[Napoleon Da Legend] It was encoded in my DNA Finally deciphered it Kept me up for 28 nights in row From the rivers of Jordan All the way to the Dead Sea Negate the gate keeper, decimate the league up Bake the D up like a pizzeria don’t be late re-up Can you see us? suited up like Shannon Sharpe brandish arm Slanted darts I’m handed y’all organic how I planned it all Billy Bad ass picture Kalisi with a fat ass Palissy plates in palaces the wait shouldn’t be that bad They only speak theoretical I bump heads with the sentinels Unethical, none these dudes respectable My skin is impenetrable, simple words from me make it collectible yea Megalomaniac I’m speaking on record though yea In trenches with wild soldiers black and mild aroma Witness shifts in style and culture , then switched how I approached it Ya body chooses if u see tomorrow That's why I life my life reimagined like sketches of Leonardo This ain’t new this very ancient the adversary changes Left very shaken They not ready for that conversation Name written in St Peters basilica My slang reaches, brain regions mold from silica My Vein bleeds, blood of the Royals that’s pre-Caligula The main feature laying in beaches in Greek peninsulas The dissident, officials hid my birth certificate Pontificate, if they heard the truth it’d be some different shit Magnanimous mad max protagonist Slash women magnet bagging a Mary Magdelene Human red flag moving to next bag Two to the head shoot em dead and jet in a Budapest cab Then it’s Sudafed crash after the jet lag lingers Got the formula from the meth lab the world belongs to fast thinkers The builder sculpt a master piece straight out thin air With me you travel without a ticket u probably never been there Spinning time zones just another milestone Connect or disconnect make your choice after the dial tone

[Napoleon Da Legend verse] We just a bunch of apes following the biggest ape Wishing that one day we’ll be the biggest ape Eating off a bigger plate Cuban link chains bigger knots will make ya mood change Scheming like Bruce Wayne Back in the day I had a piece in Tulane I mastered two lane my nuts hanging too big for my draws Fixed up my faults Mai Thais and pictures with broads Stuck in New York where they scam do fraud; and roaches do crawl We used to hoop y’all My cousin slanging dope in Dupaul I try to blend now stroke of genius when I put the pen down Producers fronted but they pressing send now wanna be friends now This that trench town shower posse click who tried to kill off Marley Touch down got so many trophies they call me Vince Lombardi Fourth and inches Super Mench the one they all mention I’m a pension, Every time I drop feel like we winning Not the richest but damn I do well, the human generator No other human puts me on I’m doing them a favor [Napoleon Da Legend hook] See the way I walk this is planet earth They can slide by the crib I’m a hand em work How much you want? Here go a couple bags Lines wrapped around the block from the front to back See the way I walk this is planet earth They can slide by the crib I’m a hand em work How much you want? Here go a couple bags Lines wrapped around the block from the front to back [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Spatial agility, bounce off walls, cookies and alcohol Compete with me meet y’a downfall No longer counting on y’all, slap ya two faces right off the neck I don’t get paid off respect… I need it all direct The Soul Controller cologne the shoulder holster drone The Coca Cola whiskey kill a troll that shit I don’t condone The rocking the metrodome with extra bones inside my wrist Hanging with foulest kids they ask me how you balance this? I just a child of risk through maturation processes My actual age is prophecy smacking up aristocracy None you punks is stopping me, infatuate the pharmacy Graduate with honors from the school of criminology Black power unique I'm proud you Gs In time I noticed the dumber u are, the louder u speak Do numbers motherfucker bitch you can’t invent the data No human being can put me on I’m doing them a favor [Napoleon Da Legend hook] See the way I walk this is planet earth They can slide by the crib I’m a hand em work How much you want? Here go a couple bags Lines wrapped around the block from the front to back See the way I walk this is planet earth They can slide by the crib I’m a hand em work How much you want? Here go a couple bags Lines wrapped around the block from the front to back

Living in a baritone paradox I crash into the future Théodore Gericault, raft of the Medusa Bergerac Cyrano, trapped in the minutia A poor bastard with a stone, who fathoms a bazooka Japanese manga ka, adventures in Neo-Tokyo I speak colloquial, shit on the neo colonial Magnolia hustle, tsunami these narcotics Mongolian truffles, the psychology of prophets Mosaic screen printed, vaccine politics Underground aesthetics with a Michael Jackson following Inner struggles of a cyclops, 5 blocks from opulence Knots in my white Sox, we entertain apocalypse Sfumato in bottle, whiskey age perfection Vanilla silk gelato, with all my fake connections Money makes em listen loving how ya lipstick glistens The porcelain just whispers at our tormented existence It's a garden of earthly delights Pick and choose Only find the martyrs that'll hurry at night It's a garden of earthly delights Pick and choose Only find the martyrs that'll hurry at night Black Caravaggio, mixed with northern Renaissance Panels that are Africans, speeding on autobahn Don Quixote, sprinkle the peyote My Parmesan is Reggiano I'm Medici to dope fiends The prominent Hieronymous Bosch the moment's ominous The most synomous to GOD right out the monitor The post impressionist open minds of the prejudice Serpico and Guernica, micro dose of negligence Marley shot the sheriff might not wanna shoot the messenger Molecule and cellular triggers I hold a plethora Marcus Aurelius I'm Spartacus rebellious Artemisia Gentileschi my heart's heavy like an elephant Rooted to the dirt I did it knew that it would hurt Like Jupiter birth universal flash who did it first Ryo Fukui her frequency moved me she danced so smoothly Apologize I gotta skip town, sorry to leave so rudely It's a garden of earthly delights Pick and choose Only find the martyrs that'll hurry at night Win or lose It's a garden of earthly delights Pick and choose Only find the martyrs that'll hurry at night Win or lose

I don't engage with the fake crowd Just to see em show love and then flake out Back in the day they did know my name Now they wanna hitch a ride on the cake route The Promise of a better life Swimming with Shark in water try not let em bite Changed my angle for better light Get the dough then we dip in the dead of night I don't be liking a lot of heads Still I try to stay positive when I can Try to temper my temper when temperature rising Throw they heads in the frying pan Case you ain't notice, the market is shrinking You dudes broke, why you talking about business Looking for gold at the end of the rainbow Hot for a sec then they drop the next minute Seen carnage and cheating, they robbed the achievers Gave it to Rob and made Eve out of atoms Gods and the demons who walk thru Medina Coddle believers then thieve em of passion Pardon my credence, was dogged and mistreated They promised us freedom gardens of Eden Plotted to kill us, using our labor Illusion of choice they be using our data It's all economics a promise of riches Propping up puppets who flashing they pistols Flapping they gums in a struggle for power Compared to their owner they scrapping for pennies We tenants living with the enemy They wanna farm and use our energy Trying to calm us with a couple psalms While they compromise our identity Sold us stories and mythologies Allegories and false truths Threats of purgatories, where they burning bodies Like it's Chernobyl and it's not new Everybody trying to get the bread Stepping on each other just to get ahead Beds in the Hospitals getting scarce Hooked to ventilators trying to get a breath No sabbatical no rest Their supremacy's a known threat Got a long way to reach home yet It's a slow burn on they cold flesh Dwelling within Urban whereabouts My crib feeling like a warehouse Merch in the packages merciful traffickers Clout ain't a thing that I care bout Jesus and Judases Caesars and Brutuses Dealt with betrayal so much I got used to it Then I changed my mentality Dealt with reality like a Confuciansist Truthfully, doused my tank with more gasoline They can choke when they mention my name in songs I can decapitate your whole cavalry No cap, I can take a whole faculty What ya knowledge base that's more my cup of tea You got some politics? Or just holla shit Better come correct before you fuck with me

Controversial like the sovereignty in Belfast My buzz kept growing like the poverty and wealth gap Guaranteed, when I drop something it sell fast Your projects fell off while mines stuck like a Pernell jab Slightly reserved but never bashful with it Type sadistic take your face connect the gravel with it Dump the bodies of ya squad on the road block the traffic with it Another baddy on my dick she put her back up in it I broke norms spoke in Morse code thru the snowstorms Seeing bunch of Pinocchio’s, doping up with hormones Playing with nature, you can tell Satan I’m in hell waiting Put that in proper perspective, like a Raphael painting Modern Renaissance, I sprinkle em extra bombs I made it despite ya petty sabotage so thanks a lot Check the chip on my shoulder it weights a block of marble When god created me, he mixed Che with Leonardo Che Leonardo the god flow Straight beast marvel drago Drama bring that we eat that Facts never slacking on the pies yo they need that Che Leonardo the god flow Straight beast marvel drago Drama bring that we eat that Facts never slacking on the pies yo they need that My force is natural on a crusade up north we travel Adjust my horse saddle riding on the course to battle Dead corpse scattered animal carcass Hannibal Barca, just to come to an amical bargain We channel the honor, praying to our ancestors Famous Hokage casting spells using hand gestures My auras incandescent can think and manifest disaster Bend the air and propel em backwards, I'm an ascended master They watched em make miracles at the Sea of Galilee Alpha breed got Valkyries that’s looking out for me On the front line like the wildlings and Jon Snow Some of yall getting ya head chopped for riding with the wrong foes Combos, turn your body into compost Fucking with the honcho we fuck around and stomp folks Participating in, lucrative activities Crash the party rocking flashy camouflage from Italy Che Leonardo the god flow Straight beast marvel drago Drama bring that we eat that Facts never slacking on the pies yo they need that Che Leonardo the god flow Straight beast marvel drago Drama bring that we eat that Facts never slacking on the pies yo they need that

You been a baddy, ever since I could remember the perfect render Body proportion right between thick and slender, Would go Scotty’s house, as an excuse to visit after school Honing my basketball moves thinking hopefully you would be swoon I was so shy immature, with no idea how to approach you Back then would have gave up half of my sneaker collection Just to hold you Dose you with love and I can show you way, better than I tell you Wrote you a letter, could you imagine a universe with us together Snowflake showers made of diamonds… from clouds of cotton candy Plant seeds, that years later would form the bond of family Would make myself trip just for a single smile to appear on ya lip Carry you on top of a pyramid, just to see your hair eclipse The sun rays… we can rendezvous on cherry lane Here’s a glass of Perrier baby we can marry today I know I’m only a sophomore you a senior that's ok I’ll just borrow some textbooks I’ll even start on that today Honey suckle sweetness, with a perfume straight out of Eden I’ll go to Yale to write a thesis on ya facial features hit the mall and play games imagine if you change ya name You lit a flame inside my Heart philosophers couldn’t explain I just had to glance at you Hoping one day I’ll have a chance at you I just had to glance at you Hoping one day I’ll have a chance at you Signals so subtle from your lips so supple Picturing an old couple throw my coat over the puddle Purple stardust angel second you a star first The way the charm works, I just wanna thank your mom first Let me get that door; I’m a carry ya bag A safe space, you can feel comfortable sharing ya past And if you hurting I’m fix that, I’m a find the cure If it’s on top on Mount Everest or a Cayman Island shore Life is too short, for me to let it fester inside Wrote you a note I’m just gone sit there, let you decide Plus here some movie tickets , take on a Star Wars ride 3D glasses soda milk duds and popcorn vibes Slipped my arm around your shoulder, and you propped ya head closer We sharing sour patches watching the Death Star blow up Felt ya breathing on my ear then I turn my face towards ya Eyes lock for a moment you felt how much I adore ya I just had to glance at you Hoping one day I’ll have a chance at you I just had to glance at you Hoping one day I’ll have a chance at you

Yo galvanize these toe nails selling ice wholesale Viceroy turning psycho when the light go stale Riding a tight rope right through hell, heart chakra lit Chop it up about apocalypse, the rule of opposites Trust my bank account, my diet losing body fat at the temple nozzle meet ya temple with a shottie blast Strike first, Cobra Kai Karate class it might hurt Fight words Illuminati body bags it’s light work My night nurse, visits me on weekend with the medicine My phone rings I switch from talking French to speaking Mexican Cast iron pots, rocking gold Osiris watch Get the text around 5 O'clock then run the play like Byron Scott I’m a giant god, my rivals dying in the final plot These niggas obsolete I fossilize these Dinobots Seeing melting glaciers, Chasing green like Celtic players Forever elevating adapting to these weather changes Showtime at the Apollo I show out for the spectators My full effervescence... I express it in my best nature I don’t fuck with divas I let em live I don’t judge em neither If I was into that shit I would listen to Justin Bieber I take a brisk walk and plan my moves like Jigsaw Cause having mix thoughts, and confusion can be the biggest pitfall The big draw, I deliver while ya fans is getting ripped off Flick em off then I dip out of the freeway like Rick Ross Primordial, chicks I like em cordial I'm a memorial, fuck I got time to go back and forth with you Your albums a horror show, I never liked a single song Kept it grass roots and I do it in its essential form You rapping I just talk to em, keep the message clear Disconnect the spear from his head and then I left him there Eclectic stare duke of Bavaria move like Malaria They follow lies cause inside they know the truth is scarier

Power is flexed by hours of prep How to reflect off reflex, money, power, respect How to detect weakness out of a threat… then account for the rest The head where the crown rest ends up Counting the bread yes This the sound of the best Profound type of essence that our people try to protect Organized message don’t give me no gentrified blessings There’s a method to the madness and I emphasize method We all political individuals whether we know it Whether you Jesse Owens, Mohamed Ali or Michael Jordan Conversations at the barbershop we want reparations And proper representation beyond nepotism and placements And break the repetition of infiltrating the system Turn around and be complicit to the status quo they christened listen We need each other entrepreneurs ain’t gonna save ya Short circuit in ya brain I hate to break it to ya We might want the mansions with the cinemas Can’t have em till we get rid of the Manchin's and the Sinema's Country ran by psychos Charles Manson and other synonyms We might want the mansions with the cinemas Can’t have em till we get rid of the Manchin's and the Sinema's Country ran by psychos Charles Manson and other synonyms We went from Boba Fett to the wet bulb effect And it’s an S.O.S… I used to pop the best of Moet Unimpressed with the promise that was empty like a cartridge Marches are cool, I’m contemplating better options Billionaires are going space, while the planets burn to hell They the first the bail, the modern Noah’s Ark is being built People are hungry so the killings go up, the price ceilings go up When you need it most, who really show up? They hate the word class, cause they put us in a cast Like in a Hollywood movie it’s time to put up the cash Foot on the gas, cause pressure only thing that moves the ball Fight me after Jordan it should be Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Change comes slow but then it comes real fast Neo Libs made tons of money making the young feel bad Fuck economics, collective politics is where it’s at And if you hear it rarely being said, that’s cause they scared of that We might want the mansions with the cinemas Can’t have em till we get rid of the Manchin's and the Sinema's Country ran by psychos Charles Manson and other synonyms We might want the mansions with the cinemas Can’t have em till we get rid of the Manchin's and the Sinema's Country ran by psychos Charles Manson and other synonyms
