Im hearing voices in my mind
Telling me to grab the 9
Run up on him quick
And put it to his spine
Im out here struggling
Trying to get myself a plate
Barely eating out of state
Homey grab me an 1/8
Trying to escape
Feeling lost in this hell
Can you relate to getting
Tossed in a cell
Without a dime
A lot of times
We turn to crime
Feeling desperate and broke
When all we need
Is a lot less stress
And some hope
So where's the peace
And can I get me a slice
You aint never been successful
Wanna give me advice
No looking back
Im cooking raps on the couch
Feeling down
Cuz I know i'm better
Than 1/2 that's out
Getting heard
I'm giving words
For a couple of reasons
1st the therapy it provides
My mind when the seasons
Fluctuate
Plus you ate it
When I fed ya open mouths
Me joke around
I never do
Slow that down
I told you pal
We not a town
It's the city
Go Ill
Flow filled the void
Them boys is road kill
Hold still with that hate homey
Pause that doubt
Lemme show you
What I'm talking about
I show and prove
Knowing dues gotta be paid
I humbly grind
Thanking God for beautiful souls
On this ugly climb
I know the beast wont cease
Straight devouring the streets
But still
I gotta ask yal
Where's the peace
Where's the peace
I wanna see it in the sky
Where's the peace
Go 'head
Put it in the sky
Tell me where it is
The love
We all want peace and love
Tell me
Now tell me what it look like
When we're locked up again
Locked up again
Prison, parole, pen
Sending men to their death
I wish it would all end
But brothers in hell
Wish for ice water and gin
Spend the 1st lil cash we get
On spinning rims
That's reflective of a life
We running in place with
Chasing incarceration
With a knife like Jason
Pretend like this justice system
Aint racist
I was stopped
For going "blrrrrt" to a cop
I was clean but got locked
Cuz the copper was hot
Said he was at a traffic stop
And I disrupted the scene
But I know he messed with me
Cuz I was a young
B-R-O-W-N
They trouble you man
And make it real tough
For you to hug with ya kin
Cuz they like that
When they control
A brother's liberty
They break that same brother down
Physically and mentally
Now
I aint saying I aint in control
Of my own
Cuz I know, I know
I know I gotta act grown
And not give 'em the chance
To lock and throw away the key
Cuz freedom aint free
It costs a pretty penny g
Tell me where it is
The love
We all want peace and love
Tell me
Where's the peace
I wanna see it in the sky
Where's the peace
Go 'head
Put it in the sky
