THE WORLD I$ QUIET AND I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING (feat. Wolfy)

Verse 1

The world is quiet and she can hear everything

God gave her vocal cords, but she never tried to sing

Killed her dreams after weathering storms inside her heart

A work of art, but years of woe slowly tore her apart

Learned to hate early on 'cause her hurt turned to rage

And she didn't think she was smart enough to earn a wage

Turn the page... joined the army for a GI bill

Her mama said she won't make it, she said, 'Believe I will'

Gettin' stronger every day during drills and learning skills

For the first time in her life, she could pay her own bills

And proud of herself, started seeing things clearer

Could barely recognize the strong woman in the mirror

The fear of failure was outweighed by her will

Surrounded by people, yet so lonely... until

Somebody took advantage of that, she couldn't ignore it

And when she chose to speak up and be strong, they killed her for it

Verse 2

The world is quiet, but he can't hear anything

Regrets loud his mind 'cause time is everything

Seventeen and had the future in his eyes wide

His mother's pride stronger than all of the other guys

Got offers for football and b-ball 'cause he balled

Spent all of his time on the court, he slowly evolved

Stayed away from trouble, older brother got murdered

Street life is cold and his mother didn't deserve it

Saw her pain and felt his own hurt and made a choice

And every day when training, he could hear his brother's voice

'I'm proud of you, bro, keep takin' care of momma'

Hit a growth spurt and grew taller and stronger

The night of the championship game that they won

He decided to go out with his team and have some fun

Got in a car with his dawg that he didn't know was stolen

Pulled over by a rookie school cop that was patrollin'

His friend pulled over but got nervous and tried to dip

The cop jumped in front of the whip

His friend died gaspin' for air, whispered, 'Oh God'

And then the police gave him his friend's murder charge
