Chorus: (x4)
*whisper*
silent, silent
murder
[nas]
itand's sort of like the conclusion, the color purple
niggas is losing, confusion, with one time all pursuit moves in
grabbing niggas up in this movement to rule shit
cop verses the block, shorties is too quick
lesson number one. if youand're arrested and hung
where niggas is from gotta keep a lid on your tongue
itand's like silent murder, i hit blunts hard like ray mercer
the violent words of a prince in a palace of persia.
the cognac plurger plus the trees,
but whose the faul one to make his nose take a freeze,
and got enough gold to rock ice in all hype.
used to be a general but just lost his stripe
pipe dreams and white feinds and all-nighters, collect calls from lifers
astoria walls with cypress, since i got a problem with the law-writers,
i kick some more items just to explore horizons,
the palm lady dreamt of this day so iand'ma play,
the crib close smokinand' with the big toast and lay
Chorus
They say the arms of nicki barnes would be enough to blast,
a lot of rich niggas fell and started pumping gas
was it the mind of cia that bumped off malik shabazz
fuck what they teach in class iand'ma reach the mass
strap up, no back up, itand's jungle tactics
livinand' practice, out of line niggas get smacked backwards
so wear it if the cap fits, fold it up money and mad clips
a stack right under my matress
to smoke a nigga like a hugh bros. motion picture
niggas gettinand' open cruise, wonand't be olding niggas
april fools they laugh the jokes on the benches
cease outside my nigga spoke on his sentence
Chorus (x4) +
silent
silent, silent
murder
My right handers never play too close to cameras
itand's nighttime scanners circle that allow gamblers
peace-making niggas pep talk
the peace-makin and'niggas walk off the hot avenues with they brew.
time to get this loot countless, and'cuz sun it ainand't no youth fountains
niggas take cash and shoot, bounce and pakistanians is took hostage
locked up inside a linen closet known for spending pies up
whatand's the flavour when your neighbors do jake favours?
lock them real niggas down and lettin fake players
roam around the project this lyrical logic i dilute,
the weak can object the right composite
weand're plottinand' all murderous schemes,
it seems iand'm ghostly called by the essence of queens
the palm lady dreamt of this day, so iand'ma play
the crib close smokinand' with the big toast and lay
Chorus (x6)
and cain killed his brother abel when god accepted abeland's
offering and not his.
abeland's offering showed that cain was not giving his best to god,
and cainand's jealous anger drove him to murder -
drove him to murder
