Текст (слова) песни: Everything But The Girl - Silent Treatment

Intro/Chorus: repeat 2X

Girl you know that you need
to stop givin me the silent.. treatment baby
Cant 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 57"
Caramel-complected, body like heaven
Met her through the sister of my man Big Vince
Like some shit 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 sex she wasnt with, she started flippin an shit
Like, "Listen man, Im Queen Amina, Aminas not no freak and
that game is weak and keep tryin to hit I could quit speakin
Tariq in fact, you bein BlackThought dont get ya closer
I dig ya but wont bone ya because Im so-called supposed ta
Most o them would, but that couldnt be me, thats not my flava
Go home and think about that, maybe later on Ill page ya..."
I contemplated, and then concluded she was bluffin
Steady pursuin screwin, gettin nothin but the silent treatment

Chorus (+ "Silently bay-bee" at end)

Verse Two: BlackThought

Crazy frustration, about my lovin situation
When patience was a virtue, but I wasnt used to waitin
I want some Marvin Gaye healin, feelin is real inside
I slip and slide, my ridell keep you occupied, Id..
love to get wit it like that, but my babys kitty cats capped
and locked, Love Boat is docked at the shore
And what for? Later for groupies on tour
Why wont my sugar call me no more?
I mean, my Queen gets upset, rejectin and sexually neglect
Then sayin Im more sewer than Das EFX, and closed-minded
Its like Im blinded by the skinnin
Im into women; because of that, this ones 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

Chorus

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
Aint no need to pretend, cause shit is real til the end
I provide a place to hide from crime, hard times
and livin trife, while I open ya mind, youre in my life
like love, it aint no way no one can rise above whats real
Thats why Im feelin like youre 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 aint no messages left
Regardless, my chest thumps from stress, yo its a mess
I dont know what I got to do to make you understand
Im for real and thats 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 Im such a man
and call my name, so let me set your body aflame
Ill never treat you like a dame or run game
Now whos to blame?
I know youre not a hoe for niggaz with a lot of dough
But I just wanted you to know

Chorus (+ "silently" at end)

Chorus 1/2 (+ "silently, si-lent-ly" at end)

*whistling of music fades away*
