[Verse 1]
Everybody gotta learn
Make mistakes to learn
Something like Richard Pryor, you play with fire, get burned
n*gga I’m back on my sh*t
You know it’s the sh*t when I doubted myself never quit
Nah, survival of the fittest, I don’t get tired
You’s a bug, I’m a motherf*cking reptile
Mom left the Congo back in the nineties
Raised a kid who finally could wear Nikes
I told her I’d make it and get big and pay her back for all that she did
And I’m no longer starving, so imma share this pie
Come get a piece like a motherf*cking birthday
Let’s get right n*gga
[Hook]
Here’s what I learn sometimes
Silence speaks
I ain’t gotta tell no lies
Silence speaks
Do you ever hear that sound?
Silence speaks
Let me tell you what you should try
Silence speaks
[Verse 2]
Every single year, momma had to make a trip to the motherland
Used to be at home all alone and become a man
But never would I get involved with the dummies
Even way back then man my mind was on the money
Thinkin’ euro bills, gates and bridges
Stack em all up to the motherf*cking ceiling, gadamn
You don’t know what I’ve been through, you don’t know what I been through
A lot of people just waiting for me to blow
And you can bet that I don’t wanna disappoint em no
And yo sometimes I’m feeling high, then I’m feeling low
Nor will I die, will I survive, let a n*gga know
Gotta do things my way now
2k that’s my playground
Once I step up out this booth
Nothing left to say now
Let me tell you why
[Hook]
Here’s what I learn sometimes
Silence speaks
I ain’t gotta tell no lies
Silence speaks
Do you ever hear that sound
Silence speaks
Let me tell you what you should try
Silence speaks
[Bridge]
When the winds will blow my ashes
Nothing left to justify
If you close your eyes and imagine
I know, you’ll find your silent answer
[Hook x2]
Here’s what I learn sometimes
Silence speaks
I ain’t gotta tell no lies
Silence speaks
Do you ever hear that sound?
Silence speaks
Let me tell you what you should try
Silence speaks
