Napoleon Da Legend - Condolences lyrics

verse 1 When someone’s alive you don’t wanna think they’ll be gone But perhaps the place they went to is the place they belong And if You think about it life is short and it won’t be long Till you both be reconnected in an alternate form Till this day I think of my dad and often I mourn He worked to get me a better life than his since I was born He brought the fam to America young and raised a son Till the angels came to pick him up he had his run Would play vinyls in the crib and play tapes in the car Bob Marley and Jimmy cliff he held in major regard Not conscious of the fact I was absorbing the soul He broke the mold i peeped game The young soldier would grow He said don’t forget your roots as a youth he took me back there To the homeland the lifestyle I did the math there Wouldn’t believe the pain I felt I kissed his forehead was cold his soul left And flew back to the source Napoleon Da Legend Hook x2 My condolences to all who experienced a loss When u see a loved ones body and soul divorce Nothing can prepare you when that bombshell hit But there’s a reason why you here so let their memory live Napoleon Da Legend verse 2 So thin is the thread upon which our life hangs and we tend to put so much weight on light things And we take so much for granted the beauty that life brings Often take the short benefit sted of the right thing Life’s a test what the humans endure it’s truly yours Playing music while I’m touring this earth like troubadour Life is fleeting oxygen ain’t free We pay the price for breathing That’s why I try to do what I do for the right reason Mad regrets promise not to let the guilt hold me d**h gives meaning to life a Haitian woman told me I live mines didn’t buy the dreams you sold me I died and resurrected I’m different than the old me pour liquor for the homies Who didn’t live to see Our accomplishments and still we acknowledge their history When a flame fizzles and transitions to something more We know it and we still miss em and it hurts much Napoleon Da Legend Hook My condolences to those Who experienced a loss When u see a loved ones body and soul divorce Nothing can prepare you when that bombshell hit But there’s a reason why you here so let their memory live Napoleon Da Legend verse 3 Peace dad we much alike we don’t really show emotion Rarely opened up to each other but we be knowing You taught me discipline having respect for Myself To be a good man and show the world the best of myself When u broke out and had to do what you do I understood I made the most of what I had don’t worry I’m good Forever thankful and privileged to have you there I’m glad to be part of your legacy I’m glad you cared
