Lyrics for “Where Do We Go (3Interpretations)”
I got love for every motherfucker born from the first
Until they try to kill my peace then they’ll be under the dirt
I’m one with the Earth, I kill time hating my birth
I write rhymes just to put my pain into the verseUnharnessed aggression, trapped alive, livings my curse
Catch a vibe when another nigga’s thinking the worst
I get live when I think I’m under threat of the hearse
I pop the 9 at the air and hope the heavens’ll burstI’m living in hell, don’t want to be living in jail
Calling up everyone I know try’na make bail
Balance the scales, I want dough, bigger than whales
Larger than four oceans, longer than railsWhy it seems like the whole world hoping I fail
I was raised from the dust, dirt under my nails
I won’t scream when I’m hurt nor when I’m kicking the pail
It might just be my time to die, no longer hungry for mealsWhere do we go we don’t know
We live we die we high and we low
We hot we cold we rise then we fold
We grow but where we go we don’t knowResurrected as a physical being
I’ve been molested mentally by things my eyes couldn’t see
I hardly believe that when I go my mind doesn’t breathe
If I believed in nothing then I wouldn’t hardly be meAwake and I see what life’s like it swings in a breeze
Black and bitter, like strange fruit hanging from trees
But in my dreams I can see the infinite seas
In the nothing that’s between the thoughts that keep us diseasedI write the poetry that keeps me at ease
My genius is locked, I’m still out searching for the right fitting keys
Walking these streets guided by the whispers of leaves
Avoiding the beast hired by the powers that beWhen I cease to sleep I am deceased
When I do rest between sets once again I am released
She didn’t cry, she said I’m finally free
She touched my hand gave a shudder then she died under hospital sheetsWhere do we go we don’t know
We live we die we high and we low
We hot we cold we rise then we fold
We grow but where we go we don’t knowNerve to skin, death within, that’s the eternal track
The seeds grow not knowing of the wisdom they lack
Cause they fail to learn the lessons from past, Or lessons of Math
So they never know to pick a new pathSoul in stale growth what’s keeping you back
In the hood its sneakers and crack not discussing beef with Iraq
It’s not an attack, it’s the circle keeping intact
It’s commercial now they dying over reefer and rapsBut these are the facts, little niggas beefing with gats
Grown men beefing with MAC’s, knives, hands, even with bats
It’s all illusion, please peek through the cracks
Beyond the streetlights police and the traps, I feel trappedThe old hens on the block still pecking for scratch
Everybody needs to just smoke some weed and relax
Spread my surface thin, absorb the sunlight, I bask
I walk with my neck out prepared for the axeCheck the scene, deferred dreams change to undeterred fiends
That light pipes, inhale death, exhale life and blow dreams
So they flee to be pleased, trying to find what it means
But the answer to that question still remains to be seenWhere do we go we don’t know
We live we die we high and we low
We hot we cold we rise then we fold
We grow but where we go we don’t know
About the Song “Where Do We Go”
The song “Where Do We Go” was the result of me trying to find something to do with a bunch of old rhymes. I found three that seemed to say the same sort of thing but in different ways, hence the sub-title “3Interpretations”. It sounds like I’m asking the question, “Where do we go when we die?” and I am asking that. But this song is also about life in general. How it’s lived and how it’s viewed through the eyes of someone(s) that think a bit differently than you do.
The first verse was a really, really old verse I started writing as a late teen. The second verse was somewhat newer at the time. The third verse was ancient, dating back to early high school. I rewrote it all, but kept a lot of the same phrases and rhymes.
I made the beat in FLStudio and did not design it to go with any lyrics. I came up with the chorus before I thought to seek out the old rhymes mentioned above. I wanted somebody to sing or just do stuff in a sing-song voice in the background, but didn’t have anybody to do it…so…well…that’s me you hear making those noises in the background of the chorus.
This song was recorded in the room I call my “office”…so don’t expect studio quality here. This song was originally apart of DaEvolution Mixtape ep.

Gun Speak Lyrics by Silencio Barnes
Act 1 Scene 1: You think I sleep
You breathe you speak some shit to me
Next scene you bleed then cease to be
Your team can preach your history
One scope one beam and a chance to squeeze
One shot to the throat disconnect your scream
Stick a knife to your hopes and dissect your dreams
Turn your life into memories
In a crowd broad day I’ll bang the heat
Down a dark hallway I’ll drag your feet
Through a dark doorway, here have a seat
Then I use my tools to divide your meat
No vest no chest no chance to flee
I’ll leave your thoughts leaking on your jeans
I’ll leave your corpse on a stranger’s feet
And leave your soul on a gentle breeze
The gun speak steel cheeks blow out heat
Turn your brains into lunchmeat all out beef
You turn dinner scrap bleed you cook then eat
Feed you to the beast then digest your meat
Forever gunplay the tech spit any given Sunday
The restless die over money
The reckless die being dummies
Direct hits from the 9 leave em ugly and so unlovely
Ain’t shit sweet or funny, whole clips
From the chamber into your tummy, hold this
Connected like gin and rummy
The best shit since the last time I dicked down your newest bunny
I can leave you bleeding sonny, masked up
I can leave you broke and bummy, tough luck
You a thug when you with your homies, get stuck
Then you change like cutie honey, ya dumb fuck
Where that army you claim as company
A bunch youngins, like plants all they do is stay green and hungry
Like ants with no queen or country
Ya’ll work towards nothing then die underneath the sunbeam
The gun speak steel cheeks blow out heat
Turn your brains into lunchmeat all out beef
You turn dinner scrap bleed you cook then eat
Feed you to the beast then digest your meat
I beg you please stop running your lips
Cause when your lips run the shells come run in your flesh
You don’t want it with this
I’ll leave your mama with a memory and fatherless kids
You’se a no-name nigga
No games hold flames propane spitter
Hoop ride whipper
My bitch by my side with the two 9’s gripped up
I paint a better picture
Colors so vibrant you see it more clearer
My niggas still riding the beef more thicker
Stab it with a fork, watch it bleed done deal him
Watch him real close if he breathe cold kill him
Believe when I say that the green come quicker
I needs me a K that’ll spray whole cliqs up
A beam to your face or the hawk through your liver
Inebriated microphone fiend that delivers
Bar after bar so hot that I shiver
One click of the razor leave you scarred and disfigured
Squeeze clips never wake up you’ll be fondly remembered
The gun speak steel cheeks blow out heat
Turn your brains into lunchmeat all out beef
You turn dinner scrap bleed you cook then eat
Feed you to the beast then digest your meat

About Gun Speak by Silencio Barnes
Like a lot of the songs that make up DaEvolution Mixtape, this one came about as an experiment. I wanted to take these old lyrics (can’t you tell I was young when I wrote this stuff 😉 and a beat that I made myself and put em together. The beat was called the Work Out Beat, because I could imagine doing reps to it :))
This song is pretty ignorant and negative, but, that’s just an indication of where I’m from and where my mind was when I wrote the words. The chorus is the result of an unfinished rhyme I started. When I was going through the old scraps of paper looking for lyrics that all fit the same theme more or less, these are the ones I found. A lot of the lines were incomplete and I added some here and there to fill them out to a proper 16 bars.
As an example…or bonus (if you choose to think of it that way) here are a few of the lyrics that came up but didn’t make the cut when I put the track together back in 07 or 08:
…yea :))
