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

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

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
