[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1]
Fred Estaire dodging evil eyes and negative stares
They peddle fear, hell is empty all the devils is here
Last night I said a prayer, god protect me from my demons
Let the pen move still I’m learning lesson my genius
Cause freedom ain’t free the system cheats to pay me
And either way they foul ways never cease to amaze mе
Many were driven crazy by lonеliness and detachment
A mere pink slip could signify your world collapsing
Especially when true friends are absent eventually the lack of moral support’ll have you mentally crashing
Stabbed in the heart softly dying
Trying hard but these oligarch’ll you say hardly trying
Inspirational memes with images of few who made it
From conditions inhumane that ain’t gonna keep you sane
Compassion is dry, losing ya passion and drive
Interviews 2 hours away, you trying to catch a ride
And ya Metrocard empty gotta hop the turnstile
Cops waiting on the other side ya Hope is burned down
Like the Amazon forest it’s harder for you to breath
No food in the fridge it’s harder for you eat
And ya brains running wild it’s harder for you sleep
The light at the end of tunnel gets harder for you to see
And not a soul cares in a room with no chairs
Hard to feel alive when u feel like death is so near

[Napoleon Da Legend verse 2]
We kill for capital but the capital don’t like the workers
Slaving for pennies for years feeling like ya life worthless
It’s heartless work after work you work more
How u bring value to companies but u not worth more
Every year they take away a bit even tho you did ya bid
While executives get multi-million dollar bonuses
Trynna keep up Jones’s u keeping up with loans
Boiling water on the stove heating up ya home
Hurts the soul like songs from Nina Simone
Liquor burning up the liver can’t leave it alone
Trying to escape but they chasing like an NFL safety
That’s why tickets from entertainment tend to sell crazy
While we look up to the Jay Zs and Diddy's, Pornhub for titties
In the core of us all we needs love really
Growing up inside a tough city that’s expensive
Not to mention most of us act defensive
No trust, they wanna catapult off ya back
You got a check, they try pray and eat off ya stack
"48 law" philosophy rather Hale Selassie
The only way out is to rise as a united body
Going thru a spiritual death , through material
And short term gratification hoping it carry you
Passed the pain scarred memories and loss
Scary thing to think ya fate you never was involved
