[Napoleon Da Legend verse] Post-truth era terror para-military troop School shootings paramedics’ esoteric moods Married to the game trials and agony police tried bagging me I got the bag Dead weight so many lames I had to drag Back to back backflip adliding life like That’s light light deep fakes is life like hindsight Is 20-20 these jokers funny money no pun intended Pun style futuristic wonder was that what Pun intended Unorthodox out the box like Autobot bottles bought Ride or die they dying to ride “que sera sera” Peep the game Sherlock, Urlacher pertinent Holding guns perpendicular don’t get ya person hit Herculean feats walk in my shoes you gonna hurt ya feet Feet first in the cesspool where all the serpents be All slumming stuck within the same conundrum Chasing the McGuffin no agenda backed funding [Napoleon Da Legend chorus 2x] It’s just a friendly game of baseball The worlds ugly but we keep a brave face on Ain’t no pulling punches when it’s game on It’s all perspective we can make peace or make bombs [Napoleon Da Legend verse] We are gods trapped inside a human shell So fuck a music sale Don't gotta brag about it you can tell My mood awakens that's when rude awakens Navigating through these pages Will introduce ya to ya maker That's a true statement here's proof you can tape it Nowadays it's not music it's rumors that make you famous I switch to Super Saiyan Blue when I flame it It's true when I claim it dropping jewels while you entertain em It's all perspective the cloth I'm cut from's a different texture Touch ya core like ya ribs when starving from anorexia Had to learn to handle pressure it's the land of the lost That propaganda storm a have body land in a morgue Channel the raw most of these cable channels is flawed Directions from ya mental G.P.S. Parameters off Got you off path right off the bat decisions getting poor for that Ya mind gets weak and that's happens when ya fort collapse [Napoleon Da Legend chorus 2x] It’s just a friendly game of baseball The worlds ugly but we keep a brave face on Ain’t no pulling punches when it’s game on It’s all perspective we can make peace or make bombs

Producer Amerigo Gazaway and Napoleon Da Legend flex their creative chemistry on a new collaborative project, “The World Changed”.

Connecting on the outset of the Covid pandemic, the duo’s rapper-producer formula showcases NDL’s introspective lyricism while highlighting Gazaway’s growth and evolution as a beatsmith.

“Amerigo and I connected in a time of great turmoil and change both on a planetary scale but also on a personal scale in both our lives. His ear for highlighting the “soul” of a sample really gave me the space to dial into the many emotions I was sorting through during that period.” - Napoleon Da Legend

Working in tandem to keep the cohesion heard throughout the album’s 16 song tracklist, NDL finds his pocket on a range of emotions over versatile beats composed with Gazaway’s signature nuances, scratch hooks and interview soundbites.

“This is an album about survival...it’s about navigating and adapting to an ever-changing world while struggling to maintain one’s sanity and peace of mind. Napoleon is a true master of his craft as a poet/storyteller and I think that’s something that really shines through on this record." - Amerigo Gazaway

With assists from vocalist La Bruja, Brooklyn’s Skyzoo, and three appearances from rapper Awon, 'The World Changed' delivers focused bars rooted in boom-bap and soul.

Lyrics:

[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
Post-truth era terror para-military troop
School shootings paramedics’ esoteric moods
Married to the game trials and agony police tried bagging me I got the bag
Dead weight so many lames I had to drag
Back to back backflip adliding life like
That’s light light deep fakes is life like hindsight
Is 20-20 these jokers funny money no pun intended
Pun style futuristic wonder was that what Pun intended
Unorthodox out the box like Autobot bottles bought
Ride or die they dying to ride “que sera sera”
Peep the game Sherlock, Urlacher pertinent
Holding guns perpendicular don’t get ya person hit
Herculean feats walk in my shoes you gonna hurt ya feet
Feet first in the cesspool where all the serpents be
All slumming stuck within the same conundrum
Chasing the McGuffin no agenda backed funding

[Napoleon Da Legend chorus 2x]
It’s just a friendly game of baseball
The worlds ugly but we keep a brave face on
Ain’t no pulling punches when it’s game on
It’s all perspective we can make peace or make bombs

[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
We are gods trapped inside a human shell
So fuck a music sale
Don't gotta brag about it you can tell
My mood awakens that's when rude awakens
Navigating through these pages
Will introduce ya to ya maker
That's a true statement here's proof you can tape it
Nowadays it's not music it's rumors that make you famous
I switch to Super Saiyan Blue when I flame it
It's true when I claim it dropping jewels while you entertain em
It's all perspective the cloth I'm cut from's a different texture
Touch ya core like ya ribs when starving from anorexia
Had to learn to handle pressure it's the land of the lost
That propaganda storm a have body land in a morgue
Channel the raw most of these cable channels is flawed
Directions from ya mental G.P.S.
Parameters off
Got you off path right off the bat decisions getting poor for that
Ya mind gets weak and that's happens when ya fort collapse

[Napoleon Da Legend chorus 2x]
It’s just a friendly game of baseball
The worlds ugly but we keep a brave face on
Ain’t no pulling punches when it’s game on
It’s all perspective we can make peace or make bombs
