Peace

V1 - What if we cant Be this perfect, genius Thesis, dean's list Virgin, jesus Shirt and clean crisp Jeans fitted And all straight from The seamstress Seamless persons We all fall to pieces What if peace is Smthg more than Appeasement? If power rules the world, Living peacefully is treason Defenceless defeating the legions of demons Peace isn't pleasing the ppl It's a belief in people above profits Prophets that speak for peace More often than not Reap their fair share of the beatings It's not naive in the least It's hard fought and The deepest thought And the peak of our reason It's peace V2 - Just another young lyricist Spittin that unserious It's clear that conscious rap Is dead We done hearing it Heads feeling that trap Cuz we trapped still Trapping Only the stats still rappin Bout how blacks kill black Cuz no one wanna hear those facts still Thats so 90's Thats sending a fax still No paper in that reel/real No paper in that mill Half mill plus locked up Who wanna listen to that? Chill... All we want is peace The poor and the rich From the beaches to the streets So we'd rather hear beats Than the sound of the beast Now these comics is prophets See the clown as he weeps Crack jokes, crack eggs For a feast Got us all scrambled: Gotta beat em just to eat And it's not taught Which teaches to repeat This strong strange cycle violence Now whats harder than peace It's not naive in the least It's hard fought Its the deepest thought And the one thing we seek It's not just talk When we meet When we greet When we grieve When we leave The last word We speak Chris hedges: Hope has a cost Hope is not comfortable or easy Hope requires personal risk It is not about the right attitude or peace of mind Hope is action Hope is doing smthg Hope never makes sense Hope is weak, unorganized and absurd Hope which is always non-violent Exposes in it's powerlessness the lies, fraud, and coercion (of the state) Hope posits that ppl are drawn to the good by the good This is the secret of hope's power Hope does not separate us from them Hope sees in our enemy our own face?
