Lakecia Benjamin - Peace Is Possible Lyrics
Official




Check it out
Living in these New York streets will make you weak
Watching grown men shrivel and shake while beat
No more women with curls, young girls with pearls
They all scared walking down the street
Another life being taken by the insane ruling nation
Praying we forget our peace
Pac said they got money for war but can't feed the poor
Another lyricist taken from me
And my people need freedom, it's a new age, y'all
It was all a dream is gone devastation is the mission

Incantations keep us harmed and divided singing songs like what
"We gone be alright, we gone be alright, we gone be alright"
Oh we gone, scratch that
Oh, no, shots rain down, another black man is maimed to the ground
Whoop, whoop, the sound of the police, kicking your butt for cash
It's a new era built on the bones of old folks' bones
And it's not for me, it's not me, it's not for me, it's not me, it's not for me
We've got sirens ringing out, kids crying out, mothers screaming out
It's not for me, it's not for me, it's not for me

Even Charles Mingus said, "Oh lord don't let 'em drop that atomic bomb down on me"
'Cause it's not for me, it's not for me
Devastation is the new manifestation, a nuclear war crime
Nuclear plans in con mans hands, make sure those fools do time
'Cause it's not for me
And today in my American skin, we only got one thing to say
It's not for me
Peace all over the planet for everybody, y'all
