Lyrics
Now a lot o y'all got it confused
Y'all think ah
Peace is you're middle and your index apart
But it's really them together
That right there, that unity right there with them fingers together
Is Peace of Mind, Body, Soul
And Peace to the World
Last time I wrote about Peace of Mind
It was Peace for me, but not Peace for Mine
Peace for My People has My Peace intwined
So if My People get to see a Piece of Peace
That Little Piece will give me Peace
Well, just a Piece of Peace for just a Piece of Time
If my People Justice, Equality & Reparations
There'll be Peace for Time
I close my two eyes
I Explore my mind and keep my third eye wide
The Peace I find
Is rare an short lived, just like a hashtag hype
And like a hashtag hype
You all filled the streets and posed with ya signs
You took the knee and screamed about Black Lives
And took a snap or three to get ya insta likes
An now ya back to life
An now ya back to life, but here's the reality
You tío Toms trade Peace for a Salary
The field's gone, but ya whipped for a bag or three
Are we so wrong to work for a jag if we don't free our sons
It ain't like it's slavery
We work for the penny
The pound is a bonus
We ain't slaves
Our employers don't own us
How can we be slaves
How can we be slaves if we collect our pay
Yeah we do what they say
Yeah we grind for the man and we rest to repeat
But we're getting paid
Yeah we're getting paid so we cannot be slaves
But ya mind is in chains
How can ya be free when ya mind is enslaved
Peace, love and prosperity's what my peops wanna see
But how can we live when they're killin my guys in the streets
No justice when the pigs with the gun go free
Put a piece of my mind on this track for my own sanity
Yhyh
I got Peace on my Mind
Set a Piece of this puzzle please
And if Freedom mine free my mind from this captivity
Yhyh
We ain't built for defeat no we're strong like the Docs on my feet
Emotionally, Physically, Mentally
We overcome, defy odds
It's the melanin G
At times
At times we can all lose a piece o mind
We can all feel like we ain't got a piece to find
We can all see an envy others peaceful vibes
We may all feel like we ain't worth a piece o pie
It's sad cause she ain't had a peaceful life
The church made feel like a piece of shite
Because she likes eve, she must be evil right
She went to church to pray and to praise him
She went to save herself from her sinful mind
To free herself from the urges deep inside
The urge to fall in love with another's vibe
Because Adam n Steve is an Abomination
Joanna an Eve is against our nature
We question how the harmless live their lives
As if this whole world is just black and white
An at times
Through your hurt, Through Your Pain
Through your darkest days
At times we can all lose peace o mind
At times
I'll be there, night and day
Let me be your strain
At times we can all lose a piece o mind
At times
This whole world can flip upside down
An I've just been finding my way round
An my feels thrive with sound
But what's that when there's no crowd
Tun up loud
Bad thoughts drown
Then I superhuman on top
My Rhyme will not stop
But motivation does
Been seeking doves
Been seeking love
I was forced within
That's the best thing
But at the back of my mind
At times I'm still waiting
Will my phone ring
With a deal to sign
Or a real nice vibe
Like partners for life
Cause I've been on my own for too too long
And every Queen wants a fam for the throne
And I keep on moving home
So where's the one I own
Cause I keep on working
And I was once certain
Then they close the curtain
Thank god for the real ones who keep me working
That show real love
And know what it does
To keep the vibe thriving
When the storm hit, I know they got my lightning
Peace, love and prosperity's what my peops wanna see
But how can we live when they're killin my guys in the streets
No justice when the pigs with the gun go free
Put a piece of my mind on this track for my own sanity
Yhyh
I got Peace on my Mind
Set a Piece of this puzzle please
And if Freedom mine free my mind from this captivity
Yhyh
We ain't built for defeat no we're strong like the Docs on my feet
Emotionally, Physically, Mentally
We overcome, defy odds
It's the melanin G
At times
At times we can all lose a piece o mind
So if ya feelin like you ain't got a piece to find
When my mind's peak, here have a piece of mine
Let ya mind free, time, have a piece of mine
Let ya soul speak, relax and speak ya mind
When ya feel weak, shoulders, lean on mine
If ya lookin for an Angel, look inside
If ya lookin for a soldier, look back at ya life
Look back at your struggle
Look back at your fight
Now come back and look at the spot where you stand
Now look into your future and tell you, you can
You Can, Ngiyakwazi, Ngiyakwazi
Look into your future and tell you, you can
You Can, Ngiyakwazi, Ngiyakwazi
Now look into the mirror and say it, I can
I Can
I'm a African, so I know I can
Not the average man
That's my state of mind and a understatement
My state of mind is so complicated
The world's on lockdown, people lost slowly went broke then broke down
I can see why peace of mind is a lot now
Peace, love and prosperity's what my peops wanna see
But how can we live when they're killin my guys in the streets
No justice when the pigs with the gun go free
Put a piece of my mind on this track for my own sanity
Yhyh
I got Peace on my Mind
Set a Piece of this puzzle please
And if Freedom mine free my mind from this captivity
Yhyh
We ain't built for defeat no we're strong like the Docs on my feet
Emotionally, Physically, Mentally
We overcome, defy odds
It's the melanin G
You're always gonna want a lil piece of some
Y'kno, A lil piece o land to live on
A lil piece o car to drive
A lil piece o money to spend
Well, what about Peace of Mind
