Peace

[Part I]

[Intro: Punch]

Release the fools, my brother

Ooh

Amen

[Chorus: Punch, Punch & Ab-Soul]

I just want peace (Yeah)

I just want peace (Yeah)

I just want peace (Yeah)

Baby, I been taking losses, I don't care how much it costs to stop it

I just want peace (Yeah)

I just want peace (Yeah)

I just want peace (Yeah)

Some think I just wasn't enough, had another throw your three's up

And say I just want peace

(Yeah)

[Verse 1: Ab-Soul]

Say no, say no masochism, the pleasure and pain

What comes to mind is standing in rain

And the pebble out once again

Clean you up without the gain, did it for lovе, not to gain

If the climate change, that's finе by me (Fine by me)

You don't feel the same, that's fine by me (Fine by me)

Can't stay in your lane, you can fly by me (Yuh)

All I need is the vibration high by me (Yuh)

'Til my number's called, I wish this for all of y'all

Sealed, delivered and signed by me (Ayy)

[Chorus: Punch, Punch & Ab-Soul]

I just want peace (Yeah)

I just want peace (Yeah)

I just want peace (Yeah)

Baby, I been taking losses, I don't care how much it costs to stop it

I just want peace (Yeah)

I just want peace (Yeah)

I just want peace (Yeah)

Some think I just wasn't enough, had another throw your threes up

And say I just want peace

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]

On this road made out of bread

Half step to these baguettes, leave concrete pieces behind for my trail

Feel like I fell, I feel like I braille

Skill is my jail, cover the bill with my bail

My wings hold water, they can't deal with my wells

I got my weight up, put stilts on my scale

Milking my grail baguette, that's get bag

Drum clip like Whiplash, that's kick crash, that's symbolic

Art Blakey with the arm lately, that's stick math

Like countdowns on the cell wall, my bandwidth is symphonic

I'll spin sonnets off the top like unpinned comments (Pinned comments)

Haram rhymes over synth sonics are my environment

With epithets of my flowin'

Celebrex can't correct the stress what I'm shoulderin'

On the epaulettes of my clothing

No autotune, but Aaron Neville neck effects all on my poems

That's River Styx, I'm wrathful, but I resurrect with my rowin' (Where we goin'?)

[Outro: Punch]

I just want—

[Part II]

[Verse 1: Ab-Soul]

Rollie on, fuck is you on?

You done cried enough

I know you tired of losin', loosen your tie and tighten up

How many times we been through this, bro? Count it up

How many times they counted us out? You passed algebra

I know you sad and all that, trust me, I get it

But stand tall, you can't fall 'cause they caught me slip—

Yeah, I know, I was lackin', but I still got active

That bitch-ass nigga popped me out of resistance, I kept it Crippin'

They ain't take one chain off my body or one cent

Dark boy, west side forties, I kept it lit

I know you said I should calm it down with all the flaws

I had a Napoleon complex, but I was still a fuckin' boss

I'm speakin' in past tense like I ain't still here

Cussin' your blind ass out, I know you still here

Leave them fuckin' drugs alone, get on your A-game

You gettin' old, it's gettin' cold every day, gang

I'm glad yo' ass was in a cast and not in a casket

You coulda died but you survived, now get yo' cash, bitch

Kiss my nieces for me, practice what you preachin', homie

Cuz, I'm in heaven racin' black sillis with Jesus on gold roads

Get your soul, don't worry 'bout me

Nigga, you know I'm spottie

Keep your third-eye open just like you told me

Book of Soul is deep, but on hood

You know it's at least three sides to every story

If niggas knew better

They would've knew better

[Interlude: Ab-Soul & Punch]

You know niggas don't know no better

Told you niggas, time flies, love fades

So get paid

It's Burger (DoeBurger)

Yeah

[Verse 2: Punch]

Don't be blind to a broken man's dreams

God's blessings don't rest, his face is unclean

That includes the heart, the seed of motivation

The windows to your thoughts

Close your eyes, you'll see better in the dark

That's what we cultivated

We elevated culture, they appropriate it

Yeah, I shed a tear hearing Doe's voice

I pray for peace in the back of the Rolls-Royce

Survivor's guilt grip my soul, I ain't have no choice

Then those tears turned to tears of joy, I rejoiced

The value of suffering is so underrated

God gave His only begotten so we could make it

Still, I got lost and indulged, my fragile soul was tainted

Well acquainted, me and Ms. Pain still hangin'

Yeah, the key is balanced, it ain't peace at all

As above, so below, let the pieces fall (Fall)

The key is balanced, it ain't peace at all (Peace at all)

As above, so below, let the pieces fall

[Outro: Punch]

Yeah

Let the pieces fall

They say God got a sense of humor

You wanna make Him laugh?

Tell Him your plans for the future (Future)
