LYRICS:
Yeah, Yeah
Kid Napoleon 
Name ring through the hall 
Like a podium  
Thought I’d rule the world 
By sophomore year 
Now the empire’s dust
Nobody here  

Cuz autocrat like that
Don’t give nothin’ back  
Take the crown
Break it down
Watch the empire crack  
Cuz autocrat like that
Don’t give nothin’ back  
Now I’m sittin’ in the silence 
Where my shadow raps  

Jason Nada, fifteen
Bored in class  
Found a tricorn hat
Started spittin’ fast  

Hand in my coat
Thought I looked like a king  
High school hallways bowed 
When I started to sing  
Got a clique in the lunchroom
Fans in the bleachers  
Bars sharper than the rulers 
Of my history teachers  

Yeah, I studied empire
I knew how they fell  
But I swore I’d be the genius 
Who rewrote the tale  

Cuz autocrat like that
Don’t give nothin’ back  
Take the crown
Break it down
Watch the empire crack  

Cuz autocrat like that
Don’t give nothin’ back  
Now I’m sittin’ in the silence 
Where my shadow rap

First, cut the teachers 
Who were hatin’ my grind  
Then the lunch staff starvin’ me
Wastin’ my time  
Counselors talkin’ like 
I’m just one more stat  
Nah, I’m Kid Napoleon
Remember that  

Took the wrestlers down in rhymes
Cheer squad too  
Every “enemy” I listed 
Got erased from my crew  
But paranoia’s a poison — 
My friends looked fake  
If trust is a test
Every student breaks  

Who can I trust? 
Not you, not me  
Every crown in the mirror 
Lookin’ treachery  
Every empire falls
I read that fact  
But I thought I was different… 
Til the ceiling cracked  

Who can I trust? 
Not you, not me  
Every crown in the mirror 
Lookin’ treachery  
Every empire falls
I read that fact  
But I thought I was different… 
Til the ceiling cracked  

Now the hallways echo 
With nobody’s feet  

Empty gym, empty class
Empty throne, empty seat  
No applause for my verses
No teacher to grade  
No rivals left standin’
No crowd to persuade  

I destroyed my own kingdom 
For a crown too tight  
And I’m alone with my rhymes 
In the flicker of the light  
Kid Napoleon
Age fifteen
That’s that  
Cuz autocrat like that… 
Autocrat like that!

That’s the tale of Nada
Yeah
Jason’s gone  
You destroy 
Until nothing’s left to lean upon  
Remember this empire
Built on pride and rap  
Cuz autocrat like that… 

You don’t get nothin’ back.

Cuz Autocrat Like That

LYRICS:
Yeah, Yeah
Kid Napoleon 
I thought I ruled the hall 

15 years old
Thought I’d conquer it all
Sophomore year 
Crown heavy on my head
Now the empire’s gone
Every echo is dead

Cuz autocrat like that
Don’t give nothin’ back  
Take the crown
Break it down
Watch the empire crack  

Cuz autocrat like that
Don’t give nothin’ back  
Now I’m sittin’ in the silence

I'm dropping a new single for my next album on my main channel this coming Friday 17th! Premiere will go up in a few days, you can presave it on Spotify here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/tapehead1/heaven-sent

I have no idea what my favourite De La Soul album is, they all have their own flavour and stand out moments that make them classic imo. Do you have a favourite album or track from them? They defo have one of the most impressive overall catalogues of music in Hip Hop.

Peace!!

The Marvelous Mysteries of The Mighty Mos Def (The Yasiin Files)

InnerEarPower is a DJing platform specializing in all things soulful. Throughout my life, I’ve always been passionate about the power of music/vibration, and how it influences us as a human race. The healing power of music has the ability to transmute and transform our energy on a cellular level, for better or for worse. This is why with InnerEarPower, I’ve come into the role of being a sound vibration curator, behind the scenes architect of the “vibe’ & essence of a moment a.k.a “DJ”. The term “DJ” holds much more weight and responsibility than people give it credit for nowadays. In our culture, people have gravitated towards DJs for therapy, healing, celebration, and escape from the troubles they experience in their reality. With that being said, I find it important to create high vibrational experiences through sound, that provides the space for people to become one with themselves via the universal heartbeat…….. rhythm. We all have an “InnerEar” (some more heightened than others) that allows us to hear the voice of divinity, the Universe, “God”, or whatever term you personally resonate with. The InnerEar is also sensitive to tones & vibrations, which control almost everything in this world. The goal/mission of InnerEarPower is to lead the collective back to a space where we cherished the sacredness of music, prior to the frequency (Hz) being lowered for control purposes. The problem AND the solution has always been reflected in the music culturally.

The "In Tha Groove Podcast w/ Groovy Gene" is an in-depth look into the male perspective on a plethora of different subjects surrounding "THE CULTURE"

SINCERE IMPOSTER writes, performs and/or produces a curious mixture of New Wave, Dance, EDM, Folk Rock, Metal, Art Pop, Electro, Dreamwave & Experimental World Pop. Collectively, it's a genre known as QUIRKPOP --- Music that makes you say, "What the hell is this?"

The band currently consists of two members, both living within the same body, sharing a similar existence. They identify as Danielle & Dave. They are both psychologically and musically confused. However, both are extremely and unapologetically sincere. 

Influences include Weird Al, Nathan Fielder, David Lynch, Rosalia, Monatik, Atarashii Gakko!, Rammstein, T-Pain and T-Swift. Their favorite inventions are the vacuum and the peach pitter. Their father is simply known as Vessel... who may be an entity or a god.
