Effortless - Mars Ill, X:144

I was born at the break of dawn, raised by the breakbeat

Breaking all the rules set in place to try to break me

Break or break a check one-two seven-oh-eight-three

Shake up the system on Peachtree and 8th street

Down the block from don’t stop, barkin' at you

Talk is cheap, i invested in speech to raise the market value

Danger’s all around the world same song

So I light a fire with any forty acres that I’m placed on

Stay strong in the eyes of adversity

Play on through the heat, wave and rise as the mercury

Applied to the you and i, verse to ear right now

Burn style, then return with a slight smile

Miles past the open season and the warning shots

I know the reason I was born to rock

God pumping in my veins, love encoded in my name

And I’m the only soul who can conquer this terrain

Navigate the treacherous, make it seem effortless

Run like the wind, then fly like a Pegasus

And where you at?

I’m right here livin' it

Tellin' everybody don’t stop until it finishes

And where you at?

I’m right here givin' it

All that I got because life is never limited

Looks like a short walk, actually an exodus

Navigate the treacherous and make it seem effortless

I walk on this plain to sustain love’s reign

Not afraid to go against the wind or winds change

Pray as a hustler, let the love settle

It’s a shame our adversaries break skin or mettle

I’ma pursue the goal until the steam breaks the kettle apart

To start the search for excellence within experience

Leave trails of crumbs until we shed food for thought

Then walk as an exodus and pass it to a million

Accidents turn to tragedies in search for fear

Seven seas were drawn by the drops of seven tears

Misery turns to sadness, madness becomes clear

Doubt is no longer an issue amongst our peers

Confidence is not mistaken for ego stare

Hip-hoppers no longer affected by what they wear

Nine-to-five slaves are free from what they bear

Grace is no longer susceptible 'cause no one cares

Water is now free of me percent is seventy

Hell is no longer on earth because the mind is heavenly

Focus on the purpose to modify what’s not guaranteed

And move fast than the slower that decorated by treachery

Navigate the treacherous, make it seem effortless

Run like the wind, then fly like a Pegasus

And where you at?

I’m right here livin' it

Tellin' everybody don’t stop until it finishes

And where you at?

I’m right here givin' it

All that I got because life is never limited

Looks like a short walk, actually an exodus

Navigate the treacherous and make it seem effortless

Mountain to a mole hill, river to a stream

Make the complex simple, turn an army to a team

By any means seems like it’s your only option

And a riot now resembles nothing better than a mosh pit

Oceans a puddle and a hurricane is rain

Obvious is subtle and complicated is plain

Debate is conversation and wild things are tamed

Torture’s only pain and change stays the same

Terrorism, revolution, slavery, and restitution

Gotta give it all to break it up and get it movin'

Dark is transparent so we slice it with a flashlight

X-in' out your circle, blow the spot like a bagpipe

Livin' the fast life, project slow motion

Just so you can get in which direction that i’m goin'

It’s the common denominator, love child moderator

Got a lot to say to all of y’all but Ima stop till later

Navigate the treacherous, make it seem effortless

Run like the wind, then fly like a Pegasus

And where you at?

I’m right here livin' it

Tellin' everybody don’t stop until it finishes

And where you at?

I’m right here givin' it

All that I got because life is never limited

Looks like a short walk, actually an exodus

Navigate the treacherous and make it seem effortless
