Road to Riches - Napoleon Da Legend, Giallo Point

I give it straight like the trajectory of a stray to a bystander

Refuse to walk on all fours I rather die standing

Trying to live to a standard that wasn’t meant for mine

I live my life to the fullest by keeping death in mind

My people lost how much does peace and freedom cost

How do I chase money without losing my soul to an evil source?

My people get mocked and laughed at

Shot and slapped at

Worldstar is a joke gotta get passed that

Bottles in hand spending dollars on brands

Riding on dollar vans and only seen ya daughter through a sonogram

No father since our forefathers

Living with no knowledge of self but we the most stylish

So childish, celebrating being broke and selling dope

Hell is cold the devil welcomes you to sell ya soul

Make ya record blow have u sounding silly yo

Thinking you a goon but you a coon looking clownish in ya video

Six lane highway that leads straight to a jail cell

Police trained well while the drugs hitting ya brain cells

Hoes in the Poconos, coke in our nose and broken hopes it’s a slope,

We at the bottom on this totem pole

My soul is sad, bottom of the social ladder

We pros at acting like shit all good life is a prophylactic

You don’t build yourself by hating someone else

We all want the same thing it’s everybody for themselves

I’m tired of fighting against my own common sense is gone

Showing dominance with chrome life turned my heart to stone

Halogen dome, born only to create starving for years, desperation was the only

food we ate

No one taught us to be great our role models were pimps

Drug dealers, blood spillers, slug peelers

So fuck feelings, it tough living when you failing

With no road maps or direction in the ocean while you sailing

On the road to riches and diamond rings

This the sacrifice we make just to live

Companies are making money off us

Our moral compass is off

Record companies is making offers like slaves in auctions

They warned us in the past to take precaution

I’m lost already kid I just wanna save my offspring

So I talk it from the heart and share my life with you

Much rather that then fight with you

The right situation will have u doing dumb shit

Got me thinking of my crew in D.C., I used to run with

I had to motivate out and change my path the youth in the street play with guns

like a game of laser tag, got a taste of that

Bitterness lingered inside my mouth

Crib to crib, body tired, surfing on another couch

Back spasms from playing ball on cement

Always worked for mine

While some would get it all on the strength now they all convinced

Trying to figure out the magic pill but

How you gonna get the mass to feel you when you lack the real?

And I just spoke cataloguing all my soul in the bars

From the days of analogue tapes when I rolled in the car

Soul of a star not celebrities the ones in the sky

We only show appreciation when one of us dies

Numbers lie, so don’t believe all you hear

It’s politics a lot of tricks

Knowledge without any wisdom’s nonsense

Selfish and divided, self-entitled

They call us entertainers never recognized myself in the title

My brain itself is idle, that’s when the devil enters

How do I put myself first without becoming self centered?

Feel like someone else everytime I hear

Myself get mentioned like there’s something

Over me staring from the next dimention

It’s… puzzling sometimes I think about it

Music’s too precious and I know that I can’t live without it

Let it resonate like bass in section 8

I just pray and leave the negative for yesterday

On the road to riches and diamond rings

This the sacrifice we make just to live
