More Beautiful Than Silence Lyrics - More Beautiful Than Silence - K'naan

[Chorus:] 

Turn the light off 

It's a light on in your heart 

So let it be your guidance, guidance 

Open your mouth if you would say 

Could be more beautiful than silence, silence 

[Verse 1] 

Ok, ain't it funny how the talk is always talking 

Never firing, but always shining cocking 

When they're cocky until they end in parking lots 

Suddenly they got parkinson, they can hardly talk 

No karate buddy, no Pilates buddy 

It's a new game, no attare buddy! 

Body talk, well I'm used to buddies talk 

I've seen shit to give new meaning to the buddy shop 

Look, I know you think I'm so righteous, 

But mother fucker, I'm also rifles 

They try to tell these niggers I'm a baby in these dippers 

I'm on my own shit, lighters 

I don't assimilate, I got my name in ciphers 

I don't discriminate, I got friends who are snipers 

But some of them ended up being lifeless 

Cause they kept silent, survivors

[Chorus:] 

Turn the light off 

It's a light on in your heart 

So let it be your guidance, guidance 

Open your mouth if you would say 

Could be more beautiful than silence, silence 

[Verse 2] 

I'm the quiet type, breathe and steady 

Never small talk speak when necessary 

In the streets, I see niggers shop with machetes. 

My Jamaican girl say 'talk to me baby!' 

What's on your mind, can say cemetery 

Death do its part, memories, I marry 

Got a library with no lies baby 

And all the books look like they're made of strawberries. 

It ain't easy being me 

Cause my own fans can't relate to my streets 

And my streets can't relate to dough in the yeast 

But I'm beats, so I make bread on release 

I'm releasing my dinners, get the beat a life life I gave a fetus a semen 

Free to kick in the in your belly, that's free to breathing 

Don't say nothing, cause now we're dreaming

[Chorus:] 

Turn the light off 

It's a light on in your heart 

So let it be your guidance, guidance 

Open your mouth if you would say 

Could be more beautiful than silence, silence 

Oh, oh, oh, silence, silence 

Oh, oh, oh, silence, silence 

Oh, oh, oh, silence, silence 

Oh, oh, oh, silence, silence
