Lyrics

[Cold open: one distorted guitar stab, three violent drum hits—no soft buildup]

Yeah—

I learned real young that the truth costs extra,

People love honesty till it applies pressure.

Everybody wants real till the room gets tense,

Then they start building walls out of self-defense.

So I will keep quiet.

I won’t tell ’em what I see when they smile and hide it.

I won’t mention how the loudest one’s scared inside it.

I won’t say that your whole damn image is rented—

I’ll keep quiet.

[Beat drops immediately: crushing 808, sharp snare, metallic shaker ticking between bars]

I won’t say that your confidence came with a crowd,

That you only get brave when the music gets loud.

I won’t say you throw stones from a borrowed position,

Then act like a victim when somebody listens.

I won’t mention all the promises dying in drafts,

Or how people use jokes just to cover the facts.

I won’t say half these kings need a room full of praise,

Or they crumble alone when nobody’s amazed.

I’ll keep my mouth shut, let the circus continue,

Let ’em clap for the costume instead of what’s in you.

Let ’em call it success ’cause the pictures look clean,

Even though every smile got a crack in the screen.

[Hook: wider vocals, heavier bass, gang echoes only on “I will keep quiet”]

I will keep quiet—

I got enough truth to start a whole riot.

Enough names in my head, but I won’t recite it.

You should thank God tonight that I’m choosing silence.

I will keep quiet—

Don’t confuse that with fear, don’t ever miswrite it.

I could tear down the room without getting excited,

But the strongest thing I ever did was stay quiet.

[Verse 2: faster pocket, drums switch every 8 bars, guitar only as short warning stabs]

I won’t say who disappeared when the money got thin,

Then came back with advice when I started to win.

I won’t speak on the hands that were out for a favor,

Then vanished the second I needed a neighbor.

I won’t say some apologies sound like a threat,

“Sorry you felt that”—yeah, I remember that shit.

I won’t mention how loyalty changes its meaning

Depending on who has the most they can give in the season.

Everybody’s authentic till being real gets expensive,

Everybody’s forgiving till forgiveness gets tested.

Everybody says family, brother, forever—

Till the weather gets bad, then they change with the weather.

I watched people throw matches, then question the smoke,

Tell the world they were drowning while holding my throat.

Then ask why I’m different, why I don’t come around—

I’m not bitter, I just finally started writing shit down.

[Hook: harder delivery, stacked vocals]

I will keep quiet—

I got enough truth to start a whole riot.

Enough names in my head, but I won’t recite it.

You should thank God tonight that I’m choosing silence.

I will keep quiet—

Don’t confuse that with fear, don’t ever miswrite it.

I could tear down the room without getting excited,

But the strongest thing I ever did was stay quiet.
