The Other Side

[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1]
They fabricated lies after sabotaging lives
You read it in Bible psalms this climate was prophecized
The earth is crying the forest is burning
Insomniac middle of the night tossing and turning
What’s my place in this whirlwind ? where snakes achieve
Honorable folks in line, waiting for a plate to eat
Killing our great minds no safe places to speak
The only way to go is down once u facing ya peak
Ancient teachings black and brown getting racist treatment
Chances you might get judged cause of ya facial features
We pray to Jesus and pray to Allah we pray to god
And read the Buddha, Siddhartha was a straight shooter
We was born sick, half of our vision is glitched
Looking to some external stimulation to fix
With a fixation on the rich, they stealing culture from the poor
I was born in war that why I’m a soldier to the core

[Napoleon Da Legend hook]
While they was thinking I was M.I.A
I was staying sucka free I was just making my way
All I wanted was a glimpse of what it be like
To be on the other side experience what it feel like
While they was thinking I was M.I.A
I was staying sucka free I was just making my way
All I wanted was a glimpse of what it be like
To be on the other side experience what it feel like

[Napoleon Da Legend verse 2]
Pristine water swimming with the stingrays
Been brave walking to the beat of my own Jembe
Soul of Kinte, masterful sensei with a twin blade
I’m in shape strong fist to the jaw make his chin break
Disappointed when I see a friend flake but such is life tho
I kept going despite of warning signs I’m such a psycho
But life is short I’m a speed thru it like Schumacher
Live my truth proper keep dropping these jewels throughout the process
And move passed the gossip and the politics
Breathing in some oxygen from exotic places rocking crowds again
Anti-establishment they capping then be cashing in
And when you ask my fee, all my struggle got to factor in
And while most were faking a few stayed real!
And we can tell who playing games and got a "2K" feel
I was drinking whiskey they were drinking kool-aid still
Throughout the chaos only see the truth when you lay still

[Napoleon Da Legend hook]
While they was thinking I was M.I.A
I was staying sucka free I was just making my way
All I wanted was a glimpse of what it be like
To be on the other side experience what it feel like
While they was thinking I was M.I.A
I was staying sucka free I was just making my way
All I wanted was a glimpse of what it be like
To be on the other side experience what it feel like
