Lyrics
[Napoleon Da Legend verse] My beliefs are clashing I don't believe in just believing I believe in action I believe in their core, humans have good in em We turn to savage in the system that they put us in To survive and to eat and keep shelter Reinvent and slide thru... Idris Elba Transmitting teachings of my elders I learned to pivot moving pieces of my pelvis When you put yourself first they say you being selfish Who was standing up with me back when I was helpless At least that's how it felt hard to see clearly when You're the only one that's eating did you really win? Or is that the trick, to keep us separated? And back-sliding on health care and reparations Sometimes discipline can feel something like deprivation The bed I made was for me another bed I'm making Are we living or just getting by? Who's standards are we living by? Someone told me u gotta pay the right people to get a name I was already born with a name, so were you So who's green light you waiting for to live your truth? You don't need them to believe if you believe in you ... Stuck between a dream and being a pawn Thin line between, being weak and being strong [Napoleon Da Legend Hook] Throughout my life I've seen some highs and some lows And I carved a path all on my own Out of my reach had to get back on the road I wear it proudly on my soul [Napoleon Da Legend verse] Showered in a vinaigrette of disrespect On the road to success few things I did regret Should have called my moms more Good folks around me, [I] should have made more time for U turn into the energy u hang around Chasing lights, everybody wanna be famous now Just to be famous just to get a “look at me” Smiling at the table with some crooked thieves It's a game of thrones, we looking for a chair to sit For something to claim before the credits hit Inside of an ideological ghetto Have your reaching/ diabolical type levels Got me stuck like lock knee incogni(to) Wearing masks like Arya Stark and Shock G And the violence is when you see folks live in luxury While you sweating just to get the bare necessities Ya mansions and ya cars don't impress me It's how u treat people don't need that always gets me We don't have to like each other to coexist But it's better that we talk so we know what is And what is not it's lonely at the top Others looking for the key so they flip the lock I burst out laughing in all my sadness The people in power and spine so gelatinous Y'all ain't noticing society collapsing? People getting sick insurance policies are lapsing No budget for the poor crabs in a bucket Got us warring pulling straps out on our cousins It's a game dozens god has a sense humor Dark comedy, we just wanna build a future That's better than the past we survived thru I shed blood for this like a Piru Like Link in Hyrule, no magical sword tho Just a big heart beating in my torso Few shots got m stumbling back to the car Looking at the moon asking who is god? Is my voice being heard? Cause my soul hurts Should I let her take the wheel and be my chauffeur? Driving thru a unknown route How am I getting back home now? [Napoleon Da Legend Hook] Throughout my life I've seen some highs and some lows And I carved a path all on my own Out of my reach had to get back on the road I wear it proudly on my soul
