Cheap Talk; Expensive Silence
Yet, both at the same time can become Violent.
The reason why talk is cheap
Is because is silence golden
Yet, the freedom of speech
Doesn't protect the silence we're holdin'
So, when it
Comes to not expending your energy
and casting your pearls before swine
You best be saving your voice, breath, and even your time
It doesn't matter how many kernels of truth
Will pass through their system
If they never listen
Just tryin' to get in
One more word to dismiss them
Since they whine, squeal, and oink
Never get, Nor get to the point
So let me make this a point
As I appoint and not flaunt
Ensure Your past does not haunt
What you could've done or said
But instead at times you refused to remain silent instead
So I told them
That since silence is golden
Work through internal dialogue and listen
Meditate and glisten
Or else you're just pissin'
Away everything valuable
That a wise person would have to say
That you may only hear once in a Centur-Ray
But to this day
They don't speak unless needed
To not argue with idiots
Get dragged down and beaten with experience
It's no experiment
I've seen the detriment
Of people looking a gift horse in the mouth
Instead of flossin' their own teeth
Disease and Decay lookin' more deadly than a cottonmouth
Try to not to get stuck
With the pigs
and roll around in the muck
Cause then it'll suck
Clean yourself up
And get out of the mud
But in a river with clay
You can find gold and relay
The truth of the nuggets
Like the field of corn, farmers dug it
The horse doesn't neigh
Let the donkeys bray
Your silence ain't weak
Sometimes you gotta allow an Ass Whole to Speak
Silver tongues should never speak words less than copper
Instead of erupting like a bottle of champagne
You might need a stopper
To stop your own pain
Don't outpour words of wisdom
Some people don't deserve your words
they let their mouths run
Sometimes it's just best to bite your tongue
Save yourself from exercise for your lungs
I don't know what else you want me to say
I already said it
Never argue with people
Who are Pigheaded
Trust me, you'll regret it
And feel jaded
You hate it
As you feel unlistened
Dismissed then
You wanna forget them
But then you let them
Live rent free
Up in your head
With arguments imaginary
Shampoo bottles clapping in the shower, that's extraordinary
But hold on cause it's pretty scary
To allow people like that
Have that much power over you
So what'cha gonna do?
How you gonna get your due
and Just Desserts
Cause you know it hurts
To mocked
and knocked
Off the clock
As their looks and gestures are more than dismissive
Understand their nature
Submit
But don't be Submissive
But we gotta admit
Forgive yourself
But we shouldn't be permissive
Of improper treatment
It'll feel like defeat then
Just treat yourself right
Reserve your right
To hold your tongue back
Since stubborn people abundantly lack
The ability to understand their destructive narrative
They make it their imperative
To have others fit into their story
No matter how innocent or gory
So you should not worry
If you do not associate
For your reputation to survive
Sometimes it necessitates
On letting motor jaws run their mouths
To seal their own fate
Now these words to you may not be worth more than a dime
Alright, then fine
But at least remember this line
"Never put your pearls before the swine
'Cause the swine will always whine
So it's best to go and find
Those who'll appreciate your time."
