Effortless
The Herd feat. Braintax Lyrics

We never asked for your permission
We did not seek your approval beforehand

or requested assistance
Nor did we ask for aid

So I put my hand on my heart
I humbly apologize

and beg for forgiveness
Asking for pardon for any offense caused

We had a point of difference (?) but god damm (?)
We had differing opinions, but it's frustrating

So maybe you better stick to the pond
Perhaps it's best if you stay in your own lane

Only when you want from me
You only come to me when you need something

I’ve been patient framed a few paintings
I have taken the time to create works of art

Some the emanated out of radio station
Some of my art has been broadcasted on the radio

Hold the shit down like it was family traditions
I am dedicated to maintaining the status quo like it's a family custom

Till the dead ridicule the living
I will continue to persevere until my enemies are silenced forever

So while I keep my letters regimented and embedded
I choose my words carefully and deliberately

Objected instinctive hecklers Sucked in and infected.
I can handle criticism and negativity while staying true to myself

Dope players making it look effortless
Skilled artists who make their craft look easy

It's like SOS the herd one of the best there is
Our group is one of the most talented in the business

and Shock horror the dogs got no collar
The competition is weak and unorganized

All he got is on Are you waiting for us to spell it out?
All they have is what we have already revealed

Well I’m not indulging I’m loose jointed,
I won't be swayed by flattery or criticism

You don’t like it then you avoid it, get it?
If you don't appreciate our art, then don't listen to it

Ruff
Exclamation indicating the end of the previous thought

Man just stop, with all that hula bulula.
Cease your meaningless chatter

You see there’s more to this biz than homophobia and mula
There are other important issues in the music industry besides prejudice and money

it’s a movement the foundation solid
Our artistic endeavor is a revolution built on a strong foundation

This pack of packet (dubs)? making your crew sound horrid
Our music is superior to that of other artists

And little whipper snapper wanna get on the net diss,
Younger, less experienced artists seeking to insult us on the internet

Then you got the gall to hit me up for the guest list
Then have the audacity to ask for VIP access

I guess this is nothing new you two faced jaynus
This is nothing new, people who pretend to be our fans but secretly dislike us

You best drop your pants you wanna talk out your anus
You should be truthful if you want to speak your mind

I’ll say it plainly, your ignorance is my nemesis.
I will not tolerate ignorance as it is my greatest enemy

We shine on the track illuminate you mind crevasses
Our music illuminates the unknown recesses of your mind

Like prowlers on your premises penetrate perimeters
We infiltrate your thoughts like sneaky prowlers

And redraw your parameters with sonnets and pentameters
We change the way you think with our poetic lyrics

Bam!
Exclamation indicating a change in subject

It's time to settle it like sediment
It is time to resolve this issue permanently

These celebrants are eloquent and making it seem effortless
We make our artistic prowess look easy

Elephants stamped beats smash clichés your encased in
Our unique beats shatter the traditional molds you are used to

So tell me, hows the devon tasting
A rhetorical question, implying that the listener is not worth talking to about more meaningful things

Seems simple you make it seem effortless
Our craft looks easy to those who don't understand the complexity of it

Ease up on the breath just for emphasis
Use your breath to control your delivery

Take a shot you ain’t getting next to this
Try your best, but you will never be as good as we are

You're forever apprentices
You will always be inferior to us

I will recline
I will relax

I will take my god damn time
I will not be rushed

Talk slow say something and stop your mind
Pause and think before speaking

I’m braintax gonna start the cerebral flow
I am going to start my thoughtful and intelligent rhymes

Easy though, still have minutes and words to go
Take it slow, there is still more to come

Correction of depression, what my anger incurs
My music corrects sadness, while my anger fuels my lyrics

Steady in the rat race rap confurs
I am confident and steady in the competitive rap industry

Never slave to the phoney
I will never be a victim of fake or insincere people

Tunnel vision ain't us
We have a broad, wide-ranging perspective

cant see my light and you're lonely?
Can't you appreciate my shining talent instead of feeling envious and alone?

The same dubs check my carbon usage
My talent is environmentally friendly and sustainable

Gonna out flow larva with my monsoon Stupid
I am going to outdo lesser artists with my powerful talent

Say something like breaking silence
My music speaks volumes, breaking through silence and apathy

No violence here we stay peace the shit
Our music promotes peace and positivity

Say something on the track for peace n shit
Let's put some good vibes on this track

Thermostat won't work and your copiers broke
Implies that others' music can't keep up with ours

Can’t copy me regardless stop the joke
No one can imitate my true originality

Tug-o-war I can’t play but I made the rope
I don't participate in petty arguments but I have the power to sway opinions

Player, you best just fold your cards
You better quit while you're ahead

You made a dust bowl out of your back yard
Your failed endeavors have left you with nothing but dust and dirt

It wasn’t the hard we just fed the crops
We worked hard and saw results, unlike you

Back since when we gave heads the bops
Our music has been popular for a long time

Heads is lost his edge a lot but when they slip,
Other artists lose their talent over time, but our group stays strong

We will catch them I stay anti-fashion
We won't conform to trends or styles, we stay true to ourselves

With a passion for perfection
We strive for excellence in everything we do

As if each new track that’s rapped on
Each new song is like a fresh start

Could be a new direction
Representing progress and a new creative direction

Egg shells you should stay on
Be careful not to offend or anger us

With a HB, pentel or a crayon
Even with basic tools, we can create something impressive

It’s still what you say on
What you say is still what matters most

And on and on you could wander on
You could keep going on and on, but it won't make a difference

Chuckin' shit around like you were Donkey Kong.
Acting like a brute and causing chaos

The time's too long gone for beating round the bush
It's time to be direct and honest

If you ain't saying nothing, pipe down and shush.
If you don't have anything meaningful to say, be quiet

Being liked by the right people is vital
Having the approval of influential people can make or break your career

Is this hip hop or Australian Idol
Are we making meaningful music, or just playing into the superficiality of popular culture?
