[napoleon da legend verse 1]
me and my brothers enslaved
covered in chains
coveting fame
hustling to gain love can be strange
to gain a buzz in the game’s a tough terrain
suffer pain and nuff rain
to upgrade our life towards another lane
we fight a lot and sacrifice a lot to light the spot
hard to think outside the box
when they ones who got the lock
we ain’t supposed to cry nah our tears mostly dry
fighting depression’s tough
as losses around you multiply
either you scam sell drugs earn a low wage
either way you working for the man in one of more ways
wе all contribute to a system that’ll k!ll you
bombing distant lands
while you noticing that ya bills duе
posting hoping that a stranger on the net will feel you
stressed and drowning in your work
hoping success’ll heal you
brainwashed to believe the same lies told
balance the good deeds that hopefully will save my soul
it’s the sell outs breeding the sell outs
the streets and jail house filled
preaching the h~ll out to a crowd in their feels
meanwhile organizers grinding out in the field
while some sit on mountains of mills
with a house on the hill
we build small tribes carving paths on the alternative side
channel the dark times of our youth to sharpen our mind
apartheid on our scarred lives everyday a star dies
bodies in chalk lines victim of a false pride
it’s a purge where violence in the street emerge
city’s are left burning and the ashes feed the birds
[napoleon da legend hook]
i got a lot of life in me
i won’t lose nah
i’m doing what’s right for me
i can’t lose nah
i got a lot of life in me
i’m gonna win yea
i’m doing what’s right for me
from my soul to god’s ear
[napoleon da legend verse 2]
when will the revolution start?
they trying to move to mars
i’m no longer wishing on a shooting star
who gonna stand at the front line when the shooting starts
it’s fourth and two yards to go
we gotta move the ball
we got the righteous cause
we also got the numbers
we got also the heart
they try to suck it from us
white supremacy thinking they inherently better
because of lineage, putting us under tyranny
and why do we accept it?
cause we born in it
they give us roles
and we happily perform in em
accepting archetypes, our minds kept in carbonite
choosing black excellence over the marcus garveyites
they picked the biggest influencer among us
gave em some money
now we being misleads from the summit and
dumbing us down dividing us selling us products
and while they profits the effect on our psyche is catastrophic
hand in our pockets
low frequencies in our headphones
futuristic invisible chains on our neck bones
cold existence no love devoid of trust
but the day we get our sh~t together, there’s no avoiding us
no longer stuck, the suffering boiling in our blood
our bodies responding to our ancestors calling out to us
a threat to the ruling class the earth moving fast
an attitude you can tap into
just do the math
the oppressors is the opps and we know the plot
you know the code fugees “ready or not”
[napoleon da legend hook]
i got a lot of life in me
i won’t lose nah
i’m doing what’s right for me
i can’t lose nah
i got a lot of life in me
i’m gonna win yea
i’m doing what’s right for me
from my soul to god’s ear
