WE NEED PEACE
Unfortunate but this is real
Nice sunny breezy Wednesday morning
Drop my little Princess off at school
Make my way down to the coffee shop
Black owned by the way... beautiful spot
So I enter... there's a caucasian couple in front - in front of me
Matter of fact we just gone call it what it is. it was a white couple
Ohh yeah it's Harlem by the way
So two minutes later - brother man steps in the store
Cashier finally finishes up his order and ask can I help who's next
Brother man sounds off: I'm here to pick up!!!!
I immediately!!! I immediately cut him off
Theirs a line, theirs an order
I repeat: theirs a line, theirs an order
His response: we here for two different things
I immediately wanted to bash his... face in
But instead... I went home and I wrote "We Need Peace"
So it went a little something like this
We need peace
We don't need more street
(Street, Peace)
We need peace
We don't need more Street
Sound like a broken record
Every time we speak
My enemy ain't my enemy
And that's the part that's killing me
Black on black love between men Is our injury
Black on black love between men we need a victory
Remove all toxicity replace it with accountability
We prideful and we know it
We the first to show it
Misguided confuse confrontation with showing boldness
Square up for what?
Grab the strap for what?
I ain't your enemy my brother
My love is up
We need peace
We don't need more street
(Street, Peace, Peace)
We need peace
We don't need more Street
Sound like a broken record
Every time we speak
(Peace)
Please have a little mercy
They dropped us off we hating our diversity
Why??? Ughhhh
Brown paper bag by yo skin you ain't black
Brown paper bag by yo skin you too black
(Ahhh, ahhh)
It's a lot mixed emotions when you in this skin
But if you look deeper enough you'll see that I'm yo kin
Big bro little bro
Won't ever forget my sisters though
This track is for the Men
But the Women we need you more
All we ask is to be our anchor
So we don't drift so far
Cause we only searching for peace
To my brothers, I love y'all
And I know y'all love me back
Let's get better at showing it
Here's a token
