Nas - Silent Murder lyrics

Whispered silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder

It's sort of like the
Conclusion to Color Purple
Niggas is losing, confusion
With one-time on pursuit moves in
Grabbing niggas 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 niggas 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
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

Whispered silent, silent murder

They say the arms of Nicky 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
I'mma reach the mass
Strap up, no back-up, it's jungle tactics
Living practice
Out-of-line niggas get smacked backwards
So wear it if the cap fit's
Folded up money and mad clips are
Stacked right under my mattress
To smoke a nigga like a
Hughes Brothers motion picture
Niggas getting open
Crews roping older niggas
April fools, they laugh
The jokes on the benches
Seeds outside, my nigga spoke on his sentence

Whispered silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder silent
Silent, silent murder

My right handers never play
Too close to cameras
It's night time, scandalous
Circle the loud gamblers
Peace making niggas pep talk
The Beast making niggas walk off the
Hot avenues with they brew
Time to get this loot countless, 'cause, son
It ain't no youth fountains
Niggas take cash and shoot, bounce and
Pakistanians are took hostage
Locked up inside a linen closet
Known for spending pies up
What's the flavor when your
Neighbors do Jake favors?
Locking real niggas down
And letting fake players
Roam around the projects, it's lyrical logic
I dilute
Then we 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

Whispered silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder silent, silent murder
Silent, silent murder

And Cain killed his brother Abel
When God accepted Abel's offering and not his
Abel's offering showed that Cain was not
Giving his best to God
And Cain's jealous anger drove him to murder
Drove him to murder
