Silence Speaks

Everybody gotta learn
Make mistakes to learn
Something like Richard Pryor, you play with fire, get burned
Nigga I’m back on my shit
You know it’s the shit when I doubted myself never quit
Nah, survival of the fittest, I don’t get tired
You’s a bug, I’m a motherfucking reptile
Mom left the Congo back in the nineties
Raised a kid who finally could wear Nikes
I told her I’d make it and get big and pay her back for all that she did
And I’m no longer starving, so imma share this pie
Come get a piece like a motherfucking birthday
Let’s get right nigga
Here’s what I learn sometimes
Silence speaks
I ain’t gotta tell no lies
Silence speaks
Do you ever hear that sound?
Silence speaks
Let me tell you what you should try
Silence speaks
Every single year, momma had to make a trip to the motherland
Used to be at home all alone and become a man
But never would I get involved with the dummies
Even way back then man my mind was on the money
Thinkin' euro bills, gates and bridges
Stack em all up to the motherfucking ceiling, gadamn
You don’t know what I’ve been through, you don’t know what I been through
A lot of people just waiting for me to blow
And you can bet that I don’t wanna disappoint em no
And yo sometimes I’m feeling high, then I’m feeling low
Nor will I die, will I survive, let a nigga know
Gotta do things my way now
2k that’s my playground
Once I step up out this booth
Nothing left to say now
Let me tell you why
Here’s what I learn sometimes
Silence speaks
I ain’t gotta tell no lies
Silence speaks
Do you ever hear that sound
Silence speaks
Let me tell you what you should try
Silence speaks
When the winds will blow my ashes
Nothing left to justify
If you close your eyes and imagine
I know, you’ll find your silent answer
Here’s what I learn sometimes
Silence speaks
I ain’t gotta tell no lies
Silence speaks
Do you ever hear that sound?
Silence speaks
Let me tell you what you should try
Silence speaks
