The Silence Of My Friends

THE SILENCE OF MY FRIENDS
 Backbiters and haters talk behind my back
 And you sit there while they attack
 Maybe you agree/or don't know what to do
 But when your back is turned they'll talk the same about you
 I like it when people can get along
 Like understanding words to a song
 When you know the truth you can't pretend
 I don't like the silence of my friends
 You talk about women like pieces of meat
 You think I should laugh but I can't agree
 Wait a minute brother don't go no further
 What if I said that about your mother?
 I like it when people can get along
 Like understanding words to my song
 When you know the truth you can't pretend
 I don't like the silence of my friends.
 Don't sit and act like you don't know
 Your silence helps evil grow
 You kill evil at the root
 'Cause people will do what you let 'em do
 They say all lives matter between me and you
 But when look closely it don't seem true
 So we protest to say what's on our minds
 While you sit there quiet on the sideline
 I like it when people can get along
 Like understanding words to my song
 When you know the truth and can't pretend
 I don't like the silence of my friends
 I don't like the silence of my friends
 I don't like the silence of my friends
 I don't like the silence of my friends
 If you say you're my friend you better speak up right now
