Signkid - She Said

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/2068216
verse 1
My siblings bought
Some tapes in the 00s
There were no music
Lyrics for each track
They even bought c.d.s
From their idols
I discovered there were
Lyrics on the back

I kept tapping on
My siblings' shoulders
What was the name
Of the song and artist?
They said names i knew
Not hearing the lyrics
That beat sounded familiar
And came through the hardest

I heard good music, no lyrics
So the song’s blocked
From tv, i imitated
M.j.'s moonwalk
I needed to know the lyrics;
Thеy gave me a shock
Words kill me softly
Likе lauryn on my block
I wanted to be like artists
Back in the day
Smooth talk their way
Dress their way, act their way
Impress girls
Fresh swag and play
And now, music with lyrics
I got to partake

chorus 1
That shorty whispered in my ear above the roar
I said to her. i can't hear the words for sure
She thought i was fake deaf, but what for?
I still feel the music through my body on the floor
She said some hearing people move off the beat
Off the rhythm on the floor, i never knew; i admit
We danced rhythm in sync; others didn't do it
She didn't care that i was deaf; she loved it

verse 2
There was better access
In the 20-teens
Sign rap, cooking beats
Feeling the beat through the table
The rose that grew
From concrete did my writing
Now, i introduced
Sign slang and viewable
You struggle to hear
Foreign words or mumbles
Turn on lyrics, shazam
Subtitles, and captions
I make music to be seen
And heard in one
Deaf culture evolutionary
Music conception

It makes my life
More understandable
I’ve missed so much meaning
As i’ve gone along
Most artists sampled
Beethoven's songs.
Music is universal;
Deaf music belongs

You say slang; we say
Sign slang: less formal
Sign language isn't gang signs;
It’s universal
I sign a silent movie
Like hardy and laurel
If they speak, like mourinho
They’ll be in trouble

chorus 1
That shorty whispered in my ear above the roar
I said to her. i can't hear the words for sure
She thought i was fake deaf, but what for?
I still feel the music through my body on the floor
She said some hearing people move off the beat
Off the rhythm on the floor, i never knew; i admit
We danced rhythm in sync; others didn't do it
She didn't care that i was deaf; she loved it
