[Napoleon Da Legend verse 1]
It's academic, coonery's an epidemic
Looks harmless and then it reach the youth like DJ Akademics
And it's a Machiavelli tenant
Deception is a method that they use against us as a weapon
Dressing up like chicks and gender bending
Trolling 101 for attention disrespectful statements trending
Label heads lending their advance
And Fronting like they got organic fans
Worshiping that pentagram
Another troll tactic now they deemed the total package
All the major blogs paid off / to post they albums
The smaller blogs gotta follow suit like sheep puppets
Arguments in comments makes the algorithm skyrocket
Can't knock the hustle Russell Simmons started
And all the opportunities that Hip-Hop has given artists
But damn can't a man talk about the by-product
And the damage it did to our people just to buy a products?
[Napoleon Da Legend Hook]
Got us drinking that hype juice
That machine can make everybody like you
Flashing lights feeling Eiffel
Now ya lit On iTunes, Spotify and Tidal?
[Napoleon Da Legend verse 2]
Gun bars, drug bars, sex bars
Ghostwriter to my left to write the next bar
Next star the one before just got left off
It's a business the machine is like a Death Star
That the Dark side that carbon monoxide
One thing about the Truth is it cannot lie
Multi-color dreads chasing clout and using beef
That's some things that's always gonna work with human being
It's psychologic it's beyond logic, bombarding us with promo controversy get us all to cop it
Good or bad news a feedback loop
And ironically most artists never see that loot
Past due? You can't recoup? Get dropped, substitute
Gotta constantly reinvent yourself like Busta do
One day you popular the next they had enough of you
In a split second ya career can flash in front of you
[Napoleon Da Legend Hook]
Got us drinking that hype juice
That machine can make everybody like you
Flashing lights feeling Eiffel
Now ya lit On iTunes, Spotify and Tidal?
