I got no time to be a peaceful man
Lost a piece so fast on the piece we stand
Where’s the peaceful plan on this beastful land?
The sound of the beast, with a piece in hand
No peace of mind, shackled from behind
Pepper spray pieces all up in my eyes
A piece of frustration leaking from my cries
Cause Peace is just a part of an evil lie
Battle every day just to make it back home
The beast and his men just won’t leave me alone
Kings like me, they wanna dethrone
Wanna print my name up, on a headstone
Wanna break my home, with a bad situation?
Poisoning the streets, what’s the motivation?
Create the problem, enforce the regulation
Disconnect the now and the future generations
Who’s gonna answer the door for the kids?
Let them in, make sure they’re fed
Momma gonna make it home to tuck em’ in?
Daddy gonna be home before they go to bed?
How many more of these forceful authorities
Abuse their power on youthful minorities
Why we making up, prison cell majorities?
Number one prospect, quota priority
Hand in a fist and it’s placed on my chest
Another fist in the air, I don’t rest
Hear the truth with every single breath
Words speak through, surviving death
Hand in a fist and it’s placed on my chest
Another fist in the air, I don’t rest
Hear the truth with every single breath
Words speak through, surviving death
I got no time to be a peaceful man
Lost a piece so fast on the piece we stand
Where’s the peaceful plan on this beastful land?
The sound of the beast, with a piece in hand
No peace of mind, shackled from behind
Pepper spray pieces all up in my eyes
A piece of frustration leaking from my cries
Cause Peace is just a part of an evil lie
Song description: This song is about the lack of trust minority groups have with law enforcement authorities and the systemic racism that exists at the highest levels of the judicial system. The entire concept of peace and justice are difficult to understand when the entire colonial system in North America was built by breaking every law known to man.
