E-F-F-E-C-T - Greenhouse [Intro] [Illogic talking] Yeah. I can start right here, comin' in right? Yeah, uh huh, check, yo... [Verse One] [Illogic] Please allow me to step into the arena where my zenith lives We just hijacked destiny to pilot what your speakers give Even violence has a place in silent riots, we the bridge To cross the oceans on a bed of clouds I'll settle down when I start to live As an artist, I'm apart of all that touches me I gather hearts by faith you'd rather plan to gather mustard seeds In case you got a taste for mustard greens I must agree to pay the rent Keep the lights ablaze plus the dreams stay content to God I pray Where I land to end this odyssey it's hard to say My artistry is present this year, could be gone tomorrow but it's here today And everything I'm hear to say Is resonating with my generation sayin', "Life is more than just a game to play It's a game to win" as we begin To find ourselves we find the stars are closer than we think they are I ask for health and prospering for those around me Knowing that I feed off the energy of those around me so keep smiling [Verse Two] [Blueprint] I move the crowd with nothing more than a hand motion Stand motionless, hand open You glance around and see a man posin' Look at the clock and both hands frozen I am THAT moment The beat's so hot, can't even put my hands on it The rhymes so solid, you could probably stand on it Paint a picture so vivid, capture manslaughter like a camcorder I expose it all with mad focus We laid the groundwork, it's only right we stand on it First we take it there, then we expand on it Cats with wack voices, still got wack voices Rhymin' over wack beats, makin' bad choices The waves change but it's pretty much the same voyage A big blue whale swimmin' in the vast ocean They think they got me figured out by my last movement That's when I rise up out the water, splash on 'em And get bad for 'em, he in the air soarin' From up there, drop science and math on 'em Stopped battlin' Was too grown man for it Won't even chance on it and f**k up a grand on it It's a scam, I feel bad, I even fell for it Win a battle, lose a war, in the air for it That's a high price to pay, man I can't afford it Bitch I'm grown, student loans and a mortgage Just tryin' to buy some land, put the fam on it Grow some carrots, some corn and some yams on it Hit the bar, buy some beers I can crack open I work hard, I be damned if I can't enjoy it Cause you can be anywhere instead of here Computer programming, benefits, a steady gig But God want him here, so that's where he is Ain't nothin' touchin' us, I love it more every year People try to tell him what they think success is As defined by what he drive and where he live I couldn't see it then but I see it now I'm a success because even when I fail I can still smile
