Well the talk about silence today made me think about a newer song by Lupe Fiasco featuring Skylar Grey. Its called Words I Never said and its pretty sweet. You should check it out. The chorus goes as follows:
It's so loud, inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back, the words I never said!
I can't take back, the words I never said!
Thats Skylar Grey singing, the same chic that sings "I Need A Doctor" so it sounds sweet. Then one of Lupe's verses goes as follows:
I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence
Fear is such a weak emotion thats why I despise it
We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth
So scared of what you think of me, I'm scared of even telling you
Sometimes I'm like the only person I feel safe to tell it to
I'm locked inside a cell in me, I know that theres a jail in you
Consider this your bailing out, so take a breath, inhale a few
My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts is finally yelling through!
Yeaah its a dope song and it has alot to do with the silence in this nation. I just thought I should share it because thats what I was thinking about during our discussion today. And I forgot to blog yesterday so I hope this makes up for it...:). Peace!
Brian!! Why didn't you share this in class?! This is very intreaging (intreeging?) and I would have loved to talk about it in class.
