As an MC, spoken word artist, and poet Noyz uses his music to express the emotion within us which never reaches the surface, which we allow to build without release. “Speak Now” is a reaction to the consequences of being strong for too long.
“Sometimes it’s the words that we don’t say that we end up regretting the most,” says Noyz about the track.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Gain the world and lose your soul
Trying to see what the future holds but looking back to check if the future’s closed
Knew the road that I walk is often a lonely one
Younger feeling in awkward in solitude, though it so becomes a lifeline
And more essential as I grow with age
Finding peace in the silence deeper below the days
Me and Magic would rhyme and keep up the flow to raise hell when we blow the stage
You know the praise is all coming from heart
Summon the spark, fan the fire, plan empires, call you my brother above the art
Live parallels as well, we’re both raising nieces
And both found queens, somebody mama could meet with
Don’t hide when I’m at my weakest, I showed her that side
For the hardships, no man would have shoulders that wide
Told her that’s why, it’s known but now I’ve gotta say it
That it’s because of y’all I found my way in
[Chorus]
For the times when I should have said the words they deserve to hear
And for the times that the feeling was more than what we’re feeling to share
But this is for the time that we’re given
Find that it’s never too long before the given is gone
So I’ve got to speak now, and I speak now
Say the words, give them life, they deserve to hear it so live it right
[Verse 2]
Bit my tongue a thousand times,
Didn’t know how to find the words to let you know that you were out of line
Doubt I’m blind
Saw my sister leave with the kids and the bags packed
But you’re collapsed up in the crib, too drunken to glance back
I loved you like an older brother, so she’d never blow your cover
Never spoke of your other side, hoped we won’t discover
So it’s tougher because she suffered alone
Kept appearances of parents, but this wasn’t a home
Played the mother and the father figure
Hard to picture how we never heard a sound as you drowned in the darkest liquor
She said she needs a partner with her
Felt safe in the storm and made it the norm, crazy how head and heart can differ
And I know you’re hurting because nobody’s walking with you
But you talk as if only you can be thought the victor
And there’s no winners
So either rebuild, or let her go, but know it needs to be real
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Cried when my grandma passed, the ash scattered
We last chatted about her childhood and laughed,
Bad as it seemed to see her weaken on a hospital bed,
Those are moments that I cherish, giving solace instead
Because I really got to know her just talking, combing her hair
She knew that death was calling, no stalling, go with a prayer
But never dreamed she’d leave in summer
Saw my grandfather weeping, he would then fall asleep in the deepest slumber
8 months later, but shed no tears
Dead those fears, a story that I read so clear
It’s just the universe at work
Didn’t understand it, feeling disenchanted
But had to shift to a different vantage
Because life is made of give and take,
Interplay of high and low
Work and rest, birth and death,
Learn then it’s your time to go
So for every meal and minute that they gave us,
We’re better for having their hands to raise us
[Chorus]
