Apashe SLUMBERJACK Wasiu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, tiptoe on the ledge, yeah, live life on the edge, yeah
Pistol to the head, yeah, I'ma die a legend (legend)
Huh?, I'ma die a legend (yeah)
Yeah, I'ma die a, ay

Legendary, yeah, I'll be legendary
Necessary, yeah, saw my death, it's scary
Ancestors dead already, death hereditary
Won't stop unless I'm buried, yeah, and I ain't ever ready, yeah

They say life's a bitch, well, I say fuck it, I'll seduce her, ay
Rock Versace shades in case I run into Medusa, ay
Face to face with death but she was blinded by my jeweler
They say God don't like no ugly, well, I'm lucky 'cause I'm cuter, yeah

I wear all black just in case now
Yeah, fuck the world, I'll be face down
They kissing asses at funerals, I keep 'em pissed like a urinal
Death 'round the corner, don't trust him
Don't even fuck with his cousin
I stay awake 'cause I'm wondering, when will it all fade to nothing?

Nah, fuck that, tell the reaper I ain't ready
I'ma fight him, he ain't scary, I'm a beast and in the Belly
All eyes on me, shut them rarely, I got two packs, come and get me
'Gainst the world and if he get me I'll be back like Makaveli

I can see my death from here
The more I look the less is clear
The end is near, offend your fears
And fuck the tears, this is a legend year
I can see my death from here
The more I look the less is clear
The end is near, offend your fears
And fuck the tears this is a legend year

Legendary, yeah, I'll be legendary, uh, yeah
Necessary, yeah, saw my death, it's scary
Ancestors dead already, yeah, death hereditary
Won't stop unless I'm buried, yeah, and I ain't ever ready, uh
Legendary, uh, I'll be legendary, uh
Necessary, yeah, saw my death, it's scary
Ancestors dead already, yeah, death hereditary
Won't stop unless I'm buried, yeah, and I ain't ever ready, uh

I'ma die a legend
Tiptoe on the ledge, yeah, live life on the edge, yeah
Pistol to the head yeah, I'ma die a legend (legend, legend)
I'ma die a legend (I'ma die a legend)
I'ma die a, ay

I can see my death from here
The more I look the less is clear
The end is near, offend your fears
And fuck the tears, this is a legend year
I can see my death from here
The more I look the less is clear




The end is near, offend your fears
And fuck the tears, this is a legend year

They believe that risking it all and living a life without compromise is the only way to be remembered after death.


The song's lyrics also speak to overcoming the fear of death and not allowing it to stop one from pursuing their dreams. The lines, "Nah, f\*ck that, tell the reaper I ain't ready/I'ma fight him, he ain't scary," signify the artist's unwavering attitude towards facing death head-on. They see themselves as warriors who are willing to face anything that comes their way and believe that their actions will leave a mark on the world.
