Main Source - Peace Is Not The Word To Play (Remix) lyrics

rate me

(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 leaving people in pieces

It's not what the meaning of peace is

To me it means absence of all confusion

Not the oozing and brusing

That we're all so accumstomed 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 rope

Now last month he got hemmed up, huh, that's all she wrote

So I can get up where she left the exclamation

Looking for an explanation

Little kids think that peace is a word that you use to sound down

And I frown

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

And now I'm trying to break the mold

So stop the dominoes

Because I think it's about time that everyone knows

Peace! But everybody's in terror

We're going back to the caveman era

Where people got killed, without the chance to build

Shame how the plane is filled

With so many so-called intellects

That 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 got the plans to abuse

Folks not on their P's and Q's

I'll see you in the news

Somebody screwed up the diction

You might die looking for the right definition

Cause "peace" nowadays means "gun," or "gotta run"

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

Look at what we teach them today

Peace is not the word to play

Ayo, corny or not, we gotta stop saying "peace" and not meaning it

Know what I'm saying? Main Source forever, y'all

Peace is not the word to play
