| Napoleon Da Legend
|
| Let’s start from the place where stars is created other incarcerated
|
| Barber shops top 5 artist’ll get debated
|
| Icons is celebrated Hip hop was elevated
|
| Success next to the jaded felons who fell in the matrix
|
| Underworld black economy flourish so many tourists
|
| Many determined to make it some depressed and discouraged
|
| Cutthroat skirmishes amongst the Murderers gorgeous ladies on Flatbush walk
|
| around with provocative curvature
|
| Others evicted on the corner with their furniture
|
| Snakes they want a hand out never wanna earn with cha
|
| Cut em lose luxury coupes hustlers move stuck in a slave
|
| Record deal thousands of bucks to recoup
|
| Cuffing this loot stomp the pavement with construction boots
|
| Winners always bounce back other self-destruct when they lose
|
| Plus government corruption is true not a conspiracy
|
| Where you’ll see ya favorite rapper move without security
|
| It’s Brooklyn
|
| Chorus
|
| Napoleon Da Legend
|
| It’s yet to be determined if you certified perspective non-commercialized
|
| After the death of a rapper only the words survived
|
| Only the greatest leave a legacy I do this for my therapy cause cops be locking
|
| us up arbitrarily
|
| Skating in a Jeep Cherokee presidential like I’m Aristide
|
| Cats’ll try stick you for a pair of jeans
|
| Bedstuy to Bushwick pushing them whips
|
| More then half hour to Coney Island Brooklyn is big
|
| U can’t survive on just single hustle crime masterminds will throw u in casket
|
| without moving a single muscle
|
| Chicks front like love you they wanna rob ya cheesing like you hit the Lotto
|
| gassed up thinking you with a model
|
| Non-fiction novel everyday unraveling
|
| The realist move in silence perpetrators keep on babbling
|
| Baseheads and alcoholics zombies on the sidewalks
|
| Arguments is always sparking up just peep the dialogue
|
| Children on they way to class we hood and not ashamed of that
|
| They love us got my buzz up now I’m getting paid in cash
|
| Notorious for griminess and slang kid
|
| It’s Brooklyn you know what time it is we do our thang
|
| Chorus
|
| Napoleon Da Legend
|
| Gotta be chemicals in the water we drinking that make us different
|
| Got us thinking of more creative ways to make a living cause
|
| Everybody scheming the populations increasing
|
| The blocks is getting gentrified and
|
| Profits getting squeezed
|
| We keep our legends memories alive on the wall
|
| Sean p died and we celebrate the life of the God
|
| Hop on the Q cross over the bridge to make moves
|
| Be cautious cause these snakes will try to eliminate you
|
| East New York to Brownsville, Flatbush too
|
| Every soldier is official not ya average crew
|
| Serenaded by Ambulance sirens at night
|
| A grimy gentleman I had to learn to balance it right
|
| Peep the scenery mahogany police up in the lobby
|
| My neighbor from the next door recently caught a robbery
|
| Its death or jail so much pressure even best fail
|
| Y’all live large we be living in double XL
|
| You can tell from the motion and the way that we walk
|
| What we repping is that Brooklyn New York don’t get it twisted |
