Intro/Chorus: repeat 2X
2
Girl you know that you need
3
to stop givin' me the silent.. treatment baby
4
Can't you see what you mean to me?
5
I wanna love you constantly, but you keep neglecting me
6
And treating me silently
7
Verse One: BlackThought
8
Yo, I had a Queen named Amina, height 5'7"
9
Caramel-complected, body like heaven
10
Met her through the sister of my man Big Vince
11
Like some shit from out the flicks we been in love ever since
12
She called me her chocolate brotha, I call her my sugar sista
13
Knew Shorty could work it since before I ever kissed her
14
I never dissed her, painted my picture to hit
15
But because sex she wasn't with, she started flippin an' shit
16
Like, "Listen man, I'm Queen Amina, Amina's not no freak and
17
that game is weak and keep tryin to hit I could quit speakin
18
Tariq in fact, you bein BlackThought don't get ya closer
19
I dig ya but won't bone ya because I'm so-called supposed ta
20
Most o' them would, but that couldn't be me, that's not my flava
21
Go home and think about that, maybe later on I'll page ya..."
22
I contemplated, and then concluded she was bluffin
23
Steady pursuin screwin, gettin nothin but the silent treatment
24
Chorus (+ "Silently bay-bee" at end)
25
Verse Two: BlackThought
26
Crazy frustration, about my lovin situation
27
When patience was a virtue, but I wasn't used to waitin
28
I want some Marvin Gaye healin, feelin is real inside
29
I slip and slide, my ride'll keep you occupied, I'd..
30
love to get wit it like that, but my baby's kitty cat's capped
31
and locked, Love Boat is docked at the shore
32
And what for? Later for groupies on tour
33
Why won't my sugar call me no more?
34
I mean, my Queen gets upset, rejectin and sexually neglect
35
Then sayin I'm more sewer than Das EFX, and closed-minded
36
It's like I'm blinded by the skinnin
37
I'm into women; because of that, this one's into communication
38
Temptation played the vandal, freakin my brain, my mind
39
Rippin the handle on physically scandalous acts
40
Yo! She knew what I wanted, but she fronted
41
... bust it
42
Chorus
43
Verse Three: BlackThought
44
Well umm
45
Movin right along with the song, plus the strong
46
feelings on my mind, desire to intertwine
47
Combine and blend, baby bust a message that I send
48
Ain't no need to pretend, cause shit is real til the end
49
I provide a place to hide from crime, hard times
50
and livin trife, while I open ya mind, you're in my life
51
like love, it ain't no way no one can rise above what's real
52
That's why I'm feelin like you're makin me bugged
53
I puff an El on fifty deuce while I walk in the rain
54
Heart feelin killa pain while I hop the train
55
Dial her number to the rest, and ain't no messages left
56
Regardless, my chest thumps from stress, yo it's a mess
57
I don't know what I got to do to make you understand
58
I'm for real and that's no question, no frontin or no guessin
59
Undressin, carressin, in the span, that I contain in my hand
60
could touch and make you say that I'm such a man
61
and call my name, so let me set your body aflame
62
I'll never treat you like a dame or run game
63
Now who's to blame?
64
I know you're not a hoe for niggaz with a lot of dough
65
But I just wanted you to know
66
Chorus (+ "silently" at end)
67
Chorus 1/2 (+ "silently, si-lent-ly" at end)
68
*whistling of music fades away*
