Napoleon Da Legend
Prove Em Wrong
[Chorus: Sicknature & Napoleon Da Legend]
When they tell you you should move along
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
When they ruin the drive that fuels your soul
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
When they want to see your blues take form
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
When they think you can't go through the storm
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
[Verse 1: Napoleon Da Legend]
Yo
This for the thoroughbreds, true heads, the hustlers and dreamers
Risk-takers, money-makers movin' like a genius
Self-made, invested from corners that's drug-infested
Borderline depressive but the Henny helps suppress it
Schemers and connivers, creatin' and improvisin'
Rockin' our trophies proudly for them to recognize it
The ones that people bet against, the underdogs
Rose through the ranks, to the main event from the under card
The forgotten ones, human mattresses that were slept on
They see you get a little light, start gassin 'em like Exxon
Head-on collision, we winnin' no matter what
These hipsters so out of touch, their opinions don't matter much
Regardless what cards were dealt, carved ourselves a path
Sacrificed part of ourselves, we traveled through hell and back
Like Ron Perlman with the horns on this earth, soul torn
See me triumph when you skip the story line like old porn
[Chorus: Sicknature & Napoleon Da Legend]
When they tell you you should move along
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
When they ruin the drive that fuels your soul
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
When they want to see your blues take form
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
When they think you can't go through the storm
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
[Verse 2: Sicknature]
Before workin' on albums and features
Before the current transition from the physical copy fans to the streamers
Wu-Tang in my speakers calmed down my inner hazardous creature
Catchin' a breather, birthed the pen and pad magic procedure
While kids in my city would dance with the Reaper
I worked hard to nourish my passion, thinkin' that rap is a keeper
But the bills stackin' would eat up my hopes to make a new Big Bang like Geneva
Was told I wasn't shit and to give up on my goals
I was cold, my aorta was pumpin' blood to a stone
My lows would disappear when I was upping my flow
That is why I went to raise sails instead of dockin' the boat
Went from havin' a small crowd to people flockin' at shows
Performed for free and missed the bus to get home
Today I'm rockin the globe and display this universal message:
If you keep workin', you too can work with legends
And prove 'em wrong!
[Chorus: Sicknature & Napoleon Da Legend]
When they tell you you should move along
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
When they ruin the drive that fuels your soul
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
When they want to see your blues take form
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
When they think you can't go through the storm
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
[Outro: Napoleon Da Legend]
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
Gotta (gotta) stand up and prove 'em wrong
