[Napoleon Da Legend verse]

The sharpest tongue
You just a harmless monk
You hardly dunk
Mac McLung
Your whole arc is done
I got market spun
Bullets shoot out my karma gun
It's that spartan sound
Taking down entire squads for fun
Jobs done
Props came drop insane amount of octane
Broke the blockchain
I'm in the top lane
Thinking out the box frame
Introduced you a world view
That if effectively implemented
Would much better serve you
Take it personal
Do the education on your own
Motherfuckers is getting rich
While you playing on ya phone
My armor chrome
Knights of the Zodiac my constellation's
Constant elevation
I counter the speculation
The modern iteration
To consume without moderation
Living off the grid
Had to escape government observation
The setter of precedence
Upsetter of all the presidents
Dont kill the messenger
It's about what the message represents
Huh
This the newest LP
Stacy Augmon Larry Johnson this is UNLV
Drop a jewel do it well, till my crew is wealthy
Witnessed the game behind scene
Ain't nothing you can tell me
Nothing ha
This the newest LP
Stacy Augmon Larry Johnson this is UNLV
Drop a jewel do it well till my crew is wealthy
Witnessed the game behind scene
Ain't nothing you can tell me
Nah trusting the process
Crushing the opps (flex)
Hustle snuck to the top
Nothing can stop (the Leg)
I did the heavy lifting
Move like a Chevy driven
From apprentice to an expert
I pushed the very limit
Sonny Chiba Benji Ohba
Not too many chosen
To represent a culture
There's too many bending over
Sold it out and broke out
Not too many spoke out
It's most foul huh
I got the receipts we hold files
Man listen they can't trick us
Living in the land of fiction
Got a manuscript written
I stroke genius like aneurisms
They tried to warn me but I had to risk it
I acted on a hunch
Took these motherfuckers out to lunch
I had to pack the biscuit
[Kool G Rap voice]
I just knew it was something I wanted to do
Since my first brush with it

[Napoleon Da Legend hook]

One foot front the other
One step at a time
Left right left right
One step at a time
Yea hey yo

[Napoleon Da Legend verse]

With my boy Scotty
We used to shoplift basketball cards
My girl Giulia would steal clothes
From Nordstrom at the mall
She wanted me to look fresh
I told her to stop
I ain't want her to caught
She liked me a lot
We used to do dumb shit growing up
We used to fight
About who the best ball player
Instead of proving it
As a juvenile would run with adults
At the playground
Would go up for lay ups get hacked
And lay flat the ground
It made it tougher
With Ansen used to lift weights after
Distracted myself from my worries
My sister was still missing
The earth still spinning
Despite it all we still living
While Mom and dad fighting
I would work on my writtens
Dad got kicked out
I was watching anime
I was listening to music
Just to take my mind away
From the stress and chaos
And the haters at school
Dudes I was beefing with
Came to the party with tools
They didn't shoot me
But damn it left me shook
Used to be my best friend
He tried to get me booked
Years later seen him working at a gas station
I didn't recognize em
He asked my friend about me
I said damn son! That's you? wow
Gave him a pound
That's just how the wheel go round
I ain't throwing shade
But those memories stick
Stay saved in my conscious like a memory stick
PlayStation 2 playing EA sports
Then drive to redding PA
We would stop by York
Nuwabians was passing flyers
From Malachi York
Waiting for the game to do me justice
Like Sotomayor
A chick from the next building
Was standing at front of my door
She cooked me lunch out the blue
I never munched her
We was cool though
I caught the obvious hunch
Outside the club fights was how
I learned to dodge a punch
Throwing em came easier
My spit game greasier
With time a fine Aaliyah look alike
Her hip game was meatier
Both my parents out the loop
I was free to roam
Anytime of night would leave home
Hit U street K street
Or Dinosaurs in Laurel
Maryland winning the Final Four was immortal
The streets were sizzling hot
Like that Jamaican jerk chicken
From that fisherman spot
Shoot outs brawls illegal police searches
We survived if you know you know
Like an unreleased version
Till this day often I still sleep nervous
Demons interrupting my sleep
Am I cursed?
I heard they call it sleep paralysis
That n***a standing over me
Brolic I can't move
My limbs straight frozen G
Half awake and half sleep
My soul haunted
Reliving a surreal past
With the future mixed in
Seeing my life flash in a New York minute
Exhausted but despite it all I fought with it
I gotta wake up
Got shit to do I gotta get it
Now I'm bald headed
New day a new aesthetic
That fits with my state of mind till this very day
Hustling like these chicks selling Mary Kay
Or Avon
My Barksdale mentality sharp
Made it the last 10 years
Without a salary Paul
Just giving life to these beats
Like they give life to me
What these dudes struggles do
That shit light to me
I had no choice but to move decisively
And deprogram the bullshit
They would recite to me
How many times I heard word is bond
And they lied to me?
If the vibes ain't real fuck it
I gotta leave
You can catch me where the real ones be
Where motherfuckers break
Bread together and eat
From the underground trenches
To the top of the peak
Snapping like a class world photographer b
That's why everything
I drop stay hot in the street
You can the feel the authenticity
All in my speech
Huh I just be talking and
They say that I teach
I just think y'all used to getting
Your reality bleached
[Napoleon Da Legend hook]

One foot front the other
One step at a time

One step at a time
Yea
One step at a time

Hip-hop is just that influential
It just catches you right away

Now how did you?
