Athena's Cry - Napoleon Da Legend

I majored in the road less traveled I hit the gravel

Came from the Tower of Babel Riddled with grenade shrapnel

Fought many battles against Hades and the likes

And sacrificed almost everything paid a crazy price

Friendships by the wayside, family by wayside

Hobbies I had let go, we wasn’t on the same vibes

Narcissistic tendencies I recognized em quickly

Then I nipped it in bud, was used to living life risky

Far from a Saint Seiya no but I just played it low

And worked with a sense of urgency like I got a day to go

Primetime asked me if I thought I was gonna die soon

The way I be recording like I’m staring down on my tomb

Looking at my iTunes like damn I really OD’ed

Mind racing anxious, I been getting no sleep

Feeling a cold breeze in the night I let my soul breath

If you thinks about the dough please, you probably don’t know me

I do this for this kid Africa who didn’t eat and still got bigger dreams

My little sister Nour, my nephew Timothy

I like my anonymity but love for my art to live

So I got be smart on how I guard my gift

Cause folks’ll take advantage fast

I played the back for a little, but don’t worry Superman is back

U can keep ya gadgets and ya Gucci fanny packs

I give em random acts of kindness with a random ax

Strangers hitting me up telling me that I deserve more

The way my blessings are set-up I wanna serve more

If I eat, everybody eat, get ya plate

I’m a set the play it don’t stop I’m a reinvent the brakes

And re-intensify the flame with an Empire State of mind and call em all out

Re-identify the snakes

Can never gentrify my grace, I was incentivized

By the gods to give you the charts on how to navigate

They won’t care about you less u got some sort of power

Success comes beyond a week of working 40 hours

Lawrence of Arabia in the desert

The pain of loss embedded in my cranium forever

Craving to make a better world for children to smile

Protected from molesters and the malevolent crowds

The dark specters and architects of hate create a safe haven like the marvel x

men around Xavier

Got us campaigning I’m a lobbyist for freedoms

Step to the guardians body em the audience is feinding

The embodiment of evil, chiseled with strong Limbs

With a big sword seeking to kill off all my friends

Hyoga, Ikki and Shyriu and other golden saints

Trynna hold our fate, overtake the world and forsake

Any inhabitants, overrun by despots and savages

Who wanna rule, emasculate our pride and embarrass us

I preface this 1000 punches with the strength of Pegasus

Enveloped in an effervescent aura by my precipice

Exceed my limits on the brink on my death

Seeing higher self, push me all the way to the edge

Beat down with my feet down, barely standing

I’m losing blood, all my bones is broke, I’m bruised up

I hear a goddess voice whisper in my ear:

«Po, you got this

You can’t let this devil beat you

The world depends on it»

Then I got burst of clarity, an universal splash

On my conscious, the star exploded in a crucial blast

Balled my fist up saw my sweat beads drip up

Connected fist to chest till the devils heart ripped up

Disappeared into oblivion, sun ray pierced

Right thru the sky, everybody smiling joyful tears

Once again against the odds we tussled again gods

But the righteousness inside of us’ll never let us fall

Whenever duty called and the truth is involved

We rise to any task, shatter all ceilings and walls
