lyrics

I been quiet, I ain't made noise
Moment of respect for the girls and boys
Men and women, potential victims
Let me make it clear: I stand with em
So go ahead and cut me off, ain't my loss
It goes for anyone: family, landlord, boss
Made my choice whatever the cost
And I'll die on this hill before I ever fall off
This is not values or standards
This is human life and you manage
To make it political man it's pitiful
I bet it'd be different if they was killing you
A whole lot of humming and hawing
Y'all really on the fence about a whole lot of problems
Making up excuses for the masses in bulk
We can't fix em today? Yo, we not building Rome
Guess you wrapped up in the process
By the way it's going, its nonsense
Let's be honest, your interest is fake
Only in it when it's costing you a personal stake
God bless the American people
Nowhere to be found when they need you
A slice of American pie, I can see by the size
That I know they ain't equal

It's a moment of silence

So I been quiet, I ain't made noise
So now y'all really think that I ain't that boy?
I'm here to set the record straight
Play my tape, here my take, I always been here I say
I made room, I ain't save face
And if you ask me what I thought than you know I ain't
But my voice ain't the one that they need today
And I gladly step aside when it ain't my stage
I ain't know my way like I do now
Always been a guest in this house
Check the room before I grab a plate
Making sure that everybody ate
Nowadays, that everybody's safe
Grab my bloc and hit the streets again
I ain't ever even give my name
'Cause Lord knows that it's not about the praise
This is not a phase, this is not wallet on a chain
This is not Prada Gucci rings, this is ACAB everyday
So say they names: Manny Ellis down the way
Oscar Grant from where I used to stay
List is longer and longer by the day

It's been a moment of silence
It's been a moment of silence
Please, just a moment of silence
