Growing up, Prynce was a vibrant youth as he played several sports including football, basketball, and track and field in addition to singing in school choirs, and participating in school plays and dances. His parents, who raised Prynce in a Baptist church, were very strict in nature, as Prynce was not even allowed to listen to rap music until he was 12 years of age. Despite their ‘tough-love’, Prynce learned many lifelong lessons. Most importantly, he learned to appreciate the foundation his parents gave him realizing that his parents laid the foundation that enabled Cydel Young to remain true to who he found himself to be, CyHi The Prynce
In the latter part of 2007, Prynce became acquainted the Konvict Muzik collective and was officially signed with the label in January 2008, right before accepting a sub-label deal with Def Jam Records in February 2009. The talented star is currently gearing up for the release of his newest street anthem, entitled “Go Outside” from his debut album “The Hardway Musical”. Deemed a musical movie, this message delivering compilation is set to feature several hip hop heavyweights.
When asked about “The Hardway Musical”, the Prynce humbly states, “This album shows the emerging transformation of Prynce into CyHi The Prynce. It’s like the grooming of a prince because it displays my lyrical growth and dedication to the genre of music that hoisted me into the mainstream hip-hop music industry.”
This young, yet innovative MC embodies what many rappers lack; personality, significant lyrics, quality music and distinction. His alluring versatility has already created a positive buzz about his rap lyrics in the music industry, landing him mainstream recognition in various publications and hip hop websites.
Napoleon
CyHi The Prynce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(The Napoleon complex is when short men)
(Over compensate for being short) Cyhi!
(Usually by being really aggressive)
Y'all know what time it is!
[Verse 1]
Huh, young prince with the soul of Napoleon
At the Gagosian and my ho is Cambodian
While I'm smoking, I send her to the store for some o's-ium
Huh, if I ain't hot, you must be smoking that opium
Or that shit Hector gave Smoke' and 'em (Sup Smokey!)
In that Impala, but ain't nobody dope as him
So, hip-hop, it's time to hold the symposium
Or a seminar with no podium
For all the lame niggas throwing sodium, on my name, no Utopian
My fans are like the '96 Lakers, coach, throw Kobe in!
Remember seven Knicks at night, no Nickelodeon
Now I'm pulling chicks at night feelin' like Scorpion
Dr. Kevorkian all in ya ho fallopian
Got her in the car givin' toppings, anchovy-ing
[Verse 2]
Speaking of cars, they rush ours like 4 P.M
How you a gangsta but on Instagram emoji-ing?
In America, niggas dying over pussy
In the Middle East, they dying over petroleum
A pound in a FoodSaver look like a head of lettuce
Niggas steal my metaphors like I never said it
Try to battle me, you gon' need a paramedics
That means two, a pair of medics
And a helicopter full of hella doctors
For sounding like Andy Milanokis on the teleprompter
Huh, let's get it poppin', Orville Redenbacher
Don't make my partner kill your dog with that Cruella chopper
Hotter than that red sriracha, can't care less about ya
The last thing I'm tryna be is fresh when the feds is watching
No disrespect to my nigga Chainz
But, when the feds really watching, that shit'll wreck ya brain
That's why I left the game but, if I had to do some time
I'll still make money from the pen like Ester Dean
And I could go to jail for some shit I did at 17
God knows where I would be if I never dreamed
[Verse 3]
Huh, the dopest nigga in our decade
I don't rest, hey, cause these hoes give me a headache
Huh, I'm out in L.A., I never went to school
For writing but I'm still good with them essays
Every bitch I had end up fucking the squad
No love in my heart, back then, I wasn't that smart
But, I went into some classes overseas
Now all I do is study abroad... Get it? Study a broad?
What I learned is that these hoes'll tear your buddies apart
Now it's Greek mythology cause I run with the gods
Street astrology cause I'm one with the stars
[Verse 4]
You gon' need your liquor license just to fuck with my bars
Puffin' cigars, leave the show to a lovely ménage
Huh, thumbin' through the check like I'm shufflin' cards
Bullet wounds left my friends with the ugliest scars
Revenge'll get ya even but what are your odds?
A "get it away" woulda-da get ya stomped with a charge, huh
Flowing so ethical, plus I'm cold and poetical
It's my time according to this gold ultra perpetual, uh
Ghetto activist, I'm not a Devil's advocate
As humble as a dove but I run with some savages
Catch my goons laying on a nigga, mattresses
Yee ain't from the streets if you thought that was some faggot shit
[Verse 5]
My ratchet is always in the car so please don't clap in it
Cause they haters wanna see you holy like the Catholic
You don't know the half of it, gladiator Maximus
We ain't in the same class, you algebra, I'm calculus
On my neck is a charm of the man who stayed in Nazareth
My mind just so deep, I swear that you couldn't fathom this
Huh, and rap is like college
I'm working on my doctorate cause I already mastered it
Huh, yesterday I talked to Yeezus
I said I'm paranoid, that's why I always got a heater
Huh, so if a nigga try to sneak ya
All you hear is "bang, boom, pow", onomatopoeia
Then I'm gone...
In “Napoleon,” CyHi The Prynce raps about his success in the music industry and the challenges he has faced along the way. The song sees CyHi referencing Napoleon Bonaparte, the infamous French Emperor who conquered much of Europe in the early 19th century despite standing at just 5'7". Through clever wordplay and a confident flow, CyHi presents himself as the "young prince with the soul of Napoleon." He also touches on themes of love, betrayal, and the consequences of street life.
In the first verse, CyHi boasts of his wealth and gives a nod to his Cambodian girlfriend who runs errands for him. He also calls out his haters who spread rumors about him, proclaiming that his fans are loyal and supportive. In the second verse, he talks about the dangers of street life and how being successful doesn't necessarily mean you're protected from harm. CyHi showcases his poetic skills in the third verse, comparing himself to Greek gods and acknowledging the mistakes he's made with women in the past. Finally, in the fourth and fifth verses, he warns his enemies to stay away while referencing his faith and his relationship with Kanye West.
Overall, "Napoleon" is a powerful display of CyHi The Prynce's lyrical ability and his unique perspective on life as a successful hip-hop artist.
Line by Line Meaning
Huh, young prince with the soul of Napoleon
I may be small but I have the heart of a conqueror
I see art, like I know the custodian
I have a keen eye for beauty like a museum curator
At the Gagosian and my ho is Cambodian
I frequent elite art galleries and have a Cambodian lover
If I ain't hot, you must be smoking that opium
I'm so talented and skilled that anyone who thinks otherwise must be high or delusional
So, hip-hop, it's time to hold the symposium
I'm so great that a conference should be held to discuss my talent
Try to battle me, you gon' need a paramedics
If you dare challenge me, you'll need emergency medical attention due to the lyrical beating I'll give you
No disrespect to my nigga Chainz
I don't mean to insult my friend Chainz by saying this, but it's true
The dopest nigga in our decade
I'm the most talented artist of our generation
Every bitch I had end up fucking the squad
All of my past lovers ended up sleeping with my friends
Street astrology cause I'm one with the stars
I'm so in tune with the universe and my surroundings that it's like I can predict the future
My ratchet is always in the car so please don't clap in it
I always carry a gun in my car and don't want anyone to fire a weapon inside
You don't know the half of it, gladiator Maximus
You have no idea of the challenges I've faced, like the gladiator Maximus in the movie Gladiator
On my neck is a charm of the man who stayed in Nazareth
I wear a necklace with a charm of Jesus, who lived in the town of Nazareth
Yesterday I talked to Yeezus
I had a conversation with my friend Kanye West, who calls himself Yeezus
All you hear is 'bang, boom, pow', onomatopoeia
The sound of my gunshots will be so loud and distinct that it's like onomatopoeia

@gringo
About that last comment, he's really dope. However I would be curious to see him freestyle vs King Los. I doubt he would be on Los' level in a freestyle, but I think that CyHi makes much better songs than Los.
Good top 5 btw :)
@sp3taan
David Vonderhaar's Mother Listening to this song and comparing to rappers career's is just a fucking joke. Bitch please, CyHi removes each and every fucking rapper off the map by ease. No but really. CyHi is the best we have presented in our time. Fuck, hes even doper than 80-90% of the known rappers back in golden era days of rap/hiphop. You just cant fuck with CyHi.
