(peace!) piece of what?
You canand't mean p e a c e
Cause iand've seen people on the streets
Shoot the next man and turn around and say peace
But thatand's leaving people in pieces
Itand's not what the meaning of peace is
To me it means absence of all confusion
Not the oozing and brusing
That weand're all so accumstomed to
Your friend got beef? iand'll bust him too
What a brother from a certain way of life explained to me once, dunce
He didnand't realize the fact that
He and myself were brothers on the same rope
Now last month he got hemmed up, huh, thatand'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 thatand's what i was told at eaight years old
And now iand'm trying to break the mold
So stop the dominoes
Because i think itand's about time that everyone knows
Peace! but everybodyand's in terror
Weand'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 canand't use a word in its proper context
Needless to say iand'm vexed, so whatand's next?
Peace! itand's not the word to use
When at the same time you got the plans to abuse
Folks not on their pand's and qand's
Iand'll see you in the news
Somebody screwed up the diction
You might die looking for the right definition
Cause andquot;peaceandquot; nowadays means andquot;gun,andquot; or andquot;gotta runandquot;
30 years from now weand'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 andquot;peaceandquot; and not meaning it
Know what iand'm saying? main source forever, yand'all
Peace is not the word to play
