Hey hey, hey hey hey hey 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) Starin' into the darkness like Marcus Garvey, I'm an artist, respect to the goddess Some say I'm too modest because I'm the hardest On this path to progress, 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 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) Say we done lost We say we dey pon the right path Big life only Liberty, freedom You hear me? Tell me what they fightin' for? Tell me what they fightin' for? Tell me what they fightin' for? Tell me what they fightin' for? Tell me what they fightin' for? Hey hey, hey hey hey hey
