Napoleon Da Legend - Alchemy lyrics

ALCHEMY Verse [Napoleon Da Legend] Never thought I'd get a second chance These lessons never made me less of a man And some of these lessons were second hand Instead of dead became a better man With Doogie and T we was wilding out Long Island ice and women were out Drunken nights at the emba**y Gin and the Hennessy Throwing up right in the mezzanine Did it for thrill of it girls they were feeling it moving They hips to rhythm like a ventriloquist Player certificate never reciprocate Betting on tables amounts were significant Bottle would pop models would drop in followed By cops we would play by the margin Play by the margin like Soldiers we marching Life ain't a choice if you don't know options Skeletons up in the closet we lock in Lawyers and documents nobody talking Life ain't always a walk a park peaches and cream We was deep in a dreams Peeping the scene as scenery darkens Taking some sleeping pills mix it vodka Breathing in the oxygen with OxyContin IV in my veins the doctors is watching It's like a debacle life is a novel When you see light like they write in the gospel That glimpse of nirvana the calm and the quiet Now you believe in karma u saw the messiah Ya body s**s ya back in to itself That's the epiphany free from the spell We tricking ourselves Live in a prison we built for ourselves chasing This dream and we k**ing ourselves Are we living in heaven or living in hell That's Raekwon and ghost You can hate on my drive you can hate on my growth You hate on my image can't hate on my flow Had to grind to put my name on a show You hating yourself like you Raven Simon Went thru fraudulent manager bruises and Bandages Cougars and amateurs groupies with laminates Rumors is damaging I move in manner the j**els That I drop either Ruby or amethyst Orbit the sun Comoros islands my origin sun Trade a fist for a sword and a sword for a gun as a Youth all I was looking for was a lung Youngin with asthma my brain in a cast Fought it myself I was able to last Too short to play ball I was able to snap Couldn't speak English was able to rap Parents is gone still my spirit was strong Intro-verted was living withdrawn Sky's the limit my eyes on the prize Polly with vixens my eyes on the thighs Nobody knew me now I'm on the rise Kept my convictions was honest with mine We dropping bombs on anonymous lives New babies is born and then somebody dies The cycle of life we recycle the vice We surviving we rightfully fight for our rights Harbor the pain in the heart there's a flame All too often seems we caught in the rain Gave u part of my soul is it offered in vain So many making checks off of my name All for the fame and the dough and the women Offered my pain all too often I couldn't Stomach the fact I was my stuck in the past Still after years miss the f** out my dad And never really talked about that And nah don't wanna talk about that Haters and commentators asking for favors Patrolman at customs is asking for papers Travel to places, bookers and agents Doing it major around Pretty faces Took a while to see the fruit of my labor Now put my name in a group with greatest Who can debates? who can debase us? Remember I recorded tunes in the basement My momma was yelling I kept her awake I'm a buy that woman a crib by the lake Live what I make every mistake All of the good every evil I face Made me a man from the worst made the best Until the day that they lay me to rest
