Verse 1
This is what silence means
This is what silence means
When they walk into your house and sit at your table
Eat your bread and drink your tea
You won’t even know cos you were sleeping
They didn’t wake you from your dreaming
Your dreams were colored in gold
Chorus
They will try and take everything from you
Shout Make some noise
So scream before they take away your voice too
Shout scream make some noise
They will try and take everything from you
Shout scream make some noise
So scream before they take away your voice too
Shout scream make some noise
Verse 2
This is what silence means
Remember, remember
This is what silence means
Remember, remember 7th July
When you’re walking down the street and buy the paper
Turn on the radio watch the news
Do you really see us when were matching into
Clouds that sting for rights we thought we won for kids at home
Do you really see what’s going on
Chorus
They will try and take everything from you
Shout Make some noise
So scream before they take away your voice too
Shout scream make some noise
They will try and take everything from you
Shout scream make some noise
So scream before they take away your voice too
Shout scream make some noise
Verse 3
This is what silence means
Haki yetu
Haki yetu
Kumbka kumbuka saba saba
GSU tear gas town
Sioni sababu machozi na damu
Kuyasahau Oh oh oh
The law does not allow for police brutality
The police are not the judge and jury (Utumishi kwa wote)
They are trying to break your voice
But it is powerful not even their blows can stop us
We are unbwogable
Why is my country so dark ( mulika mwizi)
Did you say you have an eight month old alone at home I was worried for my six year old and I for my 8 year old son
And I for my 13 year old who is a candidate this year
And Bilha does not talk She carries a baby she might lose in her womb (najihurumia kuwa mkenya)
Chorus
They will try and take everything from you
Shout Make some noise
So scream before they take away your voice too
Shout scream make some noise
They will try and take everything from you
Shout scream make some noise
So scream before they take away your voice too
