Apex Zero
Get up, Stand up That’s what I told myself
Day in, day out When I opened eyes
Another rise to the daily grind Grinding my spirit down
Building the system up For funds
I don’t give a fuck about no company No standards or procedures
I’m thieving out their stock room Standard procedure
Subsidised my wage Didn’t buy groceries for years
Employer verses employee They exploiting me
So I’m exploiting holes in their security system
The nature of capitalism Take what you ain’t given
Everybody out for self So we out for wealth
I did the bare minimum Was still a product on a shelf
Selling hours of my life For pennies in a bank
I’d been on road Swore that I weren’t shottin packs
Weren’t poisoning my people to free myself from…this
Still, don’t mean I’m doing this
Steps were taken to stop feeling forsaken ‘
Stead of bare minimum I do BARE
Now I’m living in a universe that I create
Working on my own terms For the life I choose to make
Not just preserve one that I hate You live once in this time, in this body
Don’t waste it working for nobody ‘
Cept those that you love Define your own existence
You can be whatever you want Focus Be persistent

Ken ol me metaforen ingepeperd, ofgeleverd, ingeleid, ze stoan up blad
wa dak ol rappend geevn is te lijvig voe de zwoartekracht
ne ku me niemi no beneedn trekken ik go no boovn
kbluven zweevn up 7 centimer boven de bodem
ik zien vrijgevochten, van negatieve intuïtie tochten
gin destructieve energie we wringn us nie in bochten
rechtedeure, liefdevolle cyclus
in cruisecontrol rol ek olle roddels toet e rolle van papyrus
zelden woedevol want ik voeln de golf toet upt bot
zien deur t’moanlicht gevormd lik e volger van Thoth
ol me beelden produceer ek met e borstel Van Gogh
e geheel, e morzel van god
e baby van de kosmos, die Clark Kent, mo krypto-niet vrezen
is de sleutel toet succes in e insprospectief leven
nu ziek super man, nie seizoenaal niemi lik mandarijnen
dus 24-7 vul ekik gehele magazien’n
Kzien den 1stn voe te zeggn dak de latsten zien
De hele eodub worldcup stoat ier achter mien
Kzien trots en trouw up olle zotte flows in me gedachtekring
Stabiel, kdroain max 60 groaden lik me wasmachine
Check et, de flow is ofgeliend lik e parketvloer
e stylo in men handn en elke kamer wordt e werkvloer
e micro in men andn en elke zale wordt e zottekot
want tgoa van A-dobe, zoender fakking photoshop
Maslaw
Bemused by their teachings
And the elements they're force feeding I'm foreseeing
A future when the plot don't deepen but gets solved
So many selling it for the price of a soul
Sown is the seed in these sands of time
Soul searching for me to find peace of mind
And master Mas Law The law of mind and spirit
Works as a ying and yang there's a balance up in it
Bring me a blank canvas And I'll paint you an image
So vivid You would believe you're caught in every fine stroke I admitted
Getting lost within the view till the horizon diminishes
Over these great lakes and seas im building bridges
To get across Pick a flight and just get lost
Think I'm in need of a culture shock
Wishing this can be done at our leisure
Where we don't have to battle and fight for a visa
But we battle with the types that don't like life Ebenezer
Who am I to give it all of that I'm just a geezer
Who would love to see the great pyramids of giza
And avoid all these cold hearts stuck in a freezer
I aint young im from the same class as your teachers
Trying to raise up from parasites and bottom feeders
No lemon to the system I am influential
To finding change thru an instrumental
Change comes from within
So don't you go searching for answers
Know the change is right there in you
Change come from within
So don't you go seeking the answers
Know the change starts with you

Kom als een Gods disciple
Alsof ik in ciphers codes ontcijfer
Alsof ik bommen drop op bijbels Zo breng ik de heibel
stuur een voicemail naar de duivel in hel
Spank met de riem, alsof je de bible belt
Dit is de dream team in zn eentje
Verdedig mn leven zonder munitie
Ben sky high, noem me AK 747
Ik body dem dit is Air Canada Met de stamina van KLM
Jullie ziet niet hoe nice ik ben
Alsof ik in Air France in mn sweat pants een frisse salade breng
Ben een chef met een zwaard en pen Salade Nicoise man Show offs in this
je moet er van houden als ansjovis of Anders niks
Sardines in een blik, ik zie dus waarnaar je vist
Omdat je naast aas en haken vaak vaardigheden mistt
Ik wist, dat de hele waarheid wordt betwist
Door de waarzegger met een list
Daar de appel van eva en adam wordt vergist
Oneindige loops van smoke mirrors en wazige tricks
Daarom verbaast het me niks schapen hebben herders een hond een baas maar die baas is een vis
vrij in het water 365 dagen per jaar is het dit
En zo raak ik de pit, de kern van dit
De verboden vrucht van ons bestaan in die shit
Zonder niks heb je alles we zijn ontstaan uit t niks
Basics
You wanna be an MC, well let me tell you all about the instances,
Of long nights, sacrifices and steady wishin' it,
Would all up to somethin', maybe a sum of some riches but,
It takes some real discipline, for instance if,
You up all night like an owl,
it's just the dedication needed so you gotta smile
I'm talking losing sleep for like days at a time,
but staying alive inside of the vibe of ya lines
I'm talking 24/7, 365
the obsession in the life of a rhymer is time
but we can't control the sands spilt and that's no lie
plus life is a beach chair so we sit and we ride
and we surf on the words like the tide's coming in
another spin around the Earth and so it begins
It's kinda like following a course that never ends t
his whole game is a sport and we chasing after wins
With friendships and family neglected,resentment
and stressin a test of resilience,
when u puttin' in on the steps for the mission of recognition i
t's tears blood and sweat, so don't it twisted,
Listen, I can break it down like a sermon,
This life is all about puttin' work in,
Only sign up if u think it's really worth it,
24/7 with intentions and purpose...

Eow ge weet wa da de letter spellen
We gaan tot et diepste van je brein
Welpn u ontsnappen ut jen eigen hersencellen
Je wereld wordt geopend bie et oren van e rijm
Elke verse imponeert
Spit e bar en je verstand implodeert
Dit is internationaal Maakt niet uit in welke taal
Tis de vibe die wordt geïmporteerd
Dit is voor de hand liggend en toch onverwachts
T zin de zonnestralen bie e donderslag
Bekik et als e weekend ip e donderdag
Noem et comfortael ip jen ongemak
Me statement sta stevig wnr dakik e zin flow
Eb e sterk fundament onder me zinsbouw
Ik zet me micro aan
En pak de gram ut grammatica en maat ik maak der kilo’s van
Ik leg gewicht in de skale
E ranzige beeste akik spit in de zale
Niks is zo zalig lik iptreden
Ik geniet van de spotlight gericht ip me trap
Ik trek de grens ergens anders
Van Uk na NY en vandaar na West Vlanders
Zelfstandig als punchline spitter
“Lunchtimee” ik maak me punchlines dikker
Change comes from within
So don't you go searching for answers
Know the change is right there in you
Change come from within
So don't you go seeking the answers
Know the change starts with you

You aint got it like you used to have it, See you was slackin,
and you aint practice, and didn’t pick up newer habits/
You knew it’d happen, we movin past em, this movie’s tragic,
This is what pressure could do to rappers
I seen growth every year on the scene, I been steerin this dream
to tiers so unseen by peers in my league
no longer in my league at all,
Ain’t throwing shots, yall want the truth? well ima keep it raw
I used to be jealous of every little thing that these niggas accomplished n
ow niggas is jealous of me that shit ironic
But my jealousy was bout bein great I was inspired
they jealously comes along with hate and they lyin
When they tell me that they happy for me
They keep the peace so they clappin for me, they still puttin on a rap performance
Off stage, im back stage, im havin conversations
about the paces our lives been takin
Been sayin graces, but never in God’s graces
in places where satan is most flagrant
Maybe... I’m wrong and just pessimistic Im tryna see better pictures
cuz all the blessings get stuck, under the stressins nigga
Forget the negatives, I’m positive my public posturing
will put in me in position to properly pummel my plights
Fuckin with us? I think not
