Lyrics

I got a sound that'll boom and pound
Guaranteed to stop a war
A sound going down that is such a good sound
That soldiers won't fight anymore
A song with a vibe that'll seethe inside
And warm up the coldest hearts
A groove so smooth it'll make the move
And soften the hardest parts
That is such a good sound
And the guitar player lets the guitar play
That is such a good sound
And the guitar player lets the guitar play
If there's a beef, I pour out peace
I pull out my piece and the beef will cease
Soft and warm, for the cold heart streets
A song I'll perform that hits real deep
A song so strong it can never be weak
I spit my piece and when I speak, it's peace
Music tamed the savage beast
Be like Rakeem, just like him, we'll say, "Peace!"
The band's on stage, and they're ready to play
We know we can find some peace one day
The sounds that you hear's so nice to your ear
Have no fear, we will lead the way
The girls and the boys are bringing the noise
They make them good choices wanna be okay
The drummer drops the beat that is rocking the street
And the DJ scratches with no delay
