[Intro]
"And he directed his energy in trying to empower young men and women in the Brownsville area"

[Chorus: Ka + Joi]
Peace peace peace, what I pray for, its what I pray for
When nobody pay they only wage war
Peace peace peace, what I pray for, its what I pray for
When nobody pay they only wage war

[Verse: Ka]
When every move's an L, it's a bad night
Raged, 'cause raised in a cave, like stalagmite
What fed: bust lead or hеad to the lab right
Had type who know the dеal fertile, bag white
Prosper, straighten your posture, no time for guilt
Birthed official, don't skirt the issue, no time is killed
All I had was rags, they was clad in the finest silk
Never mellow bellow from the ghetto, drama built
Head up 'till the weapon shown
Step to those that used it as a stepping stone
Could lay with your lady but it's shady to wreck a home
Be no evil, long as me and people left alone
On man's planning, but chance granted from most high
When Ka grieving, I got even, I ain't gon' cry
If I mark you with a X, you gon' know why
If profitable, don't stop at impossible, go try
I stayed the course during my hardship
Just playing my role, this is God's script
Keep 'em up, never let your guard slip
Still holding on to things I can't part with
Habits of my habitat
Happy I'm here to tell my story, just sad it's fact
They stole my youth, wish I had it back
When dirty getting ticks, never thought what I had was tact
From area people died to rep
That's why I only speak my regional dialect
Earn salute from the troops, can't buy respect
Speaking noise you're either poison or the side effect
Once I'm disgusted, there's no discussion
When I bring the drums out, it's a whole production
Cops I'd have had trust in if raised where there was no corruption
Had to build for the hill, they only show destruction
[Chorus: Ka + Joi]
Peace peace peace, what I pray for, its what I pray for
When nobody pay they only wage war
Peace peace peace, what I pray for, its what I pray for
When nobody pay they only wage war

[Outro]
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace....
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace....
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace....
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace....
