Apache
The Chiefs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a step back
Listen what I'm saying
Apache Appleseed I'm dropping seeds
And I ain't playing
Hair is yellow, now I'm feelin like a sayian
Ride around the city droppin seeds know what I'm sayin
They say I flow like butter
That mean apache one smooth mother fucker
I can't hear what you say
I been high all day
Bout to pull up to bank
It's been a while since I cared bout what you think
Once I took a tab of acid
And I was never the same
The things that I see
Aren't like back in the day
Everything's gonna change
Yeah I guess I did too
Tryna do it for the better
And then be the living proof
Easier said than done
But imma show it to you
That means I'm on mission
And I know what imma do
Imma keep dropping tracks
And that's cause I have to
Watch me drop a track
It's gon change a bad mood
Apache Appleseed
Boy you know what imma do
If ever stop rapping I'm a clone
So now you know
Watch me smoke a blunt to the dome
His raps so fitting, make you feel like you at home
Evolving, I feel different
Clean like the dishes
Gon like the flash, you missed it
I'm dropping gifts like it's Christmas
That's means you can scratch me off the wish list
Dropping these seeds, now I'm here
Just like magic, appeared out of nowhere




I'm different but do not fear
The things that I say'll make you drop a tear
