Lyrics Smooth Sailing - Muxaveli

Smooth sailing over these beats as you listen
I've been giving a lot of hidden messages
Don't you miss them
As I free my soul from my own self-created prison
Smooth sailing over these beats as you listen
I'm on a mission to live my life and face the consequences of my decisions
Smooth sailing, yeah

Enemies are forgiven but I ain't fighting someone who is battling
With their own set created inner demon
Like a fiend
They want to cut you
From out of nowhere
Like a viper
As they lay in the grass, hissing yeah
Waiting to spit their venom
Living their own life is their biggest challenge
When you are God gifted and you have got real talent

Then you don't portray a fake image out there
And act like a fucking contestant
In a beauty pageant, huh
If you want to see change in the world
You gotta be it
Before you point out flaws in others

Just know this, that whatever is wrong with others
Do recognize it within yourselves, you gotta see it
You want to plant some trees but don't feed the seed
As on its own, it has grown
And known to be free

It's like as if the time's on freeze, you gotta pray on your knees
But for a better world, you gotta stand up on your feet
And work for it as long as you breathe, huh
And work for it as long as you breathe, huh

I'm on a mission but I ain't trying to be relevant
I got a condition
I need to learn about time management
As I face the challenge
I embrace it
Defeat or a loss is a way to learn about winning
I openly praise it, I openly praise it

Smooth sailing over these beats
As you listen, I've been giving a lot of hidden messages
Don't you miss it

I don't care whether you are making music in a studio
Or record radio album in your mom's basement
Wait a minute, if you are for the culture
Then I should not be waiting for placement

If someone's music is making an open blatant statement
Then you can listen and smell it, it's got their soul's fragrance
Then why do you wanna be a backstabber, racist
Who wants to deny comeuppance of the real

But preach about being real
While complaining about there are too many fakes in the business
Your whole argument is baseless
Within a few bars I have exposed you

Now that's how you say less
This whole music business is about putting yourselves in a position
To be paid by others
And how much you get paid depends on your recognition

If these are your faces, I choose to be faceless
Cause these faces are causing division
Open your ears, open your ears and listen
Open your ears, open your ears and listen

Smooth sailing over these beats
As you listen
Smooth sailing over these beats
As you listen

Smooth sailing over these beats
As you listen
I've been giving a lot of hidden messages
Don't you miss them

As I free my soul from my own self-created prison
Smooth sailing over these beats
As you listen
Smooth sailing over these beats

As you listen
Smooth sailing
Smooth sailing, yeah

From ashes to ashes and dust to dust
They want you to give up, it looks like a bust
In fake they trust, money they lust
If they help you, they charge you with interest
I sit here and discuss, it's a business I must

You gotta learn to adjust or your music will rust
They spread disinfection in the guise of connection
It's an open misdirection
They say everything for satisfaction

While being imperfect and sell it Perfection
In a world so misdirected
They portray they have lived it
Fakeness enlisted

Reality got twisted
I feel like a fucking misfit
But to my career, I am forever committed
I choose to be myself and speak my truth

If by this you are offended
I don't give a shit, fuck it, I meant it

Smooth sailing over these beats
As you listen
I've been given a lot of hidden messages
Don't you miss them
As I free my soul from my own self-created prison
Smooth sailing over these beats
As you listen
I'm on a mission to live my life
And face the consequences of my decisions
Smooth sailing, yeah

The moves they pull
We all need to wake up
The lives they ruin
Their world needs to shake up

These filters, these photoshops
And all of this makeup
This whole reality is like what happened to Truman
It's all fucking made up

Real people but faking their feelings
Is this the way of the world
I don't give a fuck about what your deal is
I respect each and every human being

But if I see something arrogant or wrong
Imma cut you off my mouth, I ain't concealing
You might have lived a certain life on this planet
Where you were living

But life on other parts of it
Has been equally unforgiving
So don't squeal
While trying to turn in your favor

It's wheel
You are made of mud and clay
Like the rest of us
Quit acting like the man of steel

You are your own kryptonite
From there was people back out
But you do a cartwheel
That's why I don't need your steel to dub me real

Ha ha ha, yeah
I don't need your steel to dub me real
That's how I feel
That's how I feel

That's how I feel
Smooth sailing over these beats as you listen
Smooth sailing over these beats as you listen
I've been giving a lot of hidden messages

Don't you miss em
As I free my soul from my own self-created prison
Smooth sailing over these beats as you listen
Smooth sailing

Smooth sailing
Smooth sailing, yeah
Smooth sailing
Smooth sailing
