Apex
Ky Rodgers Lyrics

Can I get away?
Can I find a way to escape from the stresses and struggles of life?

Place my mind up in a better state
Can I find a way to improve my mental state and focus on the positive?

They all sleeping on me
People are unaware of my potential and are not taking me seriously.

While I'm dreaming, wide awake
I am constantly thinking about my goals and aspirations and working to achieve them.

Been outer space, puffin planes
I have been using drugs to escape reality and cope with the challenges of life.

Trying to hide away
I am trying to avoid the problems in my life by escaping into drugs or other distractions.

Like college students
College students also use drugs and other distractions to avoid their problems and cope with stress.

I ain't ever gave my mind a break
I have never taken time to rest and recharge my mental and emotional batteries.

To tell the truth
Honestly speaking,

I ain't ever took a day off
I have never given myself a true break from the daily grind and stress of life.

They say time is money
There is a common saying that time is valuable and should be used wisely.

I'm invested, hope it pay off
I am putting in a lot of effort and sacrificing time and energy with the hope that it will eventually pay off in the form of success and financial security.

All these different faces
I have encountered many different people and situations in my life.

Been to several locations
I have been to many different places in the world.

And I still have yet to take off
Despite all of these experiences, I have not yet achieved my full potential or reached my goals.

Won't tolerate no flight delay
I am determined to achieve my goals and will not let anything or anyone get in my way.

Please understand
I am trying to convey a message, so I hope you can comprehend and relate to what I am saying.

The way the world lies in my hands
I am responsible for my own future and have the power to shape my own destiny.

I gotta take care of the fam
I have a responsibility to take care of my family and provide for them.

It's all just a part of becoming a man
Responsibly taking care of my family is an important part of growing up and transitioning into adulthood.

Whether it's hustling by the gram
Whether I am selling drugs or working hard at a legitimate job,

Or scrubbing the pans
Or doing menial, low-paying labor such as washing dishes,

I do what I can
I am doing the best I can with the resources and opportunities that I have.

Stick to the plan
I am following a strategy or course of action to reach my goals.

I promise, one day
I am confident and hopeful that someday,

They gon' know just who I am
People will become aware of my talents and recognize me for my accomplishments.

Roll one, face that
Roll and smoke a joint, focus on your feelings and thoughts

Now we at the apex
Now we have reached the highest point of our high

Find this dope sound profound
I find my music to be deep and introspective.

Cause they do not know my name yet
I am not yet famous or well-known in the music industry.

I get so high
When I smoke marijuana,

I don't ever wanna come down
I do not want to return to reality or soberness.

Man, I've been on my shit for too long
I have been working hard and striving for success for a long time.

When I get that phone call
When I receive an important call or opportunity,

I swear, I'm gone
I will immediately leave and take advantage of the opportunity.

Let me roll another one and let's get stoned
Let me smoke more marijuana and continue to explore my thoughts and feelings.

I've been thinking bout the money and power
I have been focusing on achieving wealth and influence in my life.

I've been grinding every hour
I have been working hard and tirelessly to achieve my goals.

But it's hard when your homies
It is difficult when the people around you,

Fuck around and turn sour
Betray you or become negative in their attitudes towards your success.

But that's okay
However, I will not let this deter me from my goals.

I'mma focus on myself and gettin' paid
I will focus on my own success and financial stability.

Don't worry bout me, homie
Do not concern yourself with my situation, friend.

Just know that I'm gettin' baked, ooh
Just know that I am smoking marijuana and enjoying myself.
