Nun-chucks bash ya chest in and now ya lungs stuck Gun butt early on the come up when the sun up Run up on son that’s a make over you get done up Remarkable king don’t argue a thing my armor big and I’m Claiming what’s mine in the world like I’m a Obama’s kid I'm not just saying it I promise it reload the bullets Make sure the clip is full like mamas fridge [Chorus: 2pac] Constantly armed, my firepower keep me warm I'm trapped in the storm and fuck the world 'til I'm gone And then it's on, before I leave, picture me I'm spittin' at punk bitches and hustlin' to be free Watch me set it, niggas don't want it, you can get it Bet it make these jealous niggas mad I said it [verse 2: Napoleon Da Legend] Titanic fly bandit make ya body die from damage Eating fried salmon using weaknesses to my advantage Wild manic make the crowd panic ya crew morale famished Bomb ya car make ya Uber ride vanish Sly manner like Gambit I shuffle decks nonetheless My posse double X and yes thats a subtle threat Paint my rebuttal red you bubble head Got yourself a couple dreads now you Think you can spar to ya sudden death? This is gutter my bread and butter you know the leg Can never sleep on my shit kid this is not a bed I’m stand offish I don’t stand with the man in office Motivated by the energy that makes planet orbit Or abandoned orphan they tried but they can’t deport him God my only engineer I can’t let a man record em I’m like the transporter This rap game is money hungry and you can’t afford her [Chorus: 2pac] Constantly armed, my firepower keep me warm I'm trapped in the storm and fuck the world 'til I'm gone And then it's on, before I leave, picture me I'm spittin' at punk bitches and hustlin' to be free Watch me set it, niggas don't want it, you can get it Bet it make these jealous niggas mad I said it

[Chorus: 2pac] You know, it's funny, when it rains it pours They got money for wars but can't feed the poor x2 [verse: Napoleon Da Legend] In the land of the corrupt greedy Slums full of graffiti Trump could give a fuck about the needy huh Tribalism at all time high Connect to wi-fi we don’t feel the time fly by Domestic terrorism Mass shootings innocent die Sinister vibes tricking citizens Ministers lie Trips to Dubai sex trade slaves in Libya Afghanistan poppy seeds and lithium Campaigns where fame’s the main criteria kids die in Syria Fake Ebola down in Liberia Climate change hurricanes In the streets where they serving cane Glioblastoma that’ll hurt ya brain Cancer patients news anchors with the planned statements The work places a plantation where we standing slaving White nationalism mass incarceration in the prison Cops patrol blocks where the blacks living Capitalism where the 1 % eat Fast food chemicals you eating 1% beef Music is an outlet but the industry’s fucked All corrupt only twenty artists getting any love Plus half these radio personality are shills Trynna sell their fake reality as real Brainwashed it’s a killer threat kids are depressed Pain killer and drugs Popping Xannies Ritalin in they blood Insecure about themselves and worshipping celebs Caught up in a web with a ton of bullshit in ya head Million Cliches and the he say and she say the Weinsteins Kevin Spacey's Hollywood is a crime scene On high beams every industry is a crime scene Power corrupts morally in everything I see Proxy wars and moxy popping Oxys Why we still talking bout Nazis? The last lyricist surrounded by paparazzi The truth understand it you can check my gram For the proof outlandish Politicking with fam on the stoop feeling stranded but Making power moves on the planet [Chorus: 2pac] You know, it's funny, when it rains it pours They got money for wars but can't feed the poor x3 Maybe if they tried to understand me – what should I do? I had to feed my fuckin' family – what else could I do

Pain 03:13
[verse 1: Napoleon Da Legend] These politicians wanna kill us divid up the social class going to war poison our water got us going mad No shelter for the homeless sleeping under the overpass the youth under the influence of drugs hard to get over that Hospital bills medicaid recipient under Obamacare When I hit the bottom wasn’t nobody but my mama there These stars seem so far away no role models where live that rents late landlord screaming I gotta pay Woke up late manager threatening to fire me Police look at me like I’m a menace to society Friend or foe it’s getting hard to tell apart My homie's sister lost her child and she just feel apart So much pain [Hook] Ohhhh… Tired of the strain and the pain Ohhhh… Tired of the strain and the pain [verse 2: Napoleon Da Legend] They got me bugging feeling paranoid Avoiding devils in the dark wearing a mask And there’s void inside my heart I feeling broken Scattered pieces of my soul in city roaming Johnny Walker to the head I hope it get me going They fascinated by America overseas While they try assassinate my character, enemies I never mind em they blinded by jealousy How the hell I make it out of hell free A prisoner inside a cell block mentally Shell shocked physically If I fail I’m a liability I need some dough by the week I gotta hustle for my family to eat I feel the pressure building up inside drunk and high Somebody in my way and I’m pop em yo I swear to god Yesterday I lost another brother Looking up at the sky asking why we got to suffer There’s much so pain [Hook] Ohhhh… Tired of the strain and the pain Ohhhh… Tired of the strain and the pain

Str8 Ballin 03:37
[verse 1: Napoleon Da Legend] A couple million dollar all I ask I want the bag Just a savage you keep the fame I want the cash As a youngin' was amazed by the glamours and glitz The show business The beautiful girls and gold diggers The fancy cars and the mansion abroad The crowd applause and the blogs Bagging a thick amazon baby how bout menage Pool parties with bikini hotties Curves with a tiny body drinking a martini probably Abu Dhabi Lamborghini rides 3 wishes for the genie in the bottle you gonna see me fly Model chicks with the coke bottle figure how you figure I became a king had to fit my whole vision inside a picture Picture me rolling in a 550 ride with me they getting mad Cause we don’t follow rules but why should we? Always knew me as outcast couch surfing Now I’m crowd surfing lock jaw this lady’s mouth hurting Another day another couple hundred I’m always up to something I’m a find a way to get it yo! I’m straight balling! [verse 2: Napoleon Da Legend] Penitentiary chances machievellian anthems My pen and me we too advanced for these bammas I set the standards for me it’s a just a way of life (that's right) Give it up for all my soldiers and my a-alikes Cruising at slow speed up the block drinking OE Hit the spot and take a shorty back that's Easy Mo Bee Take it further back my cool is "Mo Dee" a hooligan Remember when I used to flow for no fee That’s a no no, peep the promo it's photogenic when u snap it Every bars life changing like bible verses you tatted Publicized divorces with arbitrators Carbon copy's who imitate us Boys in blue try to intimidate us Early morning waking up texting me baby u left me Had to hit it quick and then I'm ghost thats mighty healthy Grabbing that seltzer water mix it with something potent We getting poured up missing meetings that's mad important We straight balling!

Letter 02:25
[verse 1: Napoleon Da Legend] Now Ever since my birth on earth I would roam for miles In case I never get to holla at my unborn child Since an adolescence I learned lessons Everybody knew I was a go getter would do whatever but nah I didn’t know better I had grow fast Changed cities like a nomad Parents Took me to the states I was young Speaking in my mother tongue seen kids tote guns B-ball was first love I Would run to the park first Thing when I woke up I had the hoop dreams a few groupies Would take a cutie to the movies but Life would humble a few times If you seek you will find had to find myself a new grind (in)stead of giving up I got better Hope you understand my love letter To my unborn child [verse 2: Napoleon Da Legend] Moved from DC to Brooklyn never looked back When you go against the grain you get some push back Nobody gon give to me so I took that All the worrying and stress I just shook that People talk let em talk Somebody do you wrong cut em off let em walk let em go Set goals from get go and let em know And Keep investments stacked in ya escrow Let em guess ya next move don’t tell em yet And when you drunk don’t send a text Social media’ll mess with ya brain More or less like Jay said gotta learn na love with regrets Stay around folks that like-minded Those who don’t believe just let the light blind em Pressure make diamond the world will see u shine You’ll understand in due time To my unborn child

verse: Napoleon Da Legend] Arsonists spitting arsenic Slurping parsnip soup at the table got the right chips for bargaining Hearts darkening using white chicks for marketing Charles Darwin logic know I’m nice with the jargon I’m a juggernaut Conglomerates hot sneak in the governor's spot Get in her wives drawers like southerners got I hold the covenant my attitude is stubborn as rock Motherless blocks Where black men be getting cuffed by the cops knock knock Don’t answer the door fire escape skating out We an army get entire states taken out Empire State making out Bitcoin that big noise Siegfried and Roy That kid playing with big boys Flip toys you Chips O’hoy cookie cutter Beat u off of 10 years and these is just my rookie numbers Lay low looking bummish Already booked for the summer A hundred and miles and running like I took something [2pac] But still I’m having memories of high speeds when the cops crash [Napoleon Da Legend] Cross that Shred the documents that say where pacs at When u left we lost that raw rap u saw that ? When they see make em do like Pope and kiss the tarmac [2pac] Many dreams is all I had and plenty wishes [Napoleon Da Legend] Like the holy grail to a christian I had to go and get it The nerve of them to leave me off of bad and boogie [2pac] A couple of movies, now the whole world's tryna screw me [Napoleon Da Legend] Damn I’m trynna to enjoy the fruits of my labor U ain’t a goon you a beta I’m out here moving this paper you know the [2pac] The Media's trying to test me [Napoleon Da Legend] Fishing for scandals tryna trap me cause they wanna X me [2pac] Misery is all I see that's my mindstate [Napoleon Da Legend] Planet of the apes gorilla primate Me and my fate go on a blind date [2pac] They tried to bury me I'm worried [Napoleon Da Legend] My soul is unsullied rock a skully thru storm it’s getting ugly feeling like I’m [2pac] Falling to pieces am I guilty? [Napoleon Da Legend] For trying get filthy owning my master and some realty fuck with me [2pac] Show me a miracle I'm hopeless [Napoleon Da Legend] Off dopamine I’m overdosing Coping with emotions of the roller coaster One minute it’s up one minute it’s down My friends ain’t around I’m living in a cynical town now [2pac] Don't messing funerals I'm stressing and going nutty [Napoleon Da Legend] Feeling like McGilly cutty I don’t really know who love me Fell back I had to study look at my past [2pac] Flashbacks of busting caps anything for money [Napoleon Da Legend] Next to the DJ booth smuggled the box cutters {2pac] My next door neighbor have convos with undercovers [Napoleon Da Legend] Watching my 6 it’s getting hot in the city shots of Henny wondering who could be plotting against me cause [2pac] Everybody's dying am I next [Napoleon Da Legend] Paranoia in my head hard to decipher a friend from a threat [2pac] Or will they kill me when I'm sleeping, two to the head [Napoleon Da Legend] Ya alleged death is still a mystery to the feds But never mind got this shorty on another line Telling me she missing me asking me to spend some time [2pac] Now she's telling me to visit, who else is home? [Napoleon Da Legend] Looking at my phone somebody tryna split my dome Kept talking I’m a entertain her [2pac] See you later, to all the players watch the sly way a nigga played her [Napoleon Da Legend] Respect the curve drove to the burbs to lay my head Had to exit like Bruce lee in the game of death Felt it throughout my frame brain is depressed She whispered in my ear and I smelt the pain in her breath Her claim to fame was to fuck a celeb Shorty was stuck in some debt she became a plug for the feds She dealt drugs and was addicted to meth My only mission was sex bang it a few times she was refreshed She had some pms took a washcloth for the blood Charles s Dutton cloth that I’m cut I’m Just glutton I’m in love with this fast lane max Payne Burden on my shoulder walk a mile in my shoe You catch a back sprain

Sucka 4 Love 03:13
[verse 1: Napoleon Da Legend] Looking at you from behind baby girl you fine First time we dated and the conversation blew my mind She spoke with such eloquence about ya life plans Elegance had thoughts of her being my wife man I know I’m speeding passed the limit what can I say? She caught me playing off my pivot and I felt a way Door step should’ve left but she took me in Didn’t wanna think about what could have been Now we 4 weeks in she asking me for help Her mama sick up at the hospital and she can’t pay rent And plus her check won't be deposited till next week And said she’d get right me back and started sexing me And like an R&B singer playing my favorite song She had me wrapped around her pinky finger I was gone Figured out she didn’t have a job She was scamming me and 4 other guys I’m a sucker for love [verse 2: Napoleon Da Legend] Finished fucking her brains out we were dumbing out Turning up in the bed cussing each other out We would do it up in public in all the stores Bathrooms fitting rooms even outdoors She’d come visit on her lunch break would break her off Make her cum put her clothes on and shake it off Our addiction to the sex kept us coming us coming back Was an assassin in the sack but besides that Constant arguing and drama the set backs I seen her cursing out her mama that’s a red flag Threaten to leave now she riding on my coattail 27 missed calls and 6 voice mails Nah nah nah I’m done with her someone come get her I love her ass but I don’t like the shit that come with her She stole my heart like a crook We back at it one drunk nights all it took I’m a sucker for Love

[hook: Napoleon Da Legend] Come with me Hail Mary will you come quick see? What do we have here now? You gonna ride or die? La la la la la la la [verse 1: Napoleon Da Legend] 2Pac Shakur struck a cord in my core I tried to process And morn Copping a forty at the corner store torn You was a soldier and a leader both now your ghost roams So complex codes you left to decode in ya poems sold concepts Sold out shows and live concerts Some think you still roaming around alive and on earth A rebel against oppression with aggression in ya message Controversy followed every step took it wrote ya legend Accusations and allegeds' ya voice embodied struggle Embodied excellence ya work ethic embodied hustle You against the world but you provide us with hope In many top fives you regarded as G.O.A.T Juice above the rim we loved the movies You help raise us for better or worse a lot of love you gave us We need it more than ever Pac forever shine Celebrate his life together cause legends never die [hook: Napoleon Da Legend] Come with me Hail Mary will you come quick see? What do we have here now? You gonna ride or die? La la la la la la la [verse 2: Napoleon Da Legend] Melancholic Yesterday the sky color was scarlet I’m Sitting silent reminiscing on my days in college Alcoholic liquor store run little to no funds having fun On prowl for these chicks like a shogun Freestyling in the car amped up we hearing ambulances Cops telling us to put our hands up "What’s the problem officer? we wasn't driving and the car was parked we in the parking lot ready to bar hop" He said "there’s been a shooting and the car match the description" I drive a green corolla I don’t need a statistician What the fuck? you think I’d blast a gun then go to party? No disrespect either you racist or that animal logic Guns drawn at the car like they ready to blast Checking the I.D.s and registration getting harassed Meanwhile they get a call saying a suspect is caught They threw our ids right out on the street and peel off

I Ain't Mad 04:53
[verse 1: Napoleon Da Legend] Fame and wealth music sales dictating whether its felt Carved my lane why the fuck should I explain myself Sometimes I blame myself I’m so impatient Gotta provide gotta show and prove there’s people waiting My pops died I moved back slept on my momma couch Got myself together now I wanna my mom a house Moved to Brooklyn got a transfer from my job Friends thought I was crazy I always overlooked the odds I quickly learned about the business and shiestness Brothers sisters acting clickish the divisiveness But I understand why cause snake slither And they all positioning themselves to be the place hitter My girl got a job as a babysitter she held me down Praying everyday like lord please fail me now As I surrender to my fate all I can do is be great playing it safe I ain’t mad [verse 2: Napoleon Da Legend] We all living in our small bubble big fish small puddle We all struggle rather no talk all hustle 24 hours in a day, it’s the same across the board God mode standing the crossroads The mirror is a lie cause I paint my own reflection I’m a deaf tunnel vision to the top my goals protected Overzealous at time let my passion burst out I quit my job right after manager kirked out Never looked back cause the past is an illusion And The path I choose will the one that craft my future Like an aircraft shooting thru sky Scrutinize and admired thru the fire Regular folk transform to messiahs You courageous moments define ya Ya soul survives ya when you die There’s no the taking the cars in ya garages I wanna do more sharing and less socializing More focus more freedom less over-analyzing Life is pain peace pain I want some peace again I got lost now I gotta find the key again No respect no friendship fuck you expect Cause first they love you they hate you then they love again Don’t pay the fickle any mind they’ll end up robbing you blind Im a get the bag you can keep the nickels and dimes I’m a stay up never the middle I’m a be fine I’m a do me till the stars to align until then I ain’t mad
