Lyrics

[Intro]
(Sing the hook bro) (Got it)
It goes like that
(Flow)
It goes like that
Just like that


[HOOK]
Adey then you barge 
Into my zone and you found 
My feet on carpets blue Plush
They dressed in white like Ku Klux
A knife for prophet Lou
They're Herod my hood
Them no dey barb like Who
Want try come claim my, claim my, claim my 

[Verse]
Freedom of speech
Freedom of **
Freedom of livin' without any symptoms 
Strict with my company, nobody victim
Nobody playing with nobody rhythm 
Ano dey like when they call me some names
Like "He used to do this now he ain't the same", 
Like I'm gonna die , if I don't change 
Like now I've arrived, Get off my stage (eh)
Get off limbs, it don't happen abrupt
Brawlin' opinions whenever I try
Gettin' acclimatised, sticking upright
I only got calmer livin' in Accra
I battle the difference, they can't all survive
Nobody listens unless they require
I'm saying this loud, you don't like my style
Then leave it and don't come attackin', I'm proud
Don't follow the crowd, ***

[Hook]
Adey then you barge 
Into my zone and you found 
My feet on carpets blue Plush
They dressed in white like Ku Klux
A knife for prophet Lou
They're Herod my hood
Them no dey barb like Who
Want try come claim my, claim my, claim my 

[Bridge]
Yo, Come for me, all of you, I'm leveling way up
Double down, posted on you my socials
Join the party (On My God, loving my voice now)
Join the party (On My God, melts my Cardiac)

[Verse 2]
Like Barbie but she choking on talia
Minus the "alia"
Sick diarrhea of a flow
Bro, where were we at? (Clear throat)

They open their mouth and then started a war
Then allowing the devil in a sitting, 
Family or enemy, touchin' me 
Never gon' let the opinions sink in

Thinkin' of loner 
Thinkin' of parties 
Thinkin' of wine
Thinkin' of doin' my own thing I'm fine
The prophetic line came out
See Judases runnin' to my house
Got kicked on the floor(Are you serious?)
Beat me to crawl (Are you serious?)
Scold me some more (Are you serious?)
Then said they was sorry (Ah serious?)
Chale!

[Hook]
Adey then you barge 
Into my zone and you found 
My feet on carpets blue Plush
They dressed in white like Ku Klux
A knife for prophet Lou
They'reHerod my hood
Them no dey barb like Who
Want try come claim my, claim my, claim my 

[Outro]
Numbing my mind like Sensei said
You Shootin' more shots at a dead brain

Okay the party is over...


About
Soundless is about a dream I had when I fell asleep after writing the prayer. In that dream, I have a conversation with a friend, Ivan, from High school. He says something that challenges my beliefs about people. I always thought doing right would make me accepted by everyone. He clearly says, "You can't convince everyone". You can only demonstrate whatever you want to prove. And that's by being you. 

The Dream
I'm sitting in my room with my feet on my blue plush carpets, and I see people dressed like Ku Klux Klan members come into my house to stab me. I have a gun and I start set myself to shoot them all. Some of these people look like friends and family members and I wasn't willing to fall for anything. They wanted to kill me because I was saying abominable things, according to them. The dream is the hook of the song. After a while of dodging bullets and blades, I got hit on my arm, and one of the KKKs took the gun and shot at my head. I didn't die, but we (including the KKKs) started chanting this instead:

"You're numbing my mind like Sensei said
You're shooting more shots at a dead brain."

It felt like I reached the point where I needed to hear my own wishes. It's scary that I had a dream like that, prompting me to start listening to myself. In short, no matter what you do, someone would get offended so just be you and let them come at you. Even if they are dressed like racist protestants!
