Lyrics Danced with the Devil - Napoleon Da Legend

Cinema verite say the things they never say
Poet emeritus survive drama like Mary J
Heard rapper is selling out bending over like Sara Jay
Gerimandering culture like every single day

May I kick a little something for the heads
Who need this motivation to make it until tomorrow
Here's a blueprint you can follow
Without rubbing on a tree bark like showtime at the Apollo

Manufactured images but they body stay hollow
Empty shells they market and sell you like bottle of
Ciroc and spring water and commodify ya pain
If your beauty standard don't match they can modify ya frame

Surgery and hormones perjury thats heard up in ya flow though
Prototype got you posing in these photos
They bout to sell us air soon along with a pair of shoes
Stars catapulted to the sky with no parachutes

The mirrors and the smoke the sharp witted like Cyrano
De Bergerac who then peddle lies to cheers of joy
Ya idols could be ya very worse influencers
Contaminating minds like the Spanish influenza

The other night, I danced with the devil
Who made a promise to make me advance a few levels
Dug up jewels with a shovel found skeletons
Compromising information deemed sensitive

The other night, I danced with the devil
Who made a promise to make me advance a few levels
Dug up jewels with a shovel found skeletons
Compromising information deemed sensitive

Fortune are made
Crime revealed at a later date
How they got there?
Foul play there's no doubt it

We just products that they move around the chess board
Design they strategy to expert levels before they export
Watching you from next door can easily get x-ed off

You just became another public figure they can extort
Made three consecutive right turns to see who's following
Three cats from Malawi looking sus inside the gallery

When money gets involved that's when shady shit starts
Paranoid even ya friends start looking like the narcs
Feeling stalked I need to chill out relax and cop a room out of town
Gather my thoughts for I back round
Is the stress worth it?
How can this success have you hurting?

Images of living lavish but the real is less perfect?
But that's a choice could have stayed anonymous right
I went towards the light
Big stages with my logo shining bright?
Pros and cons
When you pro gotta take the cons

Neo-cointelpro rooks bishops and the paws
Always a bigger fish up in the pond and we all play a role
Daily it's a fight to save ya soul

The other night, I danced with the devil
Who made a promise to make me advance a few levels
Dug up jewels with a shovel found skeletons
Compromising information deemed sensitive

The other night, I danced with the devil
Who made a promise to make me advance a few levels
Dug up jewels with a shovel found skeletons
Compromising information

Deemed relevant a yo when you play this game
It's a choice
You know what you getting into
You know what you wanna get out of it
So move accordingly

Put up or shut up
Don't make decisions out of emotions or anger or nothing like that
Keep a clear head

Map out strategize write shit down
Execute and be great
Anything less you just taking up space
