Silent Murder Lyrics

[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
