Peace Is Not The Word To Play

(Peace!)

Piece of what?!

You can't mean P-E-A-C-E

'Cause I've seen people on the streets

Shoot the next man and turn around and say, "Peace!"

But that's leavin' people in pieces

It's not what the meanin' of peace is

To me, it means absence of all confusion

Not the oozin' and bruisin' that we're oh, so accustomed to

Your friend got beef? I'll bust him too!

What a brother from a certain way of life explained to me once.. dunce!

He didn't realize the fact

That he and myself were brothers on the same boat

Now, last month he got hemmed up — hmmph, that's all she wrote!

So I pick up where she left the exclamation, lookin' for an explanation

Little kids think that this is a word

That you use to sound down.... and I frown!

'Cause that's what I was told at 8 years old

And now I'm tryin' to break the mold

So, drop the dominoes!

Because I think it's about time that everyone knows!

Peace! But everybody's in terror

We're goin' back to the caveman era

Where people got killed, without the chance to build

Shame how the planet is filled with so many so-called intellects

They can't use a word in its proper context

Needless to say, I'm vexed.... so what's next?!

Peace! It's not the word to use

When at the same time, you've got plans to abuse

Folks not on they P's and Q's.... I'll see you in the news!

Somebody screwed up the diction

You might die lookin' for the right definition

'Cause peace nowadays means gun.... or gotta run!

So 30 years from now, we'll wonder how the younger generation got foul!

Look at what we teach 'em today

Peace is not the word to play!

A-yo! Corny or not

We gotta stop sayin' "Peace!" and not meanin' it, you know what I'm sayin'?

Main Source forever, y'all

Peace is not the word to play!
