There's no doubt about it that Brooklyn births some of the most stone cold characters in our nation's history. From Bugsy Siegel to Biggie, Brooklynites never back down from any challenge, even it it involves making enemies in the process. But through the lyrically poised Innocent?, scrappy spitter Ruste Juxx, and raw rhymes of Sean Price, "Silent Murder" gives you an insight of the inner workings of Crooklyn. Devoid of hooks and over produced beats, it's a potent, choir sampling joint that's full of bars detailing the trio's hustle and love for their borough. "Silent Murder" is taken from T.H.E.M. Recordings forthcoming Killin' the Game compilation.. stay tuned!

lyrics:

deep seated in the way back of my mind in the same vein of rosa(parks)
kept me on a lower level like the devil - 
knowin' that there's more, but - 
scared to go & grow & glow 
& maybe even blow up 
why'd you even show up 
if you ain't gon' go in?
eq'd most the highs out
only heard the low end 
thought that it would die out yet it kept on pulsin' 
if that ain't a vital sign then I don't really know, man
deem it a good omen
on some keep it going 
even if it's slow- mo
better than no motion

Kid A: 
Keep smiling even though their words unkind of -
Melodrama took a bite of fruit and spit out sour
Watching God for ions in a malcontent sky
Trying to do us better even though they know that it's all lies

Doesn't seem to know what it's about
Didn't seem to think I'd live without you
Mmm mmm mmm mmm 
I'm doing my thing
But I've got no recollection of you
...
Even if it doesn't seem we'll go real far

Deep seated in the way back of my mind
Never thought that I would ever find these struggle streets unkind
Nothing was forsaken never could've been in
Never fit the mold of currencies and their translations
