Quiet
The Game Lyrics

When the sun goes down and them guns come out
Violent conflicts arise when weapons are involved and situations become more dangerous when the sun goes down, increasing the potential for danger.

Them niggaz that was talkin' they won't run they mouth
People who were previously talking boldly will become silent when it is actually time to take action.

When them shells start poppin', bodies start droppin'
The sound of gunfire is often accompanied by loss of life.

(It's so quiet you can hear a rat pissing on cotton)
The record scratches to a halt and it's eerily silent, as if you could hear something very small and quiet like pee dripping on cotton.

Do you see what I see, can you hear what I hear
Are you aware of the reality of this situation?

All these stu-di-o gangsters, year after year
Artists who portray themselves as tough in the studio, year after year, instead of actually living a tough lifestyle in the streets.

With these gimiicks I can't take it they ain't real so they fakin it
The constant gimmicks and fake posturing of these studio gangsters is unbearable.

How did they make it in this game for so long
How did they manage to stay relevant in the rap game for so many years despite their inauthenticity?

I know what's right from what's wrong, I know what's soft from what's hard
I have a strong sense of morality and can differentiate between what is weak and what is strong.

I know a federal case, from a publicity charge
I am well-versed in the legal system and know the difference between a serious criminal charge and a minor publicity stunt.

Man I FOUGHT tooth and NAIL to keep them PUNKS out of JAIL
I worked tirelessly to prevent these weak and cowardly individuals from ending up in jail.

But hoes wanna go to COURT 'til I pay them for they NAILS
People who I don't respect are challenging me in court, trying to take advantage of me for money.

Who you tryin to be? Man it couldn't be me
Who are you trying to be? You are not me, and you never will be.

My man spent guap and bought me my Continental T
My partner spent a significant amount of money to show his appreciation for me.

You spent your advance on your Continental T
You used the money you received in advance from your record deal to purchase a car.

I know you sick when you clean your RIMS you still see a Bee
You are so obsessed with my success that even when you clean your own car, you can still see my influence on you.

And we see you a LIAR, tryin to DENY HER
You are a liar who is trying to deny the truth.

Jackie O. proved you FAR from a FIGHTER
Jackie O. exposed you as being far from someone who can handle real conflict.

Comin at ME bitch you playin with FIRE
If you are trying to start a conflict with me, you are playing a dangerous game.

I ain't gon' come back at you, I'm comin at your GHOSTWRITERS
I am not going to address you directly, I will instead confront the people you paid to write your lyrics.

I hear 'em talkin like they gangster material
I hear people talking as if they are tough and intimidating.

But I don't see it man their gangster's invisible
I don't see any actual proof of their supposed toughness or fearlessness.

The hot iron's what them gangsters put into you
Gangsters use violence and intimidation tactics to try and control others.

'Til you laid up and your gangster's on critical
Until you are hospitalized or in a near-death state, you won't be able to see how weak and vulnerable you really are.

SHOTS get into you bleedin like my men-e-straul
Gunshots wound you and you bleed profusely as if it were your menstrual cycle.

And if I don't like you then I will pretend to
If I do not like you, I will act as if I do to deceive you.

It's the ones that befriend you that TURN up against you
It is often the people you think are your friends that will be the first to betray and attack you.

In the court of law and drop a DIME like Sprint do
They will share information and betray you in court just as easily as a cell phone provider can 'drop a dime' for security purposes.

Supposed to be tough huh? 'Til them boys touch ya
You may talk tough, but your demeanor will quickly change when you are actually confronted with violence.

Chump muh'fuckers start confessin like Usher
Weak individuals will quickly start confessing and giving up information when they are threatened, much like how Usher (a singer) would confess his love to someone.

I cut you off cause I knew I couldn't trust ya
I stopped associating with you because I realized I could not rely on you to be truthful or loyal.

Lame ass bustas, backwards-ass hustlers
You are a weak and ineffective hustler who does not know how to achieve success in the right way.

You fake phony, you always was lil' homey
You are a fake and inauthentic person who has always been dishonest and untrustworthy, just like a little sibling trying to act tough.

Big lil' son bab' boy like Jody
You are trying to act tough like Jody, a character from the movie Baby Boy, but you are not successful in portraying this persona.

I put you under my wing, bought you your first Roley
I treated you like family, mentoring you and even buying you an expensive watch.

Nigga I helped raised you, why would I play you?
I played a significant role in your upbringing, so why would I betray you now?

You see it always be them ones talkin this and that
It is often the people who talk the most who have the least amount of actual substance behind their words.

How they knife game ILL and they gun go CLAP
Individuals who brag about their knife skills and shootouts are usually not as skilled as they seem.

Them niggaz rats, they run and they trap
People who frequently snitch to law enforcement are weak and cowardly individuals who are only trying to save themselves.

'Til they run in a trap, and there's no comin back
They may continue to snitch until they inevitably become trapped and can no longer escape the consequences of their actions.

It be the SAME ones talkin 'bout the guns they sparkin
The people who talk the most about their guns and their willingness to use them are usually not the people who actually do so.

The dogs never bite but do a whole lotta barkin
These individuals may talk a big game, but they never actually follow through on their threats.

A whole lotta growlin 'til the wolves start howlin
They may continue to posture and act tough until they are actually met with real danger or opposition.

They pitbull shit, man them niggaz straight cowards
These individuals may take on the persona of pitbulls, but they are actually cowards who are not capable of defending themselves.

Got 'em scared to death, pissin in they trousers
These people are so afraid that they are urinating in their pants.

Always was a bitch that's why I sent his ass flowers
You have always been a weak and cowardly individual, which is why I sent you flowers to further humiliate you.

Thanks to the Queen he can share 'em with his team
Thanks to me, you are now in a position to share your humiliation and shame with your team.

You can run top speed BUT YOU CAN'T DODGE THE BEAM
You may be able to run quickly, but you cannot avoid the consequences of your actions forever.

Got a CLEAN 16 and my spit game mean
I have a smooth and impressive flow when rapping and can deliver 16 lines with precision and control.

Don't be fooled and deceived, everything ain't what it seems
Do not be misled by appearances, as things are not always what they appear to be.

You act like you don't know what side of town this realer
You are pretending like you do not know the reality of the situation in this neighborhood.

Niggaz softer than chinchillas but on wax they killers
These individuals are softer than small and furry chinchillas, but on their songs they try to portray themselves as tough and deadly.
