ebonEmpress - Peace Lyrics

Beautiful joy see the twinkle when he first arise
Innocence stole as the world revealed to his eyes
Aim to destroy liberties, our base human rights
Under employed no wonder why he steal to survive
The rent due, he ain't worried bout the best shoes
Target on his chest, he just trying to make the best moves
He his momma's pride, never listen to the ridicule
All that he desire is to find a way to make it through
Hoping for good news but riddled with anxiety
Quality of life got him quietly
Contemplating his station and will his patience really pay off
Just another brother laid off with no cause but wont stop
Dreams of applause fill his nights with bright lights
But still can't see why the hate seem to shape his reality
Always challenging just to exist but this misfit got so much to give

Peace, Peace, Peace
Got a piece of my heart

Off work late another day job with low pay and no say
Body worn from fake smiles and role play
Corporate ties around his neck constrict his clarity
Still saving, paying loans and gives to charity
Two blocks from his home them red and blue lights come on
Deep breath to still his heart but his mind's on his son
Hands on ten and two he'll always fit the descript
Meeting them with calm but wont loosen his grip
Hardened exterior so they don't dominate his space
Claim to be his superior to them another timely case
Heart of a warrior won't show no fear lest be disgraced
But feeling wearier since new days never bring a change
Not amazed by the lack of restraint ain't seen a citizen they can relate
Father, brother, son, last memory is night sticks and choke holds
Part of their ploy, rest in power Beautiful joy

Peace, Peace, Peace
Got a piece of my heart

Don't let me go
Don't let me go too far
