Ow (Ow)

Uh, uh (Uh, uh)

Uh, uh (Uh, uh)

Uh, uh (Uh, uh)

It's like (It's like)

[Verse 1: Joey Bada$$]

Sometimes I feel alienated

Because I'm not up in the stadium playing or on the radio sayin'

"Fuck 'em broads, we don't love 'em, we degradin' 'em!"

But always find my self back at the bacchanalian

Blood vessels poppin' out my craniums

Niggas askin' when the tape gon' drop, but I got nothin' to say to them

Because I been slacking the skill, although my passion is real

I'm too caught up catching a feel when I should be cashin' a mil

It's something bout me being younger that affected my hunger

Got older in number, realized I can't count on these hundreds

To determine my elation

Pursuit of happiness, I keep pacin', these motherfuckas racist

These ain't fair races, they just let the fear erase us

Adopted by the slums, son of guns, this is how they raised us

Yo son we gotta raise up, don't let them just array us

'Til we raisins in the sun, so we gotta wake up

[Chorus: T'nah Apex]

'Cause they always be behind in the cut

Always in the skies watchin' stars when they up

So don't you confide into the evil and corrupt

This is urgent, Apex on the vertex, tonight we're serving serpents

'Cause they always be behind in the cut

Always in the skies watchin' stars when they up

So don't you confide into the evil and corrupt

This is urgent

[Verse 2: Joey Bada$$]

Got a whole bunch of shit up on my plate now

Thinkin' like in the man garden, it's a snake now

'Cause I don't know who to believe or who to deceive

Got me thinkin' I sold my soul and ain't received a receipt

But I won't proceed to retreat, Jigga told me watch your throne seat

And now I sees it and in respect to B.I.G., I gotta cease it

And I hope he see me, 'cause these niggas don't want beef with my talents

They ain't fit for this green, they just caesar salad

You think because you avid they just gonna let you have it?

It's a lot to learn and that my nigga need to ask us

It's the axis of the earth at the birth, I found a new balance

And now I walk on water like I knew balance

Just like a relative, marijuana sedatives

Got me thinkin' I should put a bomb right where the Senate is

'Cause they corruptin' the youth, we ain't inductin' the truth

Lookin' at the president like, "Yo, it must be nothin' to you"

[Chorus: T'nah Apex]

'Cause they always be behind in the cut

Always in the skies watchin' stars when they up

So don't you confide into the evil and corrupt

This is urgent, Apex on the vertex, tonight we're serving serpents

'Cause they always be behind in the cut

Always in the skies watchin' stars when they up

So don't you confide into the evil and corrupt

This is urgent

[Verse 3: Joey Bada$$]

I passed the dutch to the left and it started to make sense

It's funny how I see it more straight when I'm bent

You've been warned on the risk it takes to sit on top

Been on clock 'cause you could see that I been on watch

Shit don't stop, 'til you make the sacrifices

Trade in what's priceless to ices and devices

When the light switch, I shift like I'm typin'

Livin' in the era where Christ is the crisis

The lifeless in the trance actin like yo mans

Bitch niggas only know that transactions is the plans

But the mic is in my hands, so I valor the booth

The blacker the berry is, the more sour the fruit

They ejectin' us to make us cowards to the power of truth

Became flowers from roots, and now we just move in cahoots

I move from the stoop and put my foot right down on the asphalt

Every night I ask Lord if this what I asked for

[Chorus: T'nah Apex]

'Cause they always be behind in the cut

Always in the skies watchin' stars when they up

So don't you confide into the evil and corrupt

This is urgent, Apex on the vertex, tonight we're serving serpents

'Cause they always be behind in the cut

Always in the skies watchin' stars when they up

So don't you confide into the evil and corrupt

This is urgent

'Cause they always be behind in the cut

Always in the skies watchin' stars when they up

So don't you confide into the evil and corrupt

This is urgent, Apex on the vertex, tonight we're serving serpents

'Cause they always be behind in the cut

Always in the skies watchin' stars when they up

So don't you confide into the evil and corrupt

This is urgent
