Lyrics
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
