mc johan – gold not silent lyrics
the lyrics from my mouth are intellectual
thought up by a mind that’s intellectually lyrical
hip-hop today needs to be sociopolitical
because most politicians are anti-social
mps, can’t you see you’re meant to lead the people
mc’s on the mic, dj’s on the turntable
if to the elements their respectable but radical
multiple syllables, malleable metal samples
then each of them are suitable as role models
internal rhymes i follow the examples
b-mrushing is what we must prevent
in radical times; brand rapped power refinement
same nation, with a dj president
each gold chain chimes…he weren’t silent
[chorus]
i’m sick and tired of this mumblin
‘cause today’s rap game is so broken
with rhymes, with beats and with samplin’
i’ll make sure hip hop will awaken
samplin’ 100 miles and runnin’
‘cause silence is never golden
literally or digitally, few own a bookshelf
idiots vote bigots, history’s repeating itself
like time is going around in cycle
so we need another stokely carmichael
huey p. newton or malik el-shabazz
who saw equality within al-hejaz
coexistence, whatever the ethnicity
tolerance for difference skin and unity
so i’m telling you on this mic
that we need more people like
muhammad ali
times sum of one, jinnah
nehru and gandhi
yuri kochiyama
sun and miyazaki
che guevara
ho chi minh, connolly
paul robeson, n-sser
richard aoki
nelson mandela
dr. umar johnson, kwame nkrumah
all of the above but by no means limited to
are guiding lights who are great and bold
the fights must be continued, i’m telling you
our rights are more valuable than diamond and gold
what we got is evidenced, backed by the true
so we won’t be silenced by a tyrannical hold
[chorus]
i’m sick and tired of this mumblin
‘cause today’s rap game is so broken
with rhymes, with beats and with samplin’
i’ll make sure hip hop will awaken
samplin’ 100 miles and runnin’
‘cause silence is never golden
the biggest, the real, societal, not political oppression is based on skin color
and religion. the spectrum from patronization that is racism to k!lling one another
based on what our skin’s like or what we believe
time to ftp. we will achieve
strong harmony, if we put our minds to it
stamp out racially insensitive bullsh-t
nonetheless, systematic, political and legal oppression is still going on
where has martin luther king junior’s dream of a nation gone?
‘88, ftp that abuse their power
emphasis on the four words latter
arresting people for being a rapper
another sticky label for the producer
when they could be out catching…drug dealers
and arresting molesters, robbers or k!llers
you paying attention, homeboy? i’ve told
you. answer now, ‘cause silence ain’t gold
[chorus]
i’m sick and tired of this mumblin
‘cause today’s rap game is so broken
with rhymes, with beats and with samplin’
i’ll make sure hip hop will awaken
samplin’ 100 miles and runnin’
‘cause silence is never golden
