Say Peace |
| Say peace, we don’t really want no trouble |
| Tell me, is you down with the struggle? |
| All they really wanna do is cuff you |
| They don’t love you (No) |
| Say peace, we don’t really want no trouble |
| Tell me, is you down with the struggle? |
| All they really wanna do is cuff you |
| They don’t love you (No) |
| Staring into the darkness like Marcus |
| Garvey, I’m an artist, respect to the goddess |
| Some say I’m too modest because I’m the hardest |
| On this path to progress there’s been carnage |
| Regardless, this is a harvest for the world to harness |
| Elder’s dreams, creator’s promise |
| Being free is like paying homage |
| I’ve been on that peace, black Dalai Lama |
| My college was between Stony and Cottage |
| The knowledge I got it because niggas was 'bout it |
| Knew I had to pull it, the bullet or the ballot |
| It’s like the parable of the story of the talents |
| Want my people to get paper with no margin |
| Turning ghettos to gardens like Ron Finley |
| Through stages of life, the world’s my Wembley |
| I MC from the point of entry |
| Of peace, some find it all through their paper routin' |
| And some find their peace, their peace through praise and shoutin' |
| And some find their peace through pulling the shades like Malcom |
| I found my peace, my peace making these albums |
| Say peace, we don’t really want no trouble |
| Tell me, is you down with the struggle? |
| All they really wanna do is cuff you |
| They don’t love you (No) |
| Say peace, we don’t really want no trouble |
| Tell me, is you down with the struggle? |
| All they really wanna do is cuff you |
| They don’t love you (No) |
| In dystopian ground zero from xenophobia |
| They love to trope me and misquote me |
| They even wrote me out of all accounts |
| Other than shouldering small amounts till I called them out |
| I’m what this story is all about |
| My arrival wasn’t willingly, nah |
| But that’s chillingly the truth |
| Now I fear for shots from cops killing me |
| They on the hunt for the blood |
| And we the auxiliary |
| The black power and love |
| I’m all the above above |
| We’ll find peace in the culture I’m responsible to save |
| And every piece of the puzzle, every article, the page |
| I’m at peace in the struggle, I’m awake and not afraid |
| While I’m channeling my energy from particle to wave |
| The peace, like Mandela seated on Robben Island |
| Wise like a prophet arriving from the highlands |
| Look, I’m not here for any kinda problem |
| Keep me out of your gossip column |
| Thank you, I’m calm and tranquil |
| At the time and place too I shine |
| Word to God, I’m divine, and graceful |
| The grind could break you, if you concentrate |
| You could find your faith, where the higher conscious takes you |
| That’s peace |
| Say peace, we don’t really want no trouble |
| Tell me, is you down with the struggle? |
| All they really wanna do is cuff you |
| They don’t love you (No) |
| Say peace, we don’t really want no trouble |
| Tell me, is you down with the struggle? |
| All they really wanna do is cuff you |
| They don’t love you (No) |
| Say we dem loss |
| We say we dey pon the right path |
| Big life only |
| Liberty, freedom |
| Tell me what they fighting for |
| Tell me what they fighting for |
| Tell me what they fighting for |
| Tell me what they fighting for |
| Tell me what they fighting for |
