I Carry Silence Like a Gun

I learned early how to hold my tongue, How to finish fights before they’re done. Some men talk till they feel tall, Some of us don’t talk at all.

I’ve seen words turn good men weak, Turn truth into something cheap. So I keep mine locked and clean, Only loaded when it means something.

I don’t threaten, I don’t warn, I just stay calm and move on.

I carry silence like a gun, Don’t wave it around, don’t show anyone. I don’t fire first, I don’t bluff, But when I speak, it’s enough. I don’t shout, I don’t run, I carry silence like a gun.

I’ve watched loud men lose control, Watched quiet ones take the whole room. Noise fades fast, power don’t — It just stands there and lets you assume.

I don’t need the last damn word, I don’t need to be heard. If I say it, it’s already late, Means I’ve weighed it — and sealed your fate.

I don’t raise hell, I don’t chase, I just don’t miss when I speak my case.

I carry silence like a gun, Heavy, honest, always loaded. I don’t explain, I don’t stun, I just mean what I’ve spoken. I don’t talk just to be someone, I carry silence like a gun.

I’ve learned: The quiet ones Are the ones you watch.

Some men need noise to feel strong, Some need chaos to belong. Me — I learned restraint, And restraint don’t shake.

I carry silence like a gun, Not for show, not for fun. I don’t pull it unless it’s true, Unless there’s nothing left to do. I don’t brag, I don’t stun, I carry silence like a gun.
