap dance and get high to something else Universal law I abide to nothing else Don’t compare me to rappers Your top ten lists generic facing impossible odds Like the Mau Mau I’m fearless Mainstream or backpack My names rings bells from Beijing to Baghdad asthmatic still I laser beam passed that I’m part man part marvel I evolved passed Darwin my heart part carbon My thoughts reach farther than profit margins This a movement of prophets marching Lauryn hill at her peak, Jordan in his prime Magnus carlsen’s mind Nonchalantness of James Harden I’m John starks dunk at the Madison square garden Apollo the great, Zeus The god of thunder My apartments should be treated like an Area 51 bunker Biggest charisma while low key Still An enigma to those who know me Gorilla hulk You divulge ya life during pillow talk We heard about ya, all universe 21st century writer That gun talk stale, I push weight on top of scales Opus Dei, my soul not for sale Catching speaking Swahili mixed with French In a gold dashiki with miraculous African strength Exhibit pride and joy thru the worst times You cry babies act like you felt pain for the first time I put myself on, you can’t black ball a warhead I storm the set and start rapping to Portishead Y’all typing ya life I show up instead Y’all begging for slots I make em throw up the bread Foreign countries state to state dolo I did that My aura allows me to take a crystal clear Photo in a room that’s pitch black I’m the formula, no need to look far That’s why always inspired and I get booked far Street or book smart These dumb politicians know how to look smart Y’all ain’t wake up yet? You figured out how this world is made up yet? Slaving everyday for crumbs? You ain’t upset? Accepting next to nothing cause ya life sucks less? In this society of success Most of ya idols have rich investors Either that or rich ancestors Means they no different from you Except maybe they living they truth I ain’t giving u bars I’m giving you tools They gonna milk u to death and get rid of you fools We got the numbers on our side But too busy surviving to fight this modern day apartheid They keeping ya face prints in archives And numbing all of our senses That’s when the art dies
