I’m petty fam Told y’all already man Heavy bands like Cheikhs in places where chicks belly dance Talking shit made me some money fam Fuck around move to a different country man Ayatollah my mind is solar Jerk when I drunk I’m more kinder when I’m sober Y’all talk about it I’m really there Since my first album rhyming like a millionaire Y’all be trying hard My attire looking like I’m an entire god Don’t look elsewhere I’m the label And everybody in this room is on the payroll You trying play G.O.A.T. but not around Po If it ain’t about the dollar I’m not around ho Time is money and you ain’t got it You broke ass motherfuckers ain't got it You can blame america Laughing at these rappers acting arrogant Victory without shooting a shot Trophy winner, popping bottles in the spot It's pharaohgamo king Fuck you talking about?

Living Proof 03:16
[Napoleon Da Legend verse] See the flag waving in the back? Means I’m back getting bigger bags Biters try to piggy back Napoleono... I’m a target in these streets like Keanu John wick up in the gauntlet the bomb lit They hate to see em blowing up my comments Transactions transatlantic Wire transfers got em dropping bands to ban him Making move like Bannon, which one? Not Steve Made a whole career from bitches fronting on me I love the attention, admire my excellence My whole complexion a reflection of my melanin And they hate it when they see me get intelligence They rather I be dull, dumb and celibate But nah yo... I ain’t with that I had a spark from the start then I lit that [Napoleon Da Legend Chorus] I’m living proof that’s it’s possible You can make it happen too Just doing what I gotta do I’m living proof that’s it’s possible You can make it happen too Just doing what I gotta do [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Take ya shoes off girl you ain’t that pretty Keep my floors clean in my crib like Rap City (The Basement) I don’t watch sports anymore Too many tours, building muscle I’m very sore Personal trainer looking like Sally Richardson I made her hit the high note like Minnie Ripperton When you in Brooklyn it’s hard not to live in sin Grimy motherfuckers make it hard for me to give a shit I don’t give a shit On every feature that I rock I sound magnificent You a featherweight I make ya sockets separate The only TD I’m watching is Ameritrade You might wanna call me for a stock tip Graduated from that standing on the block shit King imperial Po I’m out catch me like venereal [Napoleon Da Legend Chorus] I’m living proof that’s it’s possible You can make it happen too Just doing what I gotta do I’m living proof that’s it’s possible You can make it happen too Just doing what I gotta do

Endgame 03:13
[Napoleon Da Legend verse] Don’t shoot the messenger, got weapons that’ll shoot back Not a new fact when we was in the trenches where you at? Bruce Wayne alternate my ego on a Wednesday Salvador Allende. Avengers this is the Endgame The new don the fly enlightener of the dark ages Never talk to neighbors Jesus pictures with the darker faces Switch apartment locations and pimping P.O. Boxes Pardon but when you so consistent you gotta be obnoxious Was copping bigger objects, once obsessed with figures How in time they seen my mind evolve, my objectives bigger now With executives switching out chairs and pitching ideas Competition in the field hurting, we giving out prayers Got my vision out there Demarco Leonardo Picasso when in Pac mode waking up at 3 o’clock though Early bird special for the hustler’s demeanor Had to learn how to survive the streets taught us the procedure [Napoleon Da Legend hook] Making money is a necessary evil If you don’t stay on top of ya books they gonna thieve you I ain’t get in this game to please you... Please, they see you putting numbers up they wanna be you Making money is a necessary evil If you don’t stay on top of ya books they gonna thieve you I ain’t get in this game to please you... Please, they see you putting numbers up they wanna be you [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Body’s get air lifted and medevac'd to the heaven’s gates Bear witness of what God’s capable of in seven days In a lane of my own, create a style and made it my own Americanized child, they took me away my home We planned with patience and took over the plantation Microchip tracking my celly inside my pants pacing The champ blazing got the amp shaking Fuck ya propaganda placement everything I touch inside my hand sacred Graduated from these Peter Pan bus stations To Marseille with Just Music and a plate of crustacean Swabs up my nostrils governments is looking up my nose I’m comfortable my balls hanging out that’s what I love the most Taj Mahaling it my guy I’m Aaron Halling it Threw the ball in it Tarantino blood bath I’m calling it The human highlight film with the bright lights flashing Got me shining like the Jackson’s it’s a high time to cash in [Napoleon Da Legend hook] Making money is a necessary evil If you don’t stay on top of ya books they gonna thieve you I ain’t get in this game to please you... Please, they see you putting numbers up they wanna be you Making money is a necessary evil If you don’t stay on top of ya books they gonna thieve you I ain’t get in this game to please you... Please, they see you putting numbers up they wanna be you

[DJ Strech cuts] [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Cuban link suits, exuberant coups Moving in groups Peruvians jewels We let it do what it do The game gridlocked, the same big shots Brains get shot names get dropped Get ya fame denied My frame of mind like Bruce Lee Christopher Hitchens That’s big business when it’s crunch time I get in the kitchen Pharaohgamo big Po blink slow trick Sick glow getting big notes, we take more risks Boris becker, my auras better Compare albums, verses, pockets Even my chorus better you know I got moxy for proxy wars Contradiction even my name is an oxymor... Toxic core, can I detox? Ask Dre Stacks to make, drop classics like back in the day Oligarch darts Poleon Art put up both ya arms Grab the loot jet and open a farm grow you food motherfucker [DJ Stresh cuts]

Unholy Ghost 02:46
Choppers and chop sticks popsicles I pop shit Tropical spot moving obstacles like Crossfit Trotsky, war in proxy Luca Brasi Increase my top speed to stop and break up the monotony Let my jock breath shorty got me I’m like Pac meets Pun Meets Prodigy G Rap my moxie Mop the floor with em Po yo I am not the norm Y’all made jingles for radio I made mobster songs Another monster born, snakes try to back stab My verses worth more than paper plates out in Bagdad Ready for backlash the bad press and articles That aspect retarded how my math flex methodical Aztec particles prophet will make profit rise The capital is stacking ghetto oligarchs who privatize You lack the gravitas to speak this broken language Folks standing would of thought They seen the Holy Ghost landing I’m a god, Godzilla, Zeus, Gautama too Diallo, Mamadou busting a pilates move Club scene messiah old life captured on the wire Past pariah on my redemption like a pastor with a prior Catch fire messing with the ultra multi-faceted My talent is a path to get to god surpass the Vatican Return chaos to order while the street masses were panicking Africans who shatter norms, the alpha males is back again I score buckets in paint then I bust the bank Catch a Few bodies otherwise I’m a fucking saint I’m what you fucking ain’t but trying ya whole life to be Shit on my name but in my face they act polite me Acting like my shit don’t stink... I go the right to be Shorty with the dimples on the corner looking right to me Genghis Khan, Megatron Po the higher echelon You just debutante catch me floating on the Nebulon

Money coming in The streets is getting hot I smell police coming in Incense burning We getting ours regardless We still earning [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Several miles away from the White House Was White Owls and forty ounces booking our night routes Zombies were piped out, prostitutes circling blocks In the city where the babies born with permanent bops Illegal mixed with legal means how we earning this gwap Swerving when we see the coppers we don’t splurge for the box Bershire Hathaway plots, bumping Donny Hathaway Despite shortcoming finding shortcuts the faster way Fast talking street politicians on the come up Sexy models stripping in back running the funds up Back and forth to Waldorf and Tyson’s corner Playing the right corners getaways were type flawless Quiet storming, late night performing down in U Street Spotting a nice cutie yo Doog... bust a Uweee Then back to the embassy Foie Gras with Hennessy If Po never born then God would have inventing me [Napoleon Da Legend hook] What’s that smell?

Africa Gold 02:54
I don’t rely on album features the affable genius My track record speaks for itself like Malcom speeches Adjusted on the hush can’t rush greatness Trying to touch the sacred model laying butt naked Pistol smoke music you sniffing the most exclusive No more excuses for that watered down dope they moving I’m addicted to winning my whole mentality is For less work I’m a triple what they salary is Eating yellow tail inside an armadillo shell Pomegranate sauce with black vagina pillow smell You at the wrong table You got wrong playbook you signed with wrong label I’m living lovely I don’t throw money at strippers butt cheeks I rather bust the cheeks say peace then leave the country Don’t follow trends my name floating up like oxygen You can’t box him in bitch you know what time it is.... huh I don't even like ya, so why you hitting me up? Was overlooked once now the game is bidding me up Facts told only pushing a Nova like Axel foley Keep a low pro so as to not attract the police Cut distractions, generate and stuff the mattress I done cut the master off, hustled and the cut the master That was a... never mind most of yall just missed that Comparing me to this and this cat? Is such a mismatch I'm a burning spear remodel refurbish my gear This version here was only built real and current affairs German beers satellite feeds and Al Jazeera Album for years one thing I was taught was live without ya fears Don’t be a beta with misguided hatred apply the basics I got tired of waiting I made my life a lot more spacious Ambition in the soul, no more pissing the cold Tapping in the code gave ya this African gold

I walk the street Talk is cheap so don’t talk to me I don’t Care what you thought of me Live like a boss I pay the cost to be Police try to slaughter to me I dodge em it’s like a sport to me I do it gorgeously an ass is just an ass nothing more to me Down liquor bottles on knickerbocker Prepared to fight like I been a boxer I left my keys in the car and for a minute I quit being god I’m Frank Sinatra sitting inside Synagogue with Siddartha George Washington carver bombing em like Marcus Garvey in harlem Can’t box him in sipping gin and sweating toxins betting options Forget the opps reject ménages I’m a trending topic Put a racist a chock hold Sit back and poke holes in ya story Then pull a Doom that’s a no show Don’t get gas like Sunoco that’s no-no bastard Fofo blast ya promo package extended jab Go-Go Gadget Don’t photograph em face chiseled like Davinci sculpture It’s a fendi fact betcha that the glizzy ghost ya Memory foam in my loafers bro I walk on clouds Battling psychological trauma I fought as I child Yes it’s true sometimes I was scared to smile High school party former best friend tried to air me out I was shook but my heart grew colder My brain grew wise blurry night was not too sober Only way to flee the pain, sunny days would see the rain Feet to the flames had to level up to beat the game Hustling some of my boys were scamming Some were dealing We Scattered work throughout a hundred buildings Foreign blocks exotic slangs expensive cars Diplomatic tags chicks so fast I forgot their names Jaded by it more or less time passed I’m not the same But make sure you know why they say the Legend When they drop my name From the enclaves of the dark ages Spark a Garcia Vegas Last glacier in this climate I survived the changes
