The Silence of My Friends Lyrics by Toronzo Cannon

The Preacher, The Politician or The Pimp

2019

[Verse 1]
Backbiters and haters talk behind my back
And you sit there while they attack
Maybe you agree or don't know what to do
But when your back is turned they say the same about you
[Chorus]
I like it when people can get along
Like understanding words to a song
When you know the truth, you can’t pretend
I don’t like the silence of my friends
[Verse 2]
You talk about women like pieces of meat
You think I should laugh but I can’t agree
Wait a minute brother, don’t go no further
What if I said that about your mother?
[Chorus]
I like it when people can get along
Like understanding words to my song
When you know the truth, you can’t pretend
I don’t like the silence of my friends
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Don’t sit and act like you don’t know
Your silence helps evil grow
You kill evil at the root
‘Cause people will do what you let ‘em do
Yeah, yeah, nah
Listen
[Verse 3]
They say all lives matter between me and you
But when you look closely, it don’t seem true
So we protest to say what’s on our minds
While you sit there quiet on the sideline
[Chorus]
I like it when people can get along, y'all
Like understanding words to my song
When you know the truth, you can’t pretend
I don't like the silence of my friends
[Outro]
I don’t like the silence of my friends
I don’t like the silence of my friends
I don’t like the silence of my friends
If you say you’re my friend, you better speak up for me right now, come on, now
