Silent Treatment
(专辑: Do You Want More?!!!??! - 1995)
[Intro/Chorus: repeat 2X] Girl you know that you need to stop giving me the
silent.. treatment baby Can't you see what you mean to me? I
wanna love you constantly, but you keep neglecting me And treating me silently [Verse One: Black Thought] Yo, I
had a
Queen named Amina, height 5'7" Caramel-complected, body like heaven Met her through the
sister of my man Big Vince Like some shit from out the
flicks we been in love ever since She called me her chocolate brotha, I
call her my sugar sista Knew Shorty could work it since before I
ever kissed her I
never dissed her, painted my picture to hit But because sex she wasn't with, she started flippin an' shit Like, "Listen man, I'm Queen Amina, Amina's not no freak and that game is weak and keep tryin to hit I
could quit speakin Tariq in fact, you bein BlackThought don't get ya closer I
dig ya but won't bone ya because I'm so-called supposed ta Most o' them would, but that couldn't be me, that's not my flava Go home and think about that, maybe later on I'll page ya..." I
contemplated, and then concluded she was bluffin Steady pursuin screwin, gettin nothin but the
silent treatment [Chorus (+ "Silently bay-bee" at end)] [Verse Two: Black Thought] Crazy frustration, about my lovin situation When patience was a
virtue, but I
wasn't used to waitin I
want some Marvin Gaye healin, feelin is real inside I
slip and slide, my ride'll keep you occupied, I'd.. love to get wit it like that, but my baby's kitty cat's capped and locked, Love Boat is docked at the
shore And what for? Later for groupies on tour Why won't my sugar call me no more? I
mean, my Queen gets upset, rejectin and sexually neglect Then sayin I'm more sewer than Das EFX, and closed-minded It's like I'm blinded by the
skinnin I'm into women; because of that, this one's into communication Temptation played the
vandal, freakin my brain, my mind Rippin the
handle on physically scandalous acts Yo! She knew what I
wanted, but she fronted ... bust it [Chorus] [Verse Three: Black Thought] Well umm Movin right along with the
song, plus the
strong feelings on my mind, desire to intertwine Combine and blend, baby bust a
message that I
send Ain't no need to pretend, cause shit is real til the
end I
provide a
place to hide from crime, hard times and livin trife, while I
open ya mind, you're in my life like love, it ain't no way no one can rise above what's real That's why I'm feelin like you're makin me bugged I
puff an El on fifty deuce while I
walk in the
rain Heart feelin killa pain while I
hop the
train Dial her number to the
rest, and ain't no messages left Regardless, my chest thumps from stress, yo it's a
mess I
don't know what I
got to do to make you understand I'm for real and that's no question, no frontin or no guessin Undressin, carressin, in the
span, that I
contain in my hand could touch and make you say that I'm such a
man and call my name, so let me set your body aflame I'll never treat you like a
dame or run game Now who's to blame? I
know you're not a
hoe for niggaz with a
lot of dough But I
just wanted you to know [Chorus (+ "silently" at end)] [Chorus 1/2 (+ "silently, si-lent-ly" at end)] [whistling of music fades away]
