Peace Be With You Lyrics

You know, you take the concept of living

It's one thing to live, then you try to differentiate living from surviving

And then, then you also got to think about there's some of us that look

They're really zombies, they moving and grooving, but they really have no purpose

You dig what I'm saying

You know

This walk of life, I didn't walk, man

You know, looking at the board, whenever I run into happiness

I'll be very skeptical of happiness

Cuz, you know, happiness for my people is just waking up in the morning

We happy for that

You know, we happy when we see our kids come back in safe

You know what I mean

You know, we happy if we could just make it to our destination on the subway or

Public transportation

You know, we very simple people

You know, we happy with not being hung

We happy with not living inside of a closet

With another human being called the cellmate

I'm just happy being free, even though I know I'm really not free

Yeah, I know, in a sense, I'm still a slave

But my mind is free, if that makes any sense at all

If I was catting, was I crazy

If I was drowning, would you save me

You about to let these people tase me

I see the world spinning backwards, nothing amaze me

Black girls lost, but ain't nobody missing them

I seen two men kissing, nobody dissing them

And I wasn't on a yard, but I still had a vibe like I'm trying to duck the guards

Like I'm trying to duck the guards

Sometimes they hate you like they're getting a reward

To free my mind, step in the booth and I record

Known for overthinking, he had it coming if we left him stinking

When it's a play, there ain't nobody blinking

Life's a bitch

I think my daddy was a trick

You got some Xylex, sell a nigga a Mike Vic

You out already, my nigga

Nice trick

If you don't know how to drive, don't even touch the wheel

I tried to give him the game, steel sharpen steel

I hope that peace be with you, nigga

I hope the devil never get you, nigga

I pray the angels come and get you, nigga

I hope that peace be with you, nigga

I hope the devil never get you, nigga

I pray the angels come and get you, nigga

I pray the angels come and get you, nigga

I pray the angels come and get you, nigga

A lot of rat shit be going down when the cat's not around

How you rep that military, but your stripes wasn't found

How you gangbanging and turf hopping and guns swapping

That ain't what we breed, nigga

That ain't how you lead, nigga

How you go read the play if you can't read, nigga

We shining on each other and we quick to kill our brother

They just hit my little potna'

Now I've been praying for a smother

We should pray for one another

Go and help your patna' mother

That's a lost little homie

treat him like a little brother

Big homie's tripping off shit from way back in the days

So he can't think straight until he back in the cage

Back to Mr. Gilmo, back to being a slave

Back to count time, the day room closed

We took your out time

You trying to escape the madness, you gotta climb

So right before you open a book, open your mind

Everything was in time

On time, wasn't nothing accidental

Ain't nothing coincidental

I hope the peace be with you, nigga

I hope the devil never get you, nigga

I pray the angels come and get you, nigga

Peace be with you, nigga

I hope the devil never get you, nigga

I pray the angels come and get you, nigga

Peace be with you, nigga

I hope the devil never get you, nigga

I pray the angels come and get you, nigga

I pray the angels come and get you, nigga

I pray the angels come and get you, nigga

Stuck in the hood, we glorified the violence

For every man, we lost moment of silence
