[Black Thought, Common, PJ - Say Peace lyrics]
Hey, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey!
Say peace, we don't really want no trouble
Tell me, is you down with the struggle?
All they really wanna do is cuff ya
They don't love ya
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
Starin' into the darkness like Marcus
Garvey, I'm an artist, respect to the goddess
Somе say I'm too modest
Because I'm thе 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
Bein' free is like payin' 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
Turnin' ghettos to gardens like Ron Finley
Through stages of life
The world's my Wembley
I emcee, from the point of entry
Of peace some find it all
Through their paper routin'
And some find they peace
They peace through praise and shoutin'
And some find they peace through
Pullin' the shades like Malcolm
I found my peace, my
Peace makin' these albums, 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
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
In dystopia, ground zero from xenophobia
They love to trope me or misquote me
They even wrote me out of all accounts other
Than shoulderin' small amounts
'Til I called them out
I'm what the story is all about
My arrival wasn't willingly, nah
But that's chillingly the truth
Now I fear from shots from cops killin' me
They on the hunt for the plug
And we the auxiliary
The Black power and love, I'm all the 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 channelin' my energy
From particle to wave the peace
Like Mandela seated on Robben Island
Wise like a prophet arrivin'
From the highlands
Look, I'm not here for any kind of 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
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
Say we done lost
We say we dey pon the right path
Big life only liberty, freedom, you hear me?
Tell me what they fightin' for?
Tell me what they fightin' for?
Tell me what they fightin' for?
Tell me what they fightin' for?
Tell me what, what they fightin' for?
Say peace, we don't really want no trouble
Tell me, is you down with the struggle?
All they really wanna do is cuff ya
They don't love ya
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
