Silent Treatment
Ahmir K. Thompson, Leonard N. Hubbard, Scott Spencer Storch, Tarik L. Collins
Girl, you know that you need
To stop givin' me the silent, treatment baby
Can't you see what you mean to me?
I want to love you constantly, but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently
Girl, you know that you need
To stop givin' me the silent, treatment baby
Can't you see what you mean to me?
I want to love you constantly, but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently
Yo, I had a Queen named Amina, height 5'7"
Caramel-complected, body like Heaven
Met her through the sister of my man, Big Vince
Like some shit from out the flicks we been in love ever since
She called me her "Chocolate Brotha", I call her my "Sugar Sista"
Knew shorty could work it since before I ever kissed her
I never dissed her, painted my picture to hit
But because sex she wasn't with, she started flippin an' shit
Like, "Listen man, I'm Queen Amina, Amina's not no freak and
That game is weak and keep tryin to hit I could quit speakin'
Tariq in fact, you bein' Black Thought, don't get ya closer
I dig ya but won't bone ya because I'm so-called supposed ta
Most of them would, but that couldn't be me, that's not my flavor
Go home and think about that, maybe later on I'll page ya"
I contemplated, and then concluded she was bluffin'
Steady pursuin' screwin', gettin' nothin' but the silent treatment

Girl, you know that you need
To stop givin' me the silent, treatment baby
Can't you see what you mean to me?
I want to love you constantly, but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently, silently
Crazy frustration, about my lovin' situation
When patience was a virtue, but I wasn't used to waitin'
I want some Marvin Gaye healin', feelin' is real inside
I slip and slide, my ride'll keep you occupied, I'd
Love to get wit it like that, but my baby's kitty cat's capped
And locked, Love Boat is docked at the shore
And what for? Later for groupies on tour
Why won't my sugar call me no more?
I mean, my Queen gets upset, rejectin' and sexually neglect
Then sayin' I'm more sewer than Das EFX, and closed-minded
It's like I'm blinded by the skinnin'
I'm into women because of that, this one's into communication
Temptation played the vandal, freakin' my brain, my mind
Rippin' the handle on physically scandalous acts
Yo! She knew what I wanted, but she fronted
Bust it

I want to love you constantly, but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently, silently
Well, um
Movin' right along with the song, plus the strong
Feelings on my mind, desire to intertwine
Combine and blend, baby bust a message that I send
Ain't no need to pretend, 'cause shit is real til the end
I provide a place to hide from crime, hard times
And livin' trife, while I open ya mind, you're in my life
Like love, it ain't no way no one can rise above what's real
That's why I'm feelin' like you're makin' me bugged
I puff a L on fifty deuce while I walk in the rain
Heart feelin' killer pain while I hop the train
Dial her number to the rest, and ain't no messages left
Regardless, my chest thumps from stress, yo it's a mess
I don't know what I got to do to make you understand
I'm for real and that's no question, no frontin' or no guessin'
Undressin', carressin', in the span, that I contain in my hand
Could touch and make you say that I'm such a man
And call my name, so let me set your body aflame
I'll never treat you like a dame or run game
Now, who's to blame?
I know you're not a hoe for niggas with a lot of dough
But I just wanted you to know
Girl, you know that you need
To stop givin' me the silent, treatment baby
Can't you see what you mean to me?
I want to love you constantly, but you keep neglecting me

Can't you see what you mean to me?
Non vedi cosa significhi per me?
I want to love you constantly, but you keep neglecting me
Voglio amarti costantemente, ma continui a trascurarmi
And treating me silently
E a trattarmi in silenzio

Yo, I had a Queen named Amina, height 5'7"
Yo, avevo una Regina di nome Amina, alta 1,70
Caramel-complected, body like Heaven
Di carnagione caramello, corpo come il paradiso
Met her through the sister of my man, Big Vince
L'ho conosciuta attraverso la sorella del mio amico, Big Vince
Like some shit from out the flicks we been in love ever since
Come una roba da film, siamo stati innamorati da allora
She called me her "Chocolate Brotha", I call her my "Sugar Sista"
Lei mi chiamava il suo "Fratello di Cioccolato", io la chiamavo la mia "Sorella di Zucchero"
Knew shorty could work it since before I ever kissed her
Sapevo che la tipa poteva lavorare da prima che l'avessi mai baciata
I never dissed her, painted my picture to hit
Non l'ho mai disseduta, ho dipinto il mio quadro per colpirla
But because sex she wasn't with, she started flippin an' shit
Ma perché il sesso non le andava, ha iniziato a fare storie
Like, "Listen man, I'm Queen Amina, Amina's not no freak and
Come, "Ascolta, sono la Regina Amina, Amina non è una sgualdrina e
That game is weak and keep tryin to hit I could quit speakin'
Quel gioco è debole e continua a provare a colpire potrei smettere di parlare
Tariq in fact, you bein' Black Thought, don't get ya closer
Tariq infatti, tu che sei Black Thought, non ti avvicina
I dig ya but won't bone ya because I'm so-called supposed ta
Mi piaci ma non ti farò perché dovrei farlo
Most of them would, but that couldn't be me, that's not my flavor
La maggior parte di loro lo farebbe, ma non potrei essere io, non è il mio gusto
Go home and think about that, maybe later on I'll page ya"
Vai a casa e pensaci su, forse più tardi ti chiamerò"
I contemplated, and then concluded she was bluffin'
Ho riflettuto, e poi ho concluso che stava bluffando
Steady pursuin' screwin', gettin' nothin' but the silent treatment
Continuavo a cercare di farlo, non ottenendo altro che il trattamento del silenzio

Crazy frustration, about my lovin' situation
Frustrazione pazzesca, sulla mia situazione d'amore
When patience was a virtue, but I wasn't used to waitin'
Quando la pazienza era una virtù, ma non ero abituato ad aspettare
I want some Marvin Gaye healin', feelin' is real inside
Voglio un po' di guarigione alla Marvin Gaye, il sentimento è reale dentro
I slip and slide, my ride'll keep you occupied, I'd
Scivolo e scivolo, il mio giro ti terrà occupata, vorrei
Love to get wit it like that, but my baby's kitty cat's capped
Riuscire a farlo così, ma la mia ragazza ha il gattino chiuso
And locked, Love Boat is docked at the shore
E bloccato, Love Boat è attraccato alla riva
And what for? Later for groupies on tour
E per cosa? Più tardi per le groupies in tour
Why won't my sugar call me no more?
Perché il mio zucchero non mi chiama più?
I mean, my Queen gets upset, rejectin' and sexually neglect
Voglio dire, la mia regina si arrabbia, rifiuta e trascura sessualmente
Then sayin' I'm more sewer than Das EFX, and closed-minded
Poi dice che sono più fogna di Das EFX, e chiuso mentalmente
It's like I'm blinded by the skinnin'
È come se fossi accecato dallo scarno
I'm into women because of that, this one's into communication
Sono interessato alle donne a causa di questo, questa è interessata alla comunicazione
Temptation played the vandal, freakin' my brain, my mind
La tentazione ha giocato il vandalo, mi ha fatto impazzire il cervello, la mente
Rippin' the handle on physically scandalous acts
Strappando la maniglia su atti scandalosamente fisici
Yo! She knew what I wanted, but she fronted
Yo! Sapeva cosa volevo, ma ha fatto la difficile
Bust it
Bust it

Proseguendo con la canzone, più il forte
Feelings on my mind, desire to intertwine
Sentimenti nella mia mente, desiderio di intrecciarsi
Combine and blend, baby bust a message that I send
Combinare e mescolare, baby manda un messaggio che invio
Ain't no need to pretend, 'cause shit is real til the end
Non c'è bisogno di fingere, perché la merda è reale fino alla fine
I provide a place to hide from crime, hard times
Fornisco un posto dove nascondersi dal crimine, tempi duri
And livin' trife, while I open ya mind, you're in my life
E vivere trife, mentre ti apro la mente, sei nella mia vita
Like love, it ain't no way no one can rise above what's real
Come l'amore, non c'è modo che nessuno possa superare ciò che è reale
That's why I'm feelin' like you're makin' me bugged
Ecco perché mi sento come se mi stessi facendo impazzire
I puff a L on fifty deuce while I walk in the rain
Fumo un L su cinquanta deuce mentre cammino sotto la pioggia
Heart feelin' killer pain while I hop the train
Il cuore sente un dolore killer mentre salto sul treno
Dial her number to the rest, and ain't no messages left
Compongo il suo numero per il resto, e non ci sono messaggi lasciati
Regardless, my chest thumps from stress, yo it's a mess
Indipendentemente, il mio petto batte dallo stress, yo è un casino
I don't know what I got to do to make you understand
Non so cosa devo fare per farti capire
I'm for real and that's no question, no frontin' or no guessin'
Sono per davvero e non c'è domanda, nessuna finzione o indovinanza
Undressin', carressin', in the span, that I contain in my hand
Spogliarsi, accarezzarsi, nell'arco, che contengo nella mia mano
Could touch and make you say that I'm such a man
Potrebbe toccare e farti dire che sono un tale uomo
And call my name, so let me set your body aflame
E chiamare il mio nome, quindi lascia che io infiammi il tuo corpo
I'll never treat you like a dame or run game
Non ti tratterò mai come una dama o correrei il gioco
Now, who's to blame?
Ora, chi è da biasimare?
I know you're not a hoe for niggas with a lot of dough
So che non sei una sgualdrina per i neri con un sacco di soldi
But I just wanted you to know
Ma volevo solo che tu lo sapessi

Estoy en las mujeres por eso, esta está en la comunicación
Temptation played the vandal, freakin' my brain, my mind
La tentación jugó al vándalo, volviendo loco mi cerebro, mi mente
Rippin' the handle on physically scandalous acts
Rompiendo la manija en actos físicamente escandalosos
Yo! She knew what I wanted, but she fronted

Bust it
Búscalo

Soy real y eso no es una pregunta, no es una farsa ni una suposición
Undressin', carressin', in the span, that I contain in my hand
Desnudándose, acariciándose, en el lapso, que contengo en mi mano
Could touch and make you say that I'm such a man
Podría tocar y hacer que digas que soy un hombre
And call my name, so let me set your body aflame
Y llama mi nombre, así que deja que encienda tu cuerpo
I'll never treat you like a dame or run game
Nunca te trataré como a una dama o correré un juego
