K'naan More Beautiful Than Silence
[Chorus:]
Turn the light off
It's a light on in your heart
So let it be your guidance, guidance
Open your mouth if you would say
Could be more beautiful than silence, silence
[Verse 1]
Ok, ain't it funny how the talk is always talking
Never firing, but always shining cocking
When they're cocky until they end in parking lots
Suddenly they got parkinson, they can hardly talk
No karate buddy, no Pilates buddy
It's a new game, no atomic buddy!
Body talk, well I'm used to buddies talk
I've seen shit to give new meaning to the buddy shop
Look, I know you think I'm so right,
But mother f..cker, I'm also ??
They try to tell these n..ers I'm a baby in these dippers
I'm on my own shit, like this
I don't disseminate, I got my name in services
I don't discriminate, I got friends who are snipers
But some of them ended up being lifeless
Cause they kept silent, survivors
[Chorus:]
Turn the light off
It's a light on in your heart
So let it be your guidance, guidance
Open your mouth if you would say
Could be more beautiful than silence, silence
[Verse 2]
I'm the quiet type, breathe and steady
Never small talk speak when necessary
In the streets, I see n..ers shop with..
My Jamaican girl say 'talk to me baby!'
What's on your mind, can say ??
Death do its part, memories, I marry
Got a library with no lies baby
And all the books look like they're made of strawberries.
It ain't easy being me
Cause my own fans can't relate to my streets
And my streets can't relate to those in the east
But I'm beats, so I make bread on release
I'm releasing my dinners, get the beat a life life I gave a fetus ??
Free to kick in the in your belly, that's free to breathing
Don't say nothing, cause now we're dreaming
[Chorus:]
Turn the light off
It's a light on in your heart
So let it be your guidance, guidance
Open your mouth if you would say
Could be more beautiful than silence, silence
Oh, oh, oh, silence, silence
Oh, oh, oh, silence, silence
Oh, oh, oh, silence, silence
Oh, oh, oh, silence, silence
