Erik Flowchild - The Silence lyrics

[Intro] I just…can you…please…I…fu*k! [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, n***as 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 sh**ty, it s**s, nobody gives a f** 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, n***as 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 n***as 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 f**ing 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
