(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)
