The story behind this song
This is just a warning for someone who has a big mouth. I like to keep my chair leaned back and let the room talk first, but don't mistake my stillness for surrender or think quiet is fear.

southern hip hop, hip-hop, rap
Lyrics
Quiet don't mean frightened Peace don't mean harmless I keep my chair leaned back, let the room talk first Boots by the doorway, old scars under work shirts I don't chase every spark, I don't bark at every name Got too much to lose to let a fool pick the flame You read a calm face like a crack in the wall Think I won't answer back, think I won't answer at all I been choosing my words, been refusing that road But you keep tapping the cage like you want what it holds Don't mistake the stillness for surrender Don't press the line just to test my temper I buried that side for a reason Keep pushing and you'll give it a reason You thought I was scared, thought I was weak Till you put your hands where they don't belong to me I tried to stay cool, tried to leave it alone But mess with mine and meet the man I outgrew Quiet ain't fear, peace ain't defeat There's a hard old thunder underneath these feet I don't want that fire, but you keep pulling me through Mess with mine and meet the man I outgrew I don't need a crowd, don't need a blade on display I can feel a bad turn from the look on your face Kept the old me locked beneath a rusted latch You keep kicking at the door, don't complain when it cracks I learned how to walk when the argument rose Let the hard words fall, let the dead leaves blow But family is family, and blood draws a line Cross it one more time, watch the peace unwind Don't mistake the stillness for surrender Don't press the line just to test my temper I buried that side for a reason Keep pushing and you'll give it a reason You thought I was scared, thought I was weak Till you put your hands where they don't belong to me I tried to stay cool, tried to leave it alone But mess with mine and meet the man I outgrew Quiet ain't fear, peace ain't defeat There's a hard old thunder underneath these feet I don't want that fire, but you keep pulling me through Mess with mine and meet the man I outgrew I ain't looking for war, I ain't begging for peace I'm just trying to keep the old wolf asleep But every cheap shove, every line that you cross Makes me remember exactly what quiet cost You thought I was scared, thought I was weak Till you put your hands where they don't belong to me I tried to stay cool, tried to leave it alone But mess with mine and meet the man I outgrew Quiet ain't fear, peace ain't defeat There's a hard old thunder underneath these feet I don't want that fire, but you keep pulling me through Mess with mine and meet the man I outgrew Still waters, hard ground Leave me be, keep yours safe But if you reach for mine You'll learn what quiet was holding
