| You can’t mean P-E-A-C-E
|
| Cause I’ve seen people on the streets
|
| Shoot the next man and turn around and say peace
|
| But that’s leaving people in pieces
|
| It’s not what the meaning of peace is
|
| To me it means absence of all confusion
|
| Not the oozing and brusing
|
| That we’re all so accumstomed to
|
| Your friend got beef? |
| I’ll bust him too
|
| What a brother from a certain way of life explained to me once, dunce
|
| He didn’t realize the fact that
|
| He and myself were brothers on the same rope
|
| Now last month he got hemmed up, huh, that’s all she wrote
|
| So I can get up where she left the exclamation
|
| Looking for an explanation
|
| Little kids think that peace is a word that you use to sound down
|
| And I frown
|
| Cause that’s what I was told at eaight years old
|
| And now I’m trying to break the mold
|
| So stop the dominoes
|
| Because I think it’s about time that everyone knows
|
| Peace! |
| But everybody’s in terror
|
| We’re going back to the caveman era
|
| Where people got killed, without the chance to build
|
| Shame how the plane is filled
|
| With so many so-called intellects
|
| That can’t use a word in its proper context
|
| Needless to say I’m vexed, so what’s next?
|
| Peace! |
| It’s not the word to use
|
| When at the same time you got the plans to abuse
|
| Folks not on their P’s and Q’s
|
| I’ll see you in the news
|
| Somebody screwed up the diction
|
| You might die looking for the right definition
|
| Cause «peace» nowadays means «gun,» or «gotta run»
|
| 30 years from now we’ll wonder how the younger generation got foul
|
| Look at what we teach them today
|
| Peace is not the word to play
|
| Ayo, corny or not, we gotta stop saying «peace» and not meaning it
|
| Know what I’m saying? |
| Main Source forever, y’all
|
| Peace is not the word to play |
