Silent Treatment - The Roots 歌词

Introchorus:repeat 2x

Girl you know that you need

To stop givin' me the silent

Treatment baby

Can't you see what you mean to me

I wanna love you constantly

But you keep neglecting me

And treating me silently

Verse one:blackthought

Yo

I had a queen named amina

Height 5'7

Caramel complected

Body like heaven

Met her through the sister of my man big vince

Like some s**t from out the flicks we been in love ever since

She called me her chocolate brotha

I call her my sugar sista

Knew shorty could work it since before I ever kissed her

I never dissed her

Painted my picture to hit

But because s*x she wasn't with

She started flippin an' s**t

Like

Listen man

I'm queen amina

Amina's not no freak and

That game is weak and keep tryin to hit I could quit speakin

Tariq in fact

You bein blackthought don't get ya closer

I dig ya but won't bone ya because I'm so called supposed ta

Most o' them would

But that couldn't be me

That's not my flava

Go home and think about that

Maybe later on I'll page ya

I contemplated

And then concluded she was bluffin

Steady pursuin screwin

Gettin nothin but the silent treatment

+ silently bay bee at end

Verse two:blackthought

Crazy frustration

About my lovin situation

When patience was a virtue

But I wasn't used to waitin

I want some marvin gaye healin

Feelin is real inside

I slip and slide

My ride'll keep you occupied

I'd

Love to get wit it like that

But my baby's kitty cat's capped

And locked

Love boat is docked at the shore

And what for

Later for groupies on tour

Why won't my sugar call me no more

I mean

My queen gets upset

Rejectin and sexually neglect

Then sayin I'm more sewer than das efx

And closed minded

It's like I'm blinded by the skinnin

I'm into women

Because of that

This one's into communication

Temptation played the vandal

Freakin my brain

My mind

Rippin the handle on physically scandalous acts

Yo

She knew what I wanted

But she fronted

Bust it

Verse three:blackthought

Well umm

Movin right along with the song

Plus the strong

Feelings on my mind

Desire to intertwine

Combine and blend

Baby bust a message that I send

Ain't no need to pretend

Cause s**t is real 'til the end

I provide a place to hide from crime

Hard times

And livin trife

While I open ya mind

You're in my life

Like love

It ain't no way no one can rise above what's real

That's why I'm feelin like you're makin me bugged

I puff an el on fifty deuce while I walk in the rain

Heart feelin killa pain while I hop the train

Dial her number to the rest

And ain't no messages left

Regardless

My chest thumps from stress

Yo it's a mess

I don't know what I got to do to make you understand

I'm for real and that's no question

No frontin or no guessin

Undressin

Carressin

In the span

That I contain in my hand

Could touch and make you say that I'm such a man

And call my name

So let me set your body aflame

I'll never treat you like a dame or run game

Now who's to blame

I know you're not a h*e for n***az with a lot of dough

But I just wanted you to know

+ silently at end

+ silently

Si lent ly at end

*whistling of music fades away*
