More Beautiful Than Silence |
| Turn the light off |
| There’s a light on in your heart |
| So let it be your guidance, guidance |
| Open your mouth if what you say |
| Could be more beautiful than silence, silence |
| OK, ain’t it funny how the talk is always talking? |
| Never firing, but always say they cockin' |
| When they’re cocky until they end in parking lots |
| Suddenly they got Parkinson, they can hardly talk. |
| No karate buddy, no Pilates buddy |
| It’s a new game, no atomic buddy! |
| Body talk, well I’m used to bodies chopped |
| I’ve seen sh*t to give new meaning to the body shop |
| Look, I know you think I’m so righteous |
| But motherf*cker, I’m also into rifles |
| Tryna tell these n*ggas I’m a baby in his diapers |
| I’m on my own sh*t, lighters |
| I don’t disseminate, I got my name in ciphers |
| I don’t discriminate, I got friends who are snipers |
| But some of them ended up being lifeless |
| 'Cause they kept silent, survivors. |
| Turn the light off |
| There’s a light on in your heart |
| So let it be your guidance, guidance |
| Open your mouth if what you say |
| Could be more beautiful than silence, silence |
| I’m the quiet type, breathe in steady |
| Never small talk speak when necessary |
| In the streets, I see niggers chop with machetes |
| My Jamaican girl say 'talk to me baby!' |
| What’s on your mind can’t say cemetery |
| Death do us part, memories, I married |
| Got a library with no lies baby |
| And all the books look like they’re made of strawberries. |
| It ain’t easy being me |
| 'Cause my own fans can’t relate to my streets |
| And my streets can’t relate to dough in the east |
| But I’m beast, so I make bread on release. |
| I’m releasing my demons, |
| Give the beat its life like I give a fetus semen. |
| Feel the kick in your belly, that’s freedom breathing |
| And don’t say nothing, 'cause now we are dreaming! |
| Turn the light off |
| There’s a light on in your heart |
| So let it be your guidance, guidance |
| Open your mouth if what you say |
| Could be more beautiful than silence, silence |
| Oh, oh, oh, silence, silence |
| Oh, oh, oh, silence, silence |
| Oh, oh, oh, silence, silence |
| Oh, oh, oh, silence, silence |
