If the Shoe Fits

Heavy is the heart that never tried
Came a long way
Sometimes you just need to pause
Realize just how far you got, down the road
It’s a long road ahead though
It’s just a moment in life

[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1]
Yo my outfit, change like the climate
Empire State of mind I focus on the prize with my eyes straight
Hustle in the blood, duffle bag moves, motherfuckers misjudged me
That’s another bad move
While they planned safe, plastered my face up on the landscape
Virtual handshake, you see the champion in shape
Stay solid while they tried to bend over to fit molds
Few years later they all fighting over the kids flow
City skyline bright zoning, took in the moment
Feels Zeitgeist like don’t it, I had to own it
Then I hyped up my light up on it some was fronting still
It didn’t stop me from running up these number still
Uber to J.F.K. without a rest day
Snake friends I left wayside, that was dead weight
On a fast lane Segway, never skip a leg day
You don’t want that upper body bulk and skinny leg shape
Balanced the yin and yang inside the mental kingdom man
Split decisions men get killed over few kilograms
Out the groove out the blue the bullshit I outgrew
Rode the whip off the cliff jumped out and flew
Cause there’s

[Napoleon Da Legend Hook x2]
There’s two sides you gotta choose side
Wear it if the sneaker fits ya shoe size
Only move accordingly to mood and vibes
Follow these rules you gonna fly

[Napoleon Da Legend verse 2]
Remember back In Maryland in 714
On Cherry Hill road we was repping for the team
Move forward requiem for a dream, street poets
Sleep was demoted, energy drinks would keep us focused
Scrapping money here and there with potential of millionaires
Creative minds would collide and you “Feel it in the Air of the Night”
Like the tune from Phil Collins still in college
With family gone still bit melancholic
Black market moves would accelerate the funding
Till the day the big homie got knocked for selling guns and
With baby mommas and his children out there in the world
Life put on pause just for fighting with the odds
That’s stacked against us dreams pushing fat Benzes
That was all we could see back then we lack sense
On the strength of what we knew would only strengthen what we do
Often drunk and too emotional to really think it through
Rap stars were our mentors, we wanted the life
Was only right to blow our names up and shine in the lights
But hindsight, the purpose wasn’t there, looked up to the sky took flight
The young eagle wasn’t scared

[Napoleon Da Legend Hook x2]
There’s two sides you gotta choose side
Wear it if the sneaker fits ya shoe size
Only move accordingly to mood and vibes
Follow these rules you gonna fly
