Peace By Peace

Lyrics English

I say P-E-A-C-to the-E/ a deed that seems so easy to me
Without the peace we all leave with the beast/ and it'll keep going 'til our seeds are deceased
I'm not you pusherman, but man, I won't push ya/ let's put away the heat and cut the beef like a butcher
It's better to let negativity subside/ if you can swallow a pill, you can swallow your pride
You're vexed 'cause the next man stepped on your shoes/ accidentally, now he's swimming in red pools
And you're in handcuffs getting locked away/ you never turned the other cheek or walked away
You claim that you're hot but you're not today/ now you're cold in the hold as you rot in J-A-I-L
Not the word I wanna spell/ living in hell got you locked up in a cell
It ain't hard to tell, it's easy to say/ say "Peace" with me and let your fingers separate
Don't beef with me, I won't beef with you/ it ain't the word to play but the act to do
Say "P-E-A-C-to the-E"/ it ain't dead, let it spread like the leaves of a tree
Can it be that we're finally free by not fighting? Pick up a mic or start writing

Peace ain't the word to play but the act to do/ so I'ma say "Peace" to you
Peace ain't the word to play but the act to do/ so I'ma say "Peace" to you
Peace ain't the word to play but the act to do/ so I'ma say "Peace" to you
I say "Peace" to you/ if we can't understand let's switch these shoes

I know the ledge so please don't push me/ call me a "Punk", label me a "Pussy"
Words can never hurt me but stones and sticks/ may break my bones if I deal with the bullshit
Why do we choose to look with a mean grill or cut eye/ posing like a tough guy
If you can't fight with words then don't battle/ and don't ever play around with heat you can't handle
I spit about peace instead of the dollar bills/ most emcees won't but this rap scholar will
I'm not trying to kill the vibe like a last call/ I'm just spreading love and peace, not harass y'all
P-E-A-C-to the-E/ squash the beef and toss it deep into the sea
Honestly, I need y'all to follow me/ if you can spell it you can easily live it properly

Peace ain't the word to play but the act to do/ so I'ma say "Peace" to you
Peace ain't the word to play but the act to do/ so I'ma say "Peace" to you
Peace ain't the word to play but the act to do/ so I'ma say "Peace" to you
I say "Peace" to you/ if we can't understand let's switch these shoes
