Love and Hip-Hop - Napoleon Da Legend, DJ Doom

Napoleon Da Legend

Used to sneak in the basement to get a better glimpse of you

Listening to your voice to have a better sense of you

Made my heart race would confide in you when in a dark place

Switched your tone swiftly when I touched the crossfade

I love how you never gave a fuck about fitting in

Hardcore and playful yet still militant

I would take you everywhere that I would go

The chemistry we shared together was real powerful

You would uplift me we learned to compliment each other well

Reminisce when we would kick it in the crib with brother L

Doing us no fucks about what anyone say

Always believed we’d build an empire together one day

Even moved to the 718 we both grown

You missed it it was time we moved back closer to home

To get that feeling back back when the passion was raw

When we would just vibe and find happiness in a song

But girl I see you changed

Still my love remains the same

(It's Love and Hip-Hop)

Gave it all up in your name

But somehow became estranged

(and you don’t stop)

She would provide the vibe and the rhythm we would ride with

We were swinging at times I would 9 to 5 it

Always saw her sliding with some other artists

Bi-sexual at times she said my mind was too intellectual

She fell in love with bad boys and jail birds

Swear words they would censor when she talked over the air

This girl was the life of the party could hardly keep up

Was turned on she noticed then she would call me a cheater

Every other month her style would switch though

She was an older chick though bi-polar shorty was skitzo

She used to skip rope now she digital

Cats used to trick on her now they rub her titties

And they skip on her

She only talk about bread we used to have deep talks

We lost touch I even thought she was dead

Then one night she rang the bell face flooded with tears

I fucked her in the hall and bust a nut under the stairs

They criticizing our relationship

Maybe cause they jealous maybe they disappointed

Wanna see us doing better

And it feels like we be going through this every year

The history we share is too deep for us to see clear

Frustrating but its electric when we connect

We switch the energy inside the room

We have that effect

People rooting for us both to succeed

Those who know agree that we be representing

What the culture would need

No sleep traveled around the globe you and me

Would get it popping just about anywhere you could think

But for some what we rep is unacceptable

All I know is that bond we be sharing together is inseperable

Laid together got paid together

And the mark we leave behind will undoubtedly stay forever

Its all facts you my first lady

Let’s stick it through

For better or for worse and drive the world crazy

Just me and you baby
