Language Of Violence - The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy[00:00:00]
The first day of school was always the hardest[00:00:30]
The first day of school the hallways the darkest[00:00:33]
Like a gauntlet[00:00:35]
The voices haunted[00:00:37]
Walking in with his thin skin lowered chin[00:00:38]
He knew the names that they would taunt him with[00:00:41]
Fagot sissy punk queen queer[00:00:44]
Although he'd never had sex in his 15 years[00:00:46]
And when they harassed him it was for a reason[00:00:49]
And when they provoked him it became open season[00:00:52]
For the fox and the hunter the sparks and the thunder[00:00:54]
That pushed the boy under then pillage and plunder[00:00:57]
It kind of makes you wonder[00:01:00]
How one can hurt another[00:01:01]
But dehumanizing the victim makes things simpler[00:01:06]
It's like breathing with a respirator[00:01:09]
It eases the conscience of even the most conscious[00:01:12]
And calculating violator[00:01:15]
Words can reduce a person to an object[00:01:16]
Something more easy to hate[00:01:19]
An inanimate entity completely disposable[00:01:20]
No problem to obliterate[00:01:24]
But death is the silence[00:01:26]
In this language of violence[00:01:28]
Death is the silence[00:01:30]
But death is the silence[00:01:31]
In this cycle of violence[00:01:33]
Death is the silence[00:01:35]
It's tough to be young the young long to be tougher[00:01:36]
When we pick on someone else it might make us feel rougher[00:01:39]
Abused by their fathers but was at home though[00:01:42]
So to prove to each other that they were not homos[00:01:44]
The exclamation of the phobic fury[00:01:47]
Executioner a judge and jury[00:01:49]
The mob mentality individuality was nowhere[00:01:51]
Dignity forgotten at the bottom of a dumb[00:01:55]
Old dare and a numb cold stare[00:01:57]
On the way home it was back to name calling[00:01:59]
Ten against one they had his back up against the wall and[00:02:02]
They reveled in their laughter as they surrounded him[00:02:05]
But it wasn't a game when they up jumped and grounded him[00:02:06]
They picked up their bats with their muscles straining[00:02:10]
And they decided they were gonna beat this fella's brain in[00:02:12]
With an awful powerful showerful an hour full of violence[00:02:14]
Inflict the strictest brutality and dominance[00:02:18]
They didn't hear him screaming they didn't hear him pleading[00:02:20]
They ran like cowards and left the boy bleeding[00:02:22]
In a pool of red 'til all tears were shed[00:02:24]
And his eyes quietly slid into the back of his head[00:02:27]
Dead[00:02:30]
But death is the silence[00:02:32]
In this language of violence[00:02:34]
Death is the silence[00:02:36]
But death is the silence[00:02:37]
In this cycle of violence[00:02:39]
Death is the silence[00:02:41]
You won't see the face 'til the eyelids drop[00:02:42]
You won't hear the screaming until it stops[00:02:45]
You won't see the face 'til the eyelids drop[00:02:47]
You won't hear the screaming until it stops[00:02:50]
The boy's parents were gone and his grandmother had raised him[00:03:02]
She was mad she had no form of retaliation[00:03:05]
The pack didn't have to worry about being on a hit list[00:03:07]
But the thing they never thought about was that there was a witness[00:03:10]
To this senseless crime right place wrong time[00:03:13]
Tried as an adult one of them was gonna do hard time[00:03:15]
The first day of prison was always the hardest[00:03:33]
The first day of prison the hallways the darkest[00:03:36]
Like a gauntlet[00:03:38]
The voices haunted[00:03:39]
Fagot sissy punk queen queer[00:03:40]
Words he used before had a new meaning in here[00:03:43]
As a group of men in front of him came near[00:03:46]
For the first time in his life the young bully felt fear[00:03:48]
He'd never been on this side of the name calling[00:03:53]
Five against one they had his back up against the wall and[00:03:56]
He had never questioned his own sexuality[00:03:58]
But this group of men didn't hesitate in their reality[00:04:00]
With an awful powerful showerful an hour full of violence[00:04:03]
Inflict the strictest brutality and dominance[00:04:07]
They didn't hear him screaming[00:04:09]
They didn't hear him pleading[00:04:10]
They took what they wanted and then left him bleeding in the corner[00:04:11]
The giant reduced to Jack Horner[00:04:15]
But dehumanizing the victim makes things simpler[00:04:24]
It's like breathing with a respirator[00:04:26]
It eases the conscience of even the most conscious[00:04:29]
And calculating violator[00:04:32]
The power of words don't take it for granted[00:04:34]
When you hear a man ranting[00:04:37]
Don't just read the lips be more sublime than this[00:04:39]
Put everything in context[00:04:43]
Is this a tale of rough justice[00:04:44]
In a land where there's no justice at all [00:04:47]
Who is really the victim[00:04:50]
Or are we all the cause and victim of it all [00:04:52]
But death is the silence[00:04:59]
In this language of violence[00:05:01]
Death is the silence[00:05:03]
But death is the silence[00:05:04]
In this cycle of violence[00:05:06]
Death is the silence[00:05:08]
You won't see the face 'til the eyelids drop[00:05:09]
You won't hear the screaming until it stops[00:05:12]
You won't see the face 'til the eyelids drop[00:05:14]
You won't hear the screaming until it stops[00:05:17]
