letra de stay quiet - mc mantra
[intro x2]
stay quiet, quiet, stay, stay, stay quiet, quiet, stay, stay, stay quiet, quiet, stay, stay, stay quiet
stay quiet
[hook]
nobody cares what you have to say
it’ll only fall on deaf ears anyway
type of shit around here happens every day
so put on a brave face, stay in your place and stay quiet
nobody cares what you have to say
nobody here’s gonna hear what you advocate
keep opinions to yourself and stay out the way
it’s game time and there’s money to make
so stay quiet
[verse 1]
you have the right to remain silent
blind to the footage of state violence and race riots
ignorant of an international aid crisis
the ever-present epidemic of the aids virus
as congolese militia rape and mutilate minors
united nation troops displaying the same vices
the infant mortality rate rises
alongside disease, famine and the real estate prices
see, we all in a war, but they were claimed by it
you got paid by it
taking lives just to increase the trade of a blood stained diamond
and we act dismayed by it, but all the same buy it
this inhumane science
be the reason decent people we can never dream of meeting lie awake crying
hide away in isolation
since living in darkness better than dying in the daylight is
lightning lights up ominous grey skies and ignites the horizon
tyrants deciding the future of a land, where the stray bullets flying
and sirens ain’t warning the mortars they’re firing
peace talks will never pause, they’re conspiring
the war never cease, we keep it transpiring
nerves of steel, lips permanently sealed
we conceal how we really feel
feeling consoled by the quiet
[hook]
nobody cares what you have to say
it’ll only fall on deaf ears anyway
type of shit around here happens every day
so put on a brave face, stay in your place and stay quiet
nobody cares what you have to say
nobody here’s gonna hear what you advocate
keep opinions to yourself and stay out the way
it’s game time and there’s money to make
so stay quiet
[verse 2]
uh, stay quiet
you have the right to remain silent
uninformed, miseducated and compliant
confounded, confused, intimidated and scared by it
keep your attention span brief and your mind divided
resources been torn from a war zone
exported, then implanted in the back of your cell phone
so what you know about an economic episode?
three nations feuding in a region set to explode
but you ain’t gotta travel the zaire
to know what became of the congo, it’s right here
couple centuries ago you’re all pioneers
landed up in sydney with the very same idea
you got something they want, they finna take it
ain’t a problem if you got here first or born native
ain’t a problem if the land you live on considered sacred
ain’t a problem, unless we say it
so take it and stay quiet
[hook]
nobody cares what you have to say
it’ll only fall on deaf ears anyway
type of shit around here happens every day
so put on a brave face, stay in your place and stay quiet
nobody cares what you have to say
nobody here’s gonna hear what you advocate
keep opinions to yourself and stay out the way
it’s game time and there’s money to make
so stay quiet
[outro x2]
stay quiet, quiet, stay, stay, stay quiet, quiet, stay, stay, stay quiet, quiet, stay, stay, stay quiet
