Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder
[Verse 2]
It's sort of like the conclusion to Color Purple
N****s is losing, confusion, with one-time on pursuit moves in
Grabbing n****s up in this movement to rule shit
Cop versus the block, shorties is schooled quick
Lesson number one: If you're arrested and hung
Where n****s is from, gotta keep a lid on your tongue
It's like silent murder, I hit blunts hard like Ray Mercer
The violent words of a Prince in a Palace of Persia
[Verse 3]
The cognac plurger plus the trees
But who's the foul one to make his nose take a freeze?
And got enough gall to rock ice in all hype
Used to be a general but just lost his stripe
Pipe dreams and white fiends and all-nighters
Collect calls from lifers, Astoria wars 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 I'mma play the crib close, smokin' with the big toast and lay
[Verse 4]
Silent, silent murder
[Verse 5]
They say the arms of Nicky Barnes would be enough to blast
A lot of rich n****s fell and started pumping gas
Was it the mind of CIA that bumped off Malik Shabazz?
Fuck what they teach in class, I'mma reach the mass
Strap up, no back up, it's jungle tactics
Living practice, out of line n****s get smacked backwards
So wear it if the cap fits, folded up money and mad clips
Are stacked right under my mattress
[Verse 6]
To smoke a n**** like a Hughes Brothers motion picture
N****s getting open, crews roping older n****s
April fools, they laugh, the jokes on the benches
Seeds outside, my n**** spoke on his sentence
[Verse 7]
Silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder
Silent, silent
Silent, silent murder
[Verse 8]
My right-handers never play too close to cameras
It's night time, scandalous, circle the loud gamblers
Peace-making n****s pep talk
The Beast making n****s walk off the hot avenues with they brew
Time to get this loot countless
'Cause, son, it ain't no youth fountains
N****s take cash and shoot, bounce and Pakistanians are took hostage
Locked up inside a linen closet, known for spending pies up
[Verse 9]
What's the flavor when your neighbors do jake favors?
Locking real n****s down and letting fake players
Roam around the projects, it's lyrical logic
I dilute, the weak can inject the right composite
When plotting on murderous schemes
It seems I'm ghostly called by the essence of Queens
The palm lady dreamt of this day
So I'mma play the crib close, smokin' with the big toast and lay
[Verse 10]
Silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder
[Verse 11]
And Cain killed his brother Abel (Silent, silent)
When God accepted Abel's offering and not his (Murder)
Abel's offering showed that Cain was not giving his best to God (Silent, silent murder)
And Cain's jealous anger drove him to murder (Silent, silent murder)
Drove him to murder (Silent, silent murder)
