The Silence Lyrics by ​pHoenix Pagliacci

Books, Bucks & Beats Vol. 1: Holla At a Schola

0

[Intro]
I just…can you…please…I…FUCK!
[Verse 1: pHoenix]
Frustrated ain’t even the word that I wanna use
Patience and time wanna play and I don’t wanna lose
None of ‘em; some of ‘em, need to choose one of ‘em
Heartless and selfish, niggas got no love in ‘em
People always gonna find something to hate about you
Say behind your face and find a reason to doubt you
But don’t go givin’ them a reason, reason being
They’re all about the “I”: it isn’t you they’re seeing
I’m sick of being a girl, not ‘cause I ain’t pretty
But the fact that I am witty is overlooked by my titties
I’m sick of this over-rated, under-achieving city and the
Fact that everybody on the fake is taking pity
It’s shitty, it sucks, nobody gives a fuck
They’re all about the paper, can’t afford to make a buck
But change is what we need, yes I mean to impede
I’m planting the seed, I bleed truth, y’all bleed greed
[Hook]
I told ‘em not to leave me in the silence
The silence got me contemplatin’ nothing but the violence
The violence got me pullin’ at the corner of your eyelids, your eyelids
I told ‘em not to leave me in the silence...ugh
I told ‘em not to leave me in the silence
The silence got me contemplatin’ nothing but the violence
The violence got me pullin’ at the corner of your eyelids, your eyelids
I told ‘em not to leave me in the silence
[Verse 2: Erik Flowchild]
Engh, yo..
Hush little Flowchild, don’t say a word
We still need you to play the nerd..errr
Every time I made a verse, niggas wasn’t sure
Would’ve been okay with that, but I want what I deserve
So I’m back, on my B-I, more sting than a beehive
Morphing like them Rangers, with different coloured suits
Guess I’m Zack ‘cause I’m black, but since I got my mic off
Niggas call me white-washed, what is that?
You versing a university, aren’t you glad you went?
You rap, so you didn’t; I’m ‘bout to be a graduate
Here with my peers, really I don’t trust ‘em
Calling me a token, really I should buss ‘em, huh
I got a plan B, I don’t even need it
You understand me? They’re callin’ me conceited
Everywhere that he go, they say he got an ego
Funny how those people still peep though…
[Hook]
I told ‘em not to leave me in the silence
The silence got me contemplatin’ nothing but the violence
The violence got me pullin’ at the corner of your eyelids, your eyelids
I told ‘em not to leave me in the silence...ugh
I told ‘em not to leave me in the silence
The silence got me contemplatin’ nothing but the violence
The violence got me pullin’ at the corner of your eyelids, your eyelids
I told ‘em not to leave me in the silence
[Breakdown]
Don’t tell me to chill, I-I really hate that..
Staring is so rude..
If it’s not a freestyle, don’t call it a freestyle; if it’s not off the top, it’s not a freestyle
Oh my God why are you chewing with your mouth open? Cover your fucking mouth..
Don’t you hear your kid crying? What are you doing?
Lightskin verses darksin? Really? Are we still on this?
Are you smoking and drinking while you’re pregnant?
Not everybody can be a rapper…some-somebody has to be the garbage man
[Hook]
I told ‘em not to leave me in the silence
The silence got me contemplatin’ nothing but the violence
The violence got me pullin’ at the corner of your eyelids, your eyelids
I told ‘em not to leave me in the silence...ugh
I told ‘em not to leave me in the silence
The silence got me contemplatin’ nothing but the violence
The violence got me pullin’ at the corner of your eyelids, your eyelids
I told ‘em not to leave me in the silence
