[Songstress] 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)
[Common] Starin´ into the darkness like Marcus Garvey, I´m an artist, respect to the goddess Some say I´m too modest bеcause I´m the hardest On this path to progrеss, 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 their peace, their peace through praise and shoutin´ And some find their peace through pullin´ the shades like Malcolm I found my peace, my peace makin´ these albums, peace

[Black Thought] In dystopian ground zero from xenophobia They love to trope me and misquote me, they even wrote me Out of all accounts other than shoulderin´ small amounts ´Til 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 killin´ me They on the hunt for the blood, 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
