Peace by Gama ZW Lyrics
[Verse 1]
See I grew up in tribalism, Ndebele's like my religion
And sshhh's my opposition cause they run the entire system
So we dip to the neighboring countries hoping that we can live in
A place with no poverty but we die from xenophobic killing
But you can't stay home either cause its tough and full of maselas
Selling dreams in parliament, neither one of us gets the stuff that we needing
That goes for all the tribes living, 06 we was all starving
Except RG Real Gangsta cause the money kept pilling
The family counting them racks, the poor are sleeping in sacks
The pensioners lost their money but they ain't getting it back
It's a fact, when we lack, they selling platinum no plaques
Gucci Grace in Dubai showing that black never crack
Whilst we all stuck at home hating on one another
So no wonder all doors are locked whilst we blaming each other
But don't you see we got the keys, play them like Stevie Wonder
But why bother because we're all to busy hating each other so
[Hook]
Give me peace (You're my sister)
Give me peace (You're my brother)
Give me peace (From the elders)
Let's have peace (For the kids)
[Bridge]
From a small town but we're gonna do it big
Make it better for future generations right where we live
All of me wants unity but to get I gotta give
Make it better for future generations right where we live
[Verse 2]
Tryna live my own hustle, I'm caught up in my own struggle
Like will this music ever sell or will my sadness just double
That's like depression and frustration cause my homies in trouble
Because the herb that we been smoking is illegal no shuffle
And so the Popo set us up when all we need is that freedom
Elevation for the mind and levitation with wisdom
Rasta love meditation, Rasta love the whole nation
But they set s up for dollar and its' always corruption
Road block when you driving, they asking all of these questions
Let's see two fire extinguishers but I know they just gassing
Spot fine why you lying, Roadblack at the robots
Then he's looking for a bribe asking how much I' paying
Should've seen the look up in his eyes, told him I can't pay no bribe
Present time ain't no surprise real eyes realise real lies in the realest time
And no I'm not the realest I'm just a prisoner Lucky Dube is my state of mind
[Hook]
Give me peace (You're my sister)
Give me peace (You're my brother)
Give me peace (From the elders)
Let's have peace (For the kids)
[Bridge]
From a small town but we're gonna do it big
Make it better for future generations right where we live
All of me wants unity but to get I gotta give
Make it better for future generations right where we live
[Verse 3]
My brother just finished Uni but he's been chilling at crib
Steady searching for employment but there's nothing to grip
It's just a trip ain't got connections Parents tossing him lip
A part time waiter whilst he waiting just surviving off tips
So why you need a degree, when you paid all those fees
Ain't no employment employers employing from family
And thats all that it be, and that's all that we see
Egodini by the side pirating some cd's
So how do the artists eat?
Theres no love for Industry
Because (you music is whack)
That don't make you better gee
Probably can't compare us to these first world countries
If we ain't share the peace then there's no goddamn country
I need a peace for all the people in the Ghetto
I need a peace for all the people in the struggle
I need a peace for poverty I might need double
And I need a piece unless you're tryna start some trouble
[Hook]
Give me peace (You're my sister)
Give me peace (You're my brother)
Give me peace (From the elders)
Let's have peace (For the kids)
[Bridge]
From a small town but we're gonna do it big
