yeah
don't fear mere words cuz if it takes a word to ruin ya
you should have already heard you're finished through
and soon ya see that stifling sentences is so much more suspicious
much worse could come of that
so much more delicious
to the dastardly basturdly plans of little mice and men
ugly rears its head and speaks from now and then
people love to disagree so avoid the endless bout
make no attempt to try and suss the stupid out
but of the racist institutions simple minds belong
not happy just being human, no wish to get along
little people need exclusions sucker groups to throng
it makes them feel special it makes them feel strong
now I got a click but it's more like a family
not an ethnic trip more like an ethic see
I write the rhyme today tell it to you later
whether were coming in wack or what
it's a waste to be a hater
can't be stopped too long for the night it will come
shaped in the form of Mars that stone afar
ghetto cool oh well now you feel the spell
the color rocks the bell, the king of swing rise to the top
the rhythm possessed in ya and it don't stop
the mise is broken, the demon locin'
dropping the bomb and all that is left is the smokin'
cloakin' chokin, the lyrics are spoken
infrared vision scopin' condition
now breakin' 'em all to pieces like a sly rap bandit
with a fly Lui-Kang kick in Mortal Kombat and I land it
so get your own back when I jam it
cold and hearing about you rhyme style been outmoded
the dopest flow upon the planet dope is the word the bro
throw up on the down low god dammit
but when we kick you out you're just brokula
you left a big surprise from Pacific Bell
called all your relatives and your friends in Hell
now let me tell you something you f--king piece of s---
you'll never have no money, now tell me was it worth it?
you leave a trail of lies that's why you keep moving
we won't come after you we'd only end up provin
in the end revenge send ends to the defendant
I know that statement's true, I wear it like a pendant
I know you'll hear this song and so I think it's funny
the name is _______ ______, thief of trust and money
our star has long bust but now reappears
in your sky at night rising and immense
yes you see ourselves in the shine of it
and so passing under the dome of the great sky
beware we are the stars Holmes that you ruled by
where death reborn into the world is a gift
so the future with no voice of its own will uplift
all is gone, all is calm y'all, all is gone, all is calm y'all
all is gone, all is calm y'all, all is gone, all is calm y'all
all is gone, all is calm y'all, (set wrecked in L.A. y'all)
all is gone, all is calm y'all, (In the Wetlands of New York)
all is gone, all is calm y'all, (Atlanta and Phoenix)
all is gone, all is calm y'all (Portland, Lincoln and N.O.)

i don't know what this songs, means... does anyone? i would love to know

about a guy 311 lived with they no like guy so they make song about him

The one part if not the whole song is about Tarence Henry, an old roomate of some 311 guys and he ran up their phone bill reeeeeally high (pacific bell is a phone company) so they kicked him out cause he didn't pay it. it goes something like that.

This song doesn't have any one meaning. I alwyas wondered why it's called "Silver" if anyone knows, hollar. I love the verse about Terence Henry and I can't believe they dropped his name! ILL!

"Silver" probably refers to the pieces of silver that Judas received in payment for betraying Jesus (allegedly, if you prefer). The song is a well crafted verbal assault directed towards any traitor. "Terrance Henry" got his name dropped on the album version, but the lyrics are written with a blank, so we can fill in anyone who has betrayed our trust. It is full of celestial references, a common theme for 311, in this case a reminder of Karma. In other words, "You'll get what's coming to you for your lies and evil, you effin piece of sh*t!"

The song is about destroying racism and creating unity... check the lines "but of the racist institutions" to "its a waste to be a hater"
