Nobody Speak
DJ Shadow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Picture this
I'm a bag of dicks
Put me to your lips
I am sick
I will punch a baby bear in his shit
Give me lip
I'ma send you to the yard, get a stick, make a switch
I can end a conversation real quick

I am crack
I ain't lying, kick a lion in his crack
I'm the shit, I will fall off in your crib, take a shit
Pinch your momma on the booty, kick your dog, fuck your bitch
Fat boy dressed up like he's Santa and took pictures with your kids

We the best
We will cut a frowny face in your chest, little wench
I'm unmentionably fresh, I'm a mensch, get correct
I will walk into a court while erect, screaming
"Yes! I am guilty motherfuckers, I am death"

Hey, you wanna hear a good joke?

Nobody speak, nobody get choked

Get running
Start pumping your bunions, I'm coming
I'm the dumbest, who flamethrow your function to Funyons
Flame your crew quicker than Trump fucks his youngest
Now face the flame fuckers your fame and fate's done with

I walk Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Linus and Lucy
Put coke in the doobie roll moodies to smoke with Snoopy
I still remain that dick grabbing slacker that spit a loogie
'Cause the toter of the toolie'll murder you friggin' moolies
Fuck outta here, yeah

Nobody speak, nobody get choked, hey
Nobody speak, nobody get choked, hey
Nobody speak
Nobody speak

Only facts I will shoot up
Baby duck if it quacks, with a Ruger
Top billin', come cops and villainous
Shots is blocked, shipped out, and bought, and you're feeling it
El-p killing it, Killer Mike killing shit

What more can I say? We top dealing it
Valiant without villainy
Viciously file victory
Burn towns and villages
Burning, looting and pillaging

Murderers try to hurt us we curse them and all their children
I just want the bread and bologna bundles to tuck away
I don't work for free, I am barely giving a fuck away

So tell beggin' Johnny and Mommy to get the fuck away
Hey yo, here's a gun, son, now run, get it the gutterway
Live to shoot another day

Nobody speak, nobody get choked, hey
Nobody speak, nobody get choked, hey
Nobody speak




Nobody speak
Nobody speak, nobody get choked

You better run and get ready to flee, because I am coming after you with a vengeance. I am so stupid that I will destroy your entire gathering with a reference to a snack food.

I am a character from a beloved children's comic strip who has turned to drugs and violence. I will associate my illegal drugs with a fictional dog and commit disgusting acts, because I am not afraid to humiliate others. I will murder people who belong to a certain ethnic group, and will not tolerate them or their presence.


Only facts I will shoot up Baby duck if it quacks, with a Ruger Top billin', come cops and villainous Shots is blocked, shipped out, and bought, and you're feeling it El-p killing it, Killer Mike killing shit
I will only be truthful and accurate in my actions, which are like taking a large gun and aiming it at anything that moves or makes noise. I am the top performer and can defeat any opponent, whether they are law enforcement agents or corrupt criminals. The bullets I fire will be numerous, bought, and effective at causing pain and harm. The two of us, El-p and Killer Mike, are very good at completing our task and making you suffer.

We are the best and most competent in our business, which involves violent acts and destruction. We are brave and heroic, but don't expect us to be modest or without malice. We will take what we want, regardless of the harm it causes to innocent people and their homes. We will make sure to curse and punish anyone who tries to stop us or hurt us. All we really care about is being wealthy and having enough food to survive, and we will do anything, even if it means killing people or fleeing from law enforcement, to get there.


Nobody speak, nobody get choked, hey Nobody speak, nobody get choked, hey Nobody speak Nobody speak Nobody speak, nobody get choked
Don't talk back, or I will have to use physical violence or repression against you in order to maintain control and dominance over the interaction.

@drawnsequence

There's literally not a single shot where anyone seems like they're overacting, underselling, overselling the action... and it's in slow motion where mistakes and imperfections show for soooo much longer. I'm blown away - just amazing.
