More Beautiful Than Silence Songtext
von K’naan

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

Ok, ain't it funny how the talk is always talking
Never firing, but always say they 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 attare 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 righteous
But mother fucker, I'm also rifles
They try to tell these niggers I′m a baby in these dippers


I'm on my own shit, lighters
I don′t assimilate, I got my name in ciphers
I don't discriminate, I got friends who are snipers
But some of them ended up being lifeless
Cause they kept silent, survivors

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

I'm the quiet type, breathe and steady
Never small talk speak when necessary
In the streets, I see niggers shop with machetes
My Jamaican girl say 'talk to me baby!′


What′s on your mind, can say cemetery
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 dough in the yeast
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 a semen
Free to kick in the in your belly, that's free to breathing
Don't say nothing, cause now we′re dreaming

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
