I walk heroically The other day My spirit spoke to me Gave me a glimpse of what the future holds for me It's a burdens to carry to constantly murder an adversary when I curve that ass that's another hatchet to bury Got a cannon for a brain close to insanity Super Saiyan Words getting more costly who can pay em Touring across water eating good food who can blame him Saying this and that about him but who complaining That the life I chose ain't it no vacations till the top making statements my way of lifes so vain ain't it Never obey rules in these symphonies I donate jewels I'm the general who okays all the moves This phase 2 chapter 3 page 2 Take a sniff of this'll make nose numb like free base do Watch "Teenage Mutant" since an teenage knew I was a mutant My basketball teammates knew this Life can taste brutal leaves an aftertaste too tho A wise man said tell it like it is they'll gravitate to ya They can project they life thru ya you just talk about it And I've Been doing just that just never thought about it The path of warrior the story of a flawed man called Napoleon But not the one down in Corsica Protect my aura from snakes and devil worshippers The trail of Dead corpses I left behind overwhelmed the coroner

Napoleon Da Legend [verse 1] Louis the 14th war machine they tried to quarantine Po Through their corporate schemes It’s didn’t work I put a fork in your team You eat pork you fiends they wanna to rob you For your hopes and extort your dreams They wanna clone my genes decode my schemes They know my breed Po Leo Eloheem The flow crazy like Ceelo Green I spit for the martyrs cause without them there wouldn’t be no me I see no evil like Carlito in the scene triple beam kilos I don’t express with no emo memes Live life like Casinos take chances and risks And won’t stop till my name rings like Championships I might just be too advanced for this My canon spits handsome clips Soon as the wire transfer hits I trade jewels with philanthropists but on the real I’m mostly motivated by those farmers on the field Make the world feel it the legends the perfect weapon Make my words feel as if Winston Churchill said em Yo I swear they don’t really want it with the God I came to change the game like the marijuana laws Climax high stacks to spit mastered this Next to my name there’s an asterisk With a font note saying I’m in a class of my own Make history grab the cash and I’m gone DJ Tha Boss [Chorus Scratches] After this you’re good as gone Word is bond Napoleon Da Legend [verse 2] Yo they’ve been raping us for years Caking up in the rear gave a few black Africans A couple of chairs At the big table just to make us think Racism stopped we knew Kept moving as we patiently watched But what about Congo and Syria what about Boko Haram dumb things we focusing on Like who’s signed to what who made a deal with who Children starving trying to get their bellies filled with food So I don’t feel it when you talk clothes in every other rhyme When you talk cars talk hoes in every other rhyme But for real all you do is make the enemy And those without the knowledge get the short end of the stick It’s like a criminal befriending a snitch uncivilized Simple minds think whatever trending is it You ghostwrite I write for the holy ghost send them a hit Rappers blowing up on some feminine shit mesmerized when the Benjamins flip just like a rock to a fiend I navigate like black ops and Marine Keeping watch like an Aquamarine Selfish motherfuckers never take The time to give props to their team So while you popping clicquot they Scheming on ya C-notes I reload Speaking with the soul of Steven Biko To rewrite history erase the norm cause You can be popping today and next day you gone DJ Tha Boss [scratches]

Steve 03:52
Napoleon Da Legend [verse 1] Steve was orchestrator stuck between the streets And that corporate paper Selling Coke to the co workers at the coffee maker Kept a Small container under the desk At Goldman Sacks trying to meet the goals his manager set His word is bond he was a man of respect in money making manhattan he had to learn how to manage the stress See his connect had him black mailed was Making a 6 figure salary why would he risk going jail? Trynna break the stereotypes of black male 3 kids a beautiful wife you bout to see for yourself See his connect was a from a Mexican cartel not for the Frail-hearted they just wanna sell product See he was dibbling and dabbling supplying Several buildings in his neighborhood Had to deal with drama but the pay was good Under the table straight cash no tax forms He put his cousin on to move packs for em That kid was like a savage used to keep an ax on em Til the day they lined em with a few rack of em Shot em in the head broad day he lay dead That bullet was meant for Steve and the rumors start to spread Don't get twisted Steve was educated he had degrees And the game was getting too deep he knew he had to leave Freelance accountant took his resume to job fairs He knew the rep for Goldman Sachs when he got there Omega Psi brothers from his Morgan State days They used to run trains get drunk and play spades But that night a chick was crying embarrassed all the sudden she was with it at first and then she wasn't They stopped asking her if she aight tho.. she told em that she peeped a man filming em from outside the window What a psycho , he was gone by the time they looked Crying hysterically while they sitting there shook Napoleon Da Legend [Chorus x2] Have you ever made a pact with devil You do one thing he'll take u another level? Then it keep getting deeper and deeper You gotta give something up u know the procedure Napoleon Da Legend [verse 2] 7 years later jimmy from the cartel Gave em a call cause he wanted him to sale Ain't hard to tell had plans to infiltrate The rich side of town he would pitch by pound his proposal was Way out of bounds he knew Steve was done I got the footage I can release that once Steve knew he could lose his job worst maybe prison Being the sole provider for his lady and his children He kept selling tried to keep it low key His colleagues had no idea he was a triple OG Bought a 20 million dollar insurance policy For extra protection on his life he knew about the streets White collar worker double dipping making dollars at work On some Kabala type entrepreneur Left late one night he drove his car up the FDR stressed and all he had as beat all sudden Felt peace was a lefty took right with his off hand Took the exit then his whip off the ramp His body mutilated an escape from the life that he lived Left 20 million to his wife and his kids Napoleon Da Legend [Chorus x2] Have you ever made a pact with devil You do one thing he'll take u another level? Then it keep getting deeper and deeper You gotta give something up u know the procedure

Condolences 02:45
Napoleon Da Legend verse 1 When someone's alive you don't wanna think they'll be gone But perhaps the place they went to is the place they belong And if You think about it life is short and it won't be long Till you both be reconnected in an alternate form Till this day I think of my dad and often I mourn He worked to get me a better life than his since I was born He brought the fam to America young and raised a son Till the angels came to pick him up he had his run Would play vinyls in the crib and play tapes in the car Bob Marley and Jimmy cliff he held in major regard Not conscious of the fact I was absorbing the soul He broke the mold i peeped game The young soldier would grow He said don't forget your roots as a youth he took me back there To the homeland the lifestyle I did the math there Wouldn't believe the pain I felt I kissed his forehead was cold his soul left And flew back to the source Napoleon Da Legend Hook x2 My condolences to all who experienced a loss When u see a loved ones body and soul divorce Nothing can prepare you when that bombshell hit But there's a reason why you here so let their memory live Napoleon Da Legend verse 2 So thin is the thread upon which our life hangs and we tend to put so much weight on light things And we take so much for granted the beauty that life brings Often take the short benefit sted of the right thing Life's a test what the humans endure it's truly yours Playing music while I'm touring this earth like troubadour Life is fleeting oxygen ain't free We pay the price for breathing That's why I try to do what I do for the right reason Mad regrets promise not to let the guilt hold me Death gives meaning to life a Haitian woman told me I live mines didn't buy the dreams you sold me I died and resurrected I'm different than the old me pour liquor for the homies Who didn't live to see Our accomplishments and still we acknowledge their history When a flame fizzles and transitions to something more We know it and we still miss em and it hurts much Napoleon Da Legend Hook My condolences to those Who experienced a loss When u see a loved ones body and soul divorce Nothing can prepare you when that bombshell hit But there's a reason why you here so let their memory live Napoleon Da Legend verse 3 Peace dad we much alike we don't really show emotion Rarely opened up to each other but we be knowing You taught me discipline having respect for Myself To be a good man and show the world the best of myself When u broke out and had to do what you do I understood I made the most of what I had don't worry I'm good Forever thankful and privileged to have you there I'm glad to be part of your legacy I'm glad you cared
