The Code Of Silence
They spin tales, fragile threads of lies Thinking I'm blind, that I can't see their ties But I am no fool, I read the game Laugh in silence, they are all the same Love sits heavy, locked in my chest But showing it now? That's a fool's quest He moves in silence, he follows suit And they whisper sweet lies, thinking I'll salute "Bro, ella te ama", The words fall flat But trust ain't a gift, I'm smarter than that I'm quite, I'm calm, I'm minding my grind Money, the future, the peace I'll find The code I keep, unbroken still Listening doesn't mean trust at will Let them dance in their secrecy's glow I watch, I learn and I already know
