[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1] Gazing back my bad days I wouldn’t take em back Save that for y’all to critique when I fade to black I’m glad I never let doubts get the best of me cause They would be so many highlights I would never see I used to be so insecure slash immature Thru the years I learned you can’t make another man’s image yours Cause ya truth is like a signature it’s unique Cinema director and I’m living out my movie Edits and mad deleted scenes several script changes A bit a danger I’m a risk taker I do my own stunts, otherwise for me its no fun Shogun assassin might run up to a wall and do a back-flip I’m the hero and the actor ignore the camera Playing the main protagonists was told I was a natural Summer blockbuster parachuting off a crop duster Pay my dues and stay recluse like my pops mother [Napoleon Da Legend Chorus] This a story of a man who had a dream Ever since He read the source magazine Hanging pictures on my wall Bumping Wu-Tang Forever they would tell me "it’s yours" [Napoleon Da Legend verse 2] Half a lung and asthma pump still wanted to get involved Smell of cigarettes my neighbors smoking in the hall Hustle in the spirit was stubborn and conflicted Weazing and outta breath, struggling to spit it But why is it I felt the most alive in that moment Poker face a pro at hiding pain put a mask on it Believed in what I had and I put some cash on it These rap dreams don’t come attached with a map on it You gotta work the locks yo pride gonna get hurt a lot Few taste-makers gonna decide who gets heard or not But fuck em, just build platform and be yourself The real can tell and you see for yourself That it’s ain’t what seemed from when you first look Respect the game my perspective changed and the earth shook And it’s looking even better than it did before I’m touching people I ain’t met and that worth living for [Napoleon Da Legend Chorus] This a story of a man who had a dream Ever since He read the source magazine Hanging pictures on my wall Bumping Wu-Tang Forever they would tell me "it’s yours"
