Stay Silent 04:09
Pre-chorus Straight out the underground, with amusement You couldn’t say no, you wouldn’t refuse it I’ve be quiet but let me say, they thought I couldn’t So I didn’t anyway. Me, the one who brings entertainment, And so far I’ve got no complaining I’ve got no complaints, trust pilot Another one bites the dust and stays silent Chorus 1 They stay silent (When they see it’s me) They stay silent (Living fantasy) They stay silent (Wouldn’t you agree?) They stay silent (I was meant to be) They stay silent (It’s my Odyssey) They stay silent (No one else but me) They stay silent (Wider than the sea) They stay silent (I was meant to be) Rap 1 It’s logical, biological metamorphoses Got me caught in the middle like triple forces Gains equal losses, the riddle she pauses No liquid love in my life cause I’m solid, Comical like Popeye’s Olive? No, I’m Morris The rightfully active, a rapper fantastic, Enough to distract me from falling, I mean I’m innocent, darling, but cinematically Panning between a fool and disarming, Another feminist fanatic keeping men in her attic Said The Sun and everyone who believes Ma, the fault belongs to anyone else but me I need to be, muted like a scream in a kid’s dream It’s crude and reality’s been rude to me, I was nineteen when I left And twenty-three when I ascended to become the best intended Pun, reminding you that silence is for every single fucking one of us And almost always never overdone, you - give it a shot Before you start, you forgot Chorus 1 They stay silent (When they see it’s me) They stay silent (Living fantasy) They stay silent (Wouldn’t you agree?) They stay silent (I was meant to be) They stay silent (It’s my Odyssey) They stay silent (No one else but me) They stay silent (Wider than the sea) They stay silent (I was meant to be) Rap 2 Inevitable colloquialisms, life is a prism We in live technicolour dream in multi-vision As seen on a meteor collision, you stay silent, I listen To economical echos, ecological efforts They curse us, we bless us Today’s our manifesto, I’m manifesting My many festering thoughts and Manifestations - oughta be brought to me As I’m crossing these seas, it ain’t easy Falling out of line I lose control of all Perception is perspective from above The world, the words that fall the lips are pursed And hips affixed to politics of death and birth And hexes curse our sisters, which is mother, Goddess under cover… Goddess under cover… Goddess under cover… Chorus 2 Then they see it’s me (Then they see it’s me) Living fantasy (Living fantasy) Wouldn’t you agree? (Wouldn’t you agree?) I was made to be, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! It’s my Odyssey (It’s my Odyssey) No one else by me (No one else by me) I’m wider than the sea (I’m wider than the sea) Guess I was meant to be (I was meant to be) And then they see it’s me, yeah (Then they see it’s me) A living fantasy, yeah (A living fantasy!) Wouldn’t you agree? (Wouldn’t you agree?!) STAY SILENT! Outro Stay silent… Stay silent, silent, silent, silent...uh...
