Chorus: (X4)

*whisper*

Silent silent

Murder



[Nas]

It'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 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 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 I'ma play,

the crib close smokin' 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 I'ma reach the mass

Strap up, no back up, it's jungle tactics

Livin' 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 gettin' open cruise, won'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

It's nighttime scanners circle that allow gamblers

Peace-making niggas pep talk

the peace-makin 'niggas walk off the hot avenues with they brew.

Time to get this loot countless, 'cuz sun it ain'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

What'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

We're plottin' all murderous schemes,

it seems I'm ghostly called by the essence of queens

the palm lady dreamt of this day, so I'ma play

the crib close smokin' with the big toast and lay



Chorus (X6)



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
