Lyrics For my Folks - Napoleon Da Legend

For my Folks

Divine alignment, swimming with the piranhas
Tarantulas is climbing on my body while I’m shining
Blinded by the smoke and black mirrors where the answers at?
Wondering who controlling my actions like Bandersnatch
Camera flash, head pounding like a Hammer Jack
They tried to make me lose focus I ain’t a fan of that
Kill the Baphomet, God I’m the embodiment so
Don’t compare me, I’m doing what nobody did
Who came before me, I’m a immigrant story
Africa, I represent its image and its glory
This ain’t a skin tone thing this is ketones
Straight to ya brain receptors to make keep strong
This the Keynote speaker in ya earphones
Ya true self’s what is left after the fear’s gone
Congratulations if you find it I salute you
The revolution won’t be televised on YouTube
This for my folks just my folks
Mind of Leonardo the way I play my cards tho
Can’t see me with bi focal I’m bi coastal
Those who criticize have no idea what I go thru
The last man standing I stand last
Ain’t been the same since my old man passed
Ain’t been the same since my other man passed
Don’t talk about my moves unless you made the man cash
Had the audacity to put out albums
Independent selling thousands from New York City housing
Trips cross seas and I gained more speed
Took a break then they lost it when I came off leave
Starting caking off all the vibes that came off me
Even toured off the mixtapes I gave off free
How many youth and drug attics got saved off me?
How many broke out from being mental slaves off me?
How many turned out to be fake lost speed?
Trying to manipulate the most vulnerable and lost seeds
Gun talk and drug talk, all day sub talk
When that karma came back, u got bussed off
Hope you got ya nut off cause it’s over now
Life’ll start looking a different cause you sober now
You was culture then, I’m talking culture now
I’m a show you step by step how to grow a crowd
Without a machine with only a dream
Purpose and meaning some drive and a formidable team
Uplift and build, achieve, grow ya esteem
Rep the new flag color black gold and the green
This for my folks just my folks
Mind of Leonardo the way I play my cards tho
Can’t see me with bi focal I’m bi coastal
Those who criticize have no idea what I go thru
