K'Naan - More Beautiful Than Silence Lyrics
[Hook]Turn the light offThere's a light on in your heartSo let it be your guidance, guidanceOpen your mouth if what you'd sayCould be more beautiful than silence, silenceOK, ain't it funny how the talkers always talking?Never firing, but always say they *****ingAnd they're *****y until they in the parking lotsSuddenly they got Parkinson, they can hardly talk.No karate buddy, no Pilates buddyIt's a new game, no Atari buddy!Body chalk, well I'm used to bodies choppedI've seen shit to give new meaning to the body shopLook, I know you think I'm so righteous,But mother *****er, I'm also into riflesThey try to tell these niggers I'm a baby in these diapersI'm on my own shit, like thisI don't disseminate, I got my name in servicesI don't discriminate, I got friends who are snipersBut some of them ended up being lifelessCause they kept silent, survivors.[Hook]Turn the light offThere's a light on in your heartSo let it be your guidance, guidanceOpen your mouth if what you'd sayCould be more beautiful than silence, silenceI'm the quiet type, breathe and steadyNever small talk speak when necessaryIn the streets, I see niggers chopped with machetesMy Jamaican girl say "talk to me baby!"What's on your mind? can't say cemeteryDeath do us part, memories, I marryGot a library with no lies buriedAnd all the books look like they're made of strawberries.It ain't easy being meCause my own fans can't relate to my streetsAnd my streets can't relate to dough in the yeastBut I'm beast, so I make bread on release.I'm releasing my demonsGive the beat it's life like I gave a fetus semenFeel the kick in your belly, that's freedom breathingAnd don't say nothing, cause now we're dreaming![Hook]Turn the light offThere's a light on in your heartSo let it be your guidance, guidanceOpen your mouth if what you'd sayCould be more beautiful than silence, silenceOh, oh, oh, oh, silence, silenceOh, oh, oh, oh, silence, silenceOh, oh, oh, oh, silence, silenceOh, oh, oh, oh, silence, silence
