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

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
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

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
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

Met her through the sister of my man, Big Vince
Je l'ai rencontrée par la sœur de mon pote, Big Vince
Like some shit from out the flicks we been in love ever since
Comme un truc sorti des films, nous sommes amoureux depuis
She called me her "Chocolate Brotha", I call her my "Sugar Sista"
Elle m'appelait son "Frère Chocolat", je l'appelais ma "Sœur Sucre"
Knew shorty could work it since before I ever kissed her
Je savais que la petite pouvait travailler avant même de l'avoir embrassée
I never dissed her, painted my picture to hit
Je ne l'ai jamais dénigrée, j'ai peint mon tableau pour frapper
But because sex she wasn't with, she started flippin an' shit
Mais parce qu'elle n'était pas avec le sexe, elle a commencé à flipper et à merder
Like, "Listen man, I'm Queen Amina, Amina's not no freak and
Comme, "Écoute mec, je suis la reine Amina, Amina n'est pas une salope et
That game is weak and keep tryin to hit I could quit speakin'
Ce jeu est faible et continue d'essayer de frapper je pourrais arrêter de parler
Tariq in fact, you bein' Black Thought, don't get ya closer
Tariq en fait, tu es Black Thought, ça ne te rapproche pas
I dig ya but won't bone ya because I'm so-called supposed ta
Je t'aime bien mais je ne te baiserai pas parce que je suis soi-disant supposée le faire
Most of them would, but that couldn't be me, that's not my flavor
La plupart d'entre eux le feraient, mais ça ne pourrait pas être moi, ce n'est pas mon truc
Go home and think about that, maybe later on I'll page ya"
Rentres chez toi et penses à ça, peut-être que plus tard je te bipperai"
I contemplated, and then concluded she was bluffin'
J'ai réfléchi, et j'ai conclu qu'elle bluffait
Steady pursuin' screwin', gettin' nothin' but the silent treatment
Poursuivant constamment le sexe, n'obtenant rien d'autre que le traitement du silence

M'y mettre comme ça, mais le minou de mon bébé est bouché
And locked, Love Boat is docked at the shore
Et fermé, le Love Boat est amarré au rivage
And what for? Later for groupies on tour
Et pourquoi ? Plus tard pour les groupies en tournée
Why won't my sugar call me no more?
Pourquoi mon sucre ne m'appelle-t-elle plus ?
I mean, my Queen gets upset, rejectin' and sexually neglect
Je veux dire, ma reine se fâche, me rejette et me néglige sexuellement
Then sayin' I'm more sewer than Das EFX, and closed-minded
Ensuite, elle dit que je suis plus égout que Das EFX, et fermée d'esprit
It's like I'm blinded by the skinnin'
C'est comme si j'étais aveuglé par le déshabillage
I'm into women because of that, this one's into communication
Je suis attiré par les femmes à cause de ça, celle-ci est dans la communication
Temptation played the vandal, freakin' my brain, my mind
La tentation a joué le vandale, en détraquant mon cerveau, mon esprit

And livin' trife, while I open ya mind, you're in my life
Et vivre la trife, pendant que j'ouvre ton esprit, tu es dans ma vie
Like love, it ain't no way no one can rise above what's real
Comme l'amour, il n'y a pas moyen que personne puisse s'élever au-dessus de ce qui est réel

I puff a L on fifty deuce while I walk in the rain

Poder hacerlo así, pero el gatito de mi bebé está tapado
And locked, Love Boat is docked at the shore
Y cerrado, el Barco del Amor está atracado en la orilla
And what for? Later for groupies on tour
¿Y para qué? Más tarde para las groupies en la gira
Why won't my sugar call me no more?
¿Por qué mi azúcar no me llama más?
I mean, my Queen gets upset, rejectin' and sexually neglect
Quiero decir, mi reina se molesta, rechaza y descuida sexualmente
Then sayin' I'm more sewer than Das EFX, and closed-minded
Luego dice que soy más alcantarilla que Das EFX, y de mente cerrada
It's like I'm blinded by the skinnin'
Es como si estuviera cegado por el flirteo
I'm into women because of that, this one's into communication
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
¡Oye! Ella sabía lo que yo quería, pero se hizo la difícil
Bust it
Búscalo
Girl, you know that you need
Chica, sabes que necesitas
To stop givin' me the silent, treatment baby
Dejar de darme el tratamiento silencioso, cariño
Can't you see what you mean to me?
¿No puedes ver lo que significas para mí?
I want to love you constantly, but you keep neglecting me
Quiero amarte constantemente, pero sigues descuidándome
And treating me silently
Y tratándome en silencio

Well, um
Bueno, um
Movin' right along with the song, plus the strong
Avanzando con la canción, más el fuerte
Feelings on my mind, desire to intertwine
Sentimientos en mi mente, deseo de entrelazar
Combine and blend, baby bust a message that I send
Combinar y mezclar, bebé rompe un mensaje que envío
Ain't no need to pretend, 'cause shit is real til the end
No hay necesidad de fingir, porque la mierda es real hasta el final
I provide a place to hide from crime, hard times
Proporciono un lugar para esconderse del crimen, tiempos difíciles
And livin' trife, while I open ya mind, you're in my life
Y viviendo trife, mientras abro tu mente, estás en mi vida
Like love, it ain't no way no one can rise above what's real
Como el amor, no hay forma de que nadie pueda superar lo que es real
That's why I'm feelin' like you're makin' me bugged
Por eso siento que me estás volviendo loco
I puff a L on fifty deuce while I walk in the rain
Fumo un L en cincuenta deuce mientras camino bajo la lluvia
Heart feelin' killer pain while I hop the train
Corazón sintiendo un dolor asesino mientras salto al tren
Dial her number to the rest, and ain't no messages left
Marcar su número para el resto, y no quedan mensajes
Regardless, my chest thumps from stress, yo it's a mess
A pesar de todo, mi pecho late por el estrés, es un desastre
I don't know what I got to do to make you understand
No sé qué tengo que hacer para hacerte entender
I'm for real and that's no question, no frontin' or no guessin'
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
Now, who's to blame?
Ahora, ¿quién tiene la culpa?
I know you're not a hoe for niggas with a lot of dough
Sé que no eres una prostituta para los negros con mucho dinero
But I just wanted you to know
Pero solo quería que supieras

Yo, I had a Queen named Amina, height 5'7"
Yo, ich hatte eine Königin namens Amina, Größe 1,70m
Caramel-complected, body like Heaven
Karamellfarbene Haut, Körper wie der Himmel
Met her through the sister of my man, Big Vince
Kennengelernt durch die Schwester meines Mannes, Big Vince
Like some shit from out the flicks we been in love ever since
Wie ein Film, wir sind seitdem verliebt
She called me her "Chocolate Brotha", I call her my "Sugar Sista"
Sie nannte mich ihren „Schokoladenbruder“, ich nannte sie meine „Zuckerschwester“
Knew shorty could work it since before I ever kissed her
Wusste, dass sie es drauf hat, bevor ich sie überhaupt geküsst habe
I never dissed her, painted my picture to hit
Ich habe sie nie beleidigt, habe mein Bild gemalt, um sie zu treffen
But because sex she wasn't with, she started flippin an' shit
Aber weil sie keinen Sex wollte, fing sie an, sich aufzuregen
Like, "Listen man, I'm Queen Amina, Amina's not no freak and
Wie, „Hör zu, Mann, ich bin Königin Amina, Amina ist keine Schlampe und
That game is weak and keep tryin to hit I could quit speakin'
Dieses Spiel ist schwach und wenn du weiter versuchst, könnte ich aufhören zu sprechen
Tariq in fact, you bein' Black Thought, don't get ya closer
Tariq, du bist Black Thought, das bringt dich nicht näher
I dig ya but won't bone ya because I'm so-called supposed ta
Ich mag dich, aber ich werde nicht mit dir schlafen, weil ich es angeblich soll
Most of them would, but that couldn't be me, that's not my flavor
Die meisten würden es tun, aber das könnte ich nicht, das ist nicht mein Geschmack
Go home and think about that, maybe later on I'll page ya"
Geh nach Hause und denk darüber nach, vielleicht rufe ich dich später an“
I contemplated, and then concluded she was bluffin'
Ich habe nachgedacht und dann beschlossen, dass sie blufft
Steady pursuin' screwin', gettin' nothin' but the silent treatment
Ständig auf Sex aus, bekomme nichts als die stille Behandlung
Girl, you know that you need

Und behandelst mich schweigend, schweigend
Crazy frustration, about my lovin' situation
Verrückte Frustration, über meine Liebessituation
When patience was a virtue, but I wasn't used to waitin'
Geduld war eine Tugend, aber ich war es nicht gewohnt zu warten
I want some Marvin Gaye healin', feelin' is real inside
Ich will etwas Marvin Gaye Heilung, das Gefühl ist echt innen
I slip and slide, my ride'll keep you occupied, I'd
Ich rutsche und gleite, meine Fahrt wird dich beschäftigen, ich würde
Love to get wit it like that, but my baby's kitty cat's capped
Liebend gerne so mit ihr umgehen, aber meine Babys Kitty Cat ist verschlossen
And locked, Love Boat is docked at the shore
Und gesperrt, das Liebesboot liegt am Ufer
And what for? Later for groupies on tour
Und wofür? Später für Groupies auf Tour
Why won't my sugar call me no more?
Warum ruft mein Zucker mich nicht mehr an?
I mean, my Queen gets upset, rejectin' and sexually neglect
Ich meine, meine Königin wird verärgert, ablehnend und sexuell vernachlässigt
Then sayin' I'm more sewer than Das EFX, and closed-minded
Dann sagt sie, ich sei mehr Abwasser als Das EFX, und engstirnig
It's like I'm blinded by the skinnin'
Es ist, als wäre ich geblendet von der Haut
I'm into women because of that, this one's into communication
Ich stehe auf Frauen, deswegen ist diese auf Kommunikation aus
Temptation played the vandal, freakin' my brain, my mind
Die Versuchung spielte den Vandalen, verwirrte mein Gehirn, meinen Verstand
Rippin' the handle on physically scandalous acts
Riss am Griff von physisch skandalösen Handlungen
Yo! She knew what I wanted, but she fronted

Feelings on my mind, desire to intertwine
Gefühle in meinem Kopf, der Wunsch sich zu verflechten
Combine and blend, baby bust a message that I send
Zu vermischen und zu verschmelzen, Baby, nimm die Nachricht, die ich sende
Ain't no need to pretend, 'cause shit is real til the end
Es gibt keinen Grund zu tun, als ob, denn die Scheiße ist echt bis zum Ende
I provide a place to hide from crime, hard times
Ich biete einen Ort zum Verstecken vor Verbrechen, harten Zeiten
And livin' trife, while I open ya mind, you're in my life
Und dem trüben Leben, während ich deinen Verstand öffne, du bist in meinem Leben
Like love, it ain't no way no one can rise above what's real
Wie Liebe, es gibt keinen Weg, dass jemand über das Reale hinaussteigen kann
That's why I'm feelin' like you're makin' me bugged
Deswegen fühle ich mich, als würdest du mich verrückt machen
I puff a L on fifty deuce while I walk in the rain
Ich rauche einen Joint auf der Fünfzigsten, während ich im Regen laufe
Heart feelin' killer pain while I hop the train
Das Herz fühlt tödlichen Schmerz, während ich den Zug nehme
Dial her number to the rest, and ain't no messages left
Wähle ihre Nummer, aber es sind keine Nachrichten hinterlassen
Regardless, my chest thumps from stress, yo it's a mess
Trotzdem, mein Herz schlägt vor Stress, yo, es ist ein Durcheinander
I don't know what I got to do to make you understand
Ich weiß nicht, was ich tun muss, damit du verstehst
I'm for real and that's no question, no frontin' or no guessin'
Ich meine es ernst und das ist keine Frage, kein Vortäuschen oder Raten
Undressin', carressin', in the span, that I contain in my hand
Ausziehen, streicheln, in der Spanne, die ich in meiner Hand halte
Could touch and make you say that I'm such a man
Könnte berühren und dich dazu bringen zu sagen, dass ich so ein Mann bin
And call my name, so let me set your body aflame
Und rufe meinen Namen, also lass mich deinen Körper entflammen
I'll never treat you like a dame or run game
Ich werde dich nie wie eine Dame behandeln oder Spielchen spielen

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'

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"
