(Verse 1 - Dave the Fave) What’s a world without words? It’s the one from which we’ve emerged The kids couldn’t write cursive; what’s worse is, they can’t write at all now And they all fall down, now college dropouts with the top down No they’re not depressed - they just like to text And the text messages taken outta context They can’t write but they can text, now Let’s go to the dinner table Mom and pop do it too, it’s okay, so What is the disconnection? Though connected, there’s indirection in direction Looking down is right but what’s left if you don’t look up? I’m shook up thinking of where we’re headed as humans Evolution or forever ruined? Now, Technology ain’t all that bad I’ll admit, without it - I’d have a heart attack too I’m Nobody’s Hero like a tattoo Just chasin like National Lampoon A state of betterment, Something refreshing like peppermint But when I get messages with letters mixed up Like a kindergartener testing in a high school spelling test… I’m vexed cause it means something - it’s a new language Killing the current, killing the flow So I ride it, while I write wondering where to go God bless tech advancement but let’s not forget the meaning of human interaction I got a passion for connection so let’s add and cut the subtraction (Chorus - Dave the Fave) Imagine A world without words Connection lost Nobody concurs Without words, there’s nothing Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing (Verse 2 - MCMD) In a world without words, how will we communicate? Face to face to face - let me demonstrate Handshakes mean more than a silly game They symbolize the intent in which you came Can’t hide behind the words that we use to “I’m fine” couldn’t be used to shield you From the pain in your eyes, it embraces a kind of a way I can say “I apologize” Our lives crossed paths through the silence Our face masks hate, are we fated for violence? Or am I intense for no reason? Without words, easily be friends World like this can teach you things Painfully human and each the same Same needs, hopes, dreams, and visions Take a second to stop and start to listen (DTF) And you’ll learn so much Profound isn’t it? How we learn can be infinite If you just stop talking for a little bit Conversations can become more intimate And I heard some people aren’t into it Saying me and MC are too literate? Well maybe you are just too illiterate This the real - you bastards illegitimate P killin it again - my words a weapon I use it for good to connect when All else fails, music’s the language Universal, you could even be Spanglish And feel my verses, I got you at the mercy of my words For listening, I say mercy - I mean merci boucaud So many blessings, I can’t count (Dooku) (MCMD) We are all clones anyways, why make more? Kill a man cause of words - whatchu killin him for? Differences in the choices that we’ve made Outweighed by the ways, we are each the same Have a voice, have a voice, you can hear me now But if a choice of noise, I would shut my mouth - zip it Like Teller, I would mute my tongue It’s the words that we use where disputes are from In a world without, the deaf man’s king Wouldn’t fight for the right to defend my speech Just enjoy my life; a beautiful dream Wouldn’t waste all our time on arguing Whether he said this or she meant that Believe in faith or believe in fact? At the end of the day, we just each want love Rather than hide, I would greet you with a hug (DTF) Uhh, I guess being wordless may not be worthless after all Cause actions speak loudest of all…right? But like all things Balance comes to light Day and night, yin and yang Me and MC - one without the other feels kinda empty And the theory ain’t flat as a mat You bare witness to it now as a matter of fact (MCMD) Flat as a Matt; now you talkin bout my abs, P Words can be poisonous like a Gastly Cut my tongue out: Old Boy, it’s the last scene I would still be stellar, dog - word to Abigail What the hell’s he planning to say? Words pass through you like a gamma ray It’s incredible how little credit they hold Words could just be used to keep you controlled (DTF) Through music, we got lots of it Jackson - you woulda thought I was it Vital to me are my ABC’s And they’re almost as viral as MC’s (MCMD) See, I guess keep at least them letters Master of ceremonies with a vendetta Kill a vocab test to see what’s next You can have words back when you show respect (Chorus)
