[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1]
If man created god who created man?
In the scheme of things we smaller than a grain of sand
Sitting back like damn, what’s the greater plan?
If you don’t like the cards dealt , can u change ya hand?
“Pull yourself up by the boot strap”
And what if I don’t even own a boot jack?
Generational wealth we seldom talk about it
We know the system is rigged still we soft about it
Yet we mean mug each other quick spark beef
Talk peace we start to wince like Lord Jamar’s teeth
It’s a difference tween a rapper and an artiste
I cut em off while they speaking like N.O.R.E
Police sirens chasing money could be violent
Any given time truth tellers can be silenced
From the slums up the Buckingham Palace
How you self help? When they fucking up the balance

[Napoleon Da Legend Chorus x 2]
Real Recognize real but they not real
If it ain’t about the people I do not feel
So u can keep auditioning for they love
They won’t have no space on their arc when it floods

[Napoleon Da Legend verse 2]
Martin, Fred Hampton and Malcom caught shells bro
Did the Ku Klux Klan get co-intel pro’ed?
You say you bout that life... u got a cell phone
2 options either u lying or you jail prone
Life can a bitch and unfaithful
U can’t avoid the fact phases will be painful
Some’ll sell out they momma that's shameful
But then again we only doing what we trained to
From the Q train to Barclays then train 2
Up to Harlem chasing after the same truth
The devil drops the same clues and the trap’s there
Counting my cash drinking liquor in the back stairs
And all the sudden I see the picture mad clear
Since babies they been pumping us with mad fear
How to be a father figure with no father figure
While the social pressure increase like carb emissions
[Napoleon Da Legend Chorus x 2]
Real Recognize real but they not real
If it ain’t about the people I do not feel
So u can keep auditioning for they love
They won’t have no space on their arc when it floods
