APEX IN THE MAKING [Intro] Done chasing two-faced Too fake Talking to who? A is for Alpha Apex in the making [Verse 1] Done chasing two-faced Too fake, make room You smile when I face you Then poison the room A is for Alpha I’m apex in the making Not claiming I made it I’m honoring the training I’m dominating doubt For the honor that is waiting I won’t arrive late I’ve been early every day Fasting while they feast Training while they play No softness in my schedule No place to hide away Work, fatherhood, faith Then the weights upon the plate I am lion-minded I get stronger when I ache I clean my plate Get out my face And out my way I know the way That’s all that I can say [Chorus] Apex in the making Don’t confuse me with made I’m still fighting every weakness I’m still sharpening the blade Apex in the making Every hunger has a name I don’t starve because I’m empty I am teaching flesh restraint Apex in the making I got calluses from pain You can stare beneath the hoodie You still cannot see the weight [Verse 2] Walk inside the gym See the beautiful and vain Bodies built like temples With some ugliness in frame Influencers laughing At the ones afraid to train Like they came into the world Already sculpted that way Someone heavy took a step That you were too proud to praise It takes strength to face a mirror When the world mocks your shape I remember being watched Without a welcome or a smile Then the hoodie came off And the room changed for a while Same man underneath it Same spirit, different eyes Now attention finds me worthy Because muscle changed the light That can make a good man bitter If he doesn’t recognize Some people only love the proof They never loved the climb [Chorus] Apex in the making Don’t confuse me with made I’m still fighting every weakness I’m still sharpening the blade Apex in the making Every hunger has a name I don’t starve because I’m empty I am teaching flesh restraint Apex in the making I got calluses from pain You can stare beneath the hoodie You still cannot see the weight [Bridge] I wanted something gentle But the world kept handing stone So I learned to hold myself When I had to walk alone Now they call me hard Like hardness happened overnight They never saw me needing love And choosing not to beg The strongest thing I ever did Was feel it and stay led [Final Verse] I see every sideways look I know when the temperature shifts I know who laughed before the change And who is staring at the fit It doesn’t get beneath my skin The callus grew too thick But I put it in the music So you know that I know it The tide will flip The room will rise The hoodie will come down The same ones acting blind today Will swear they saw me now I won’t shrink to make you peaceful I won’t hide to make you great If my growth reminds you of your weakness Grow—don’t hate [Final Chorus] Apex in the making Every scar became a grade I didn’t ask the world to love me I became what I was made Apex in the making Let them watch and let them wait I’m not standing at the summit I’m becoming every day [Outro] Done chasing two-faced Too fake Apex in the making
