PEACE The Joy Freestyle by Khama (US) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm the lost griot
Lady liberty's husband's fear
Beat downs, domestic abuse, foreign affairs
Formative years, pleasant dreams, scented leaves
Damp laundry hanging on clotheslines
We washed 'em in sinks
No drama was deep enough to drown us
We tried to wear the sacrifice with which our mother crowned us
Come from the town where we out-of-towners
Money talk, like fountains, wish niggas would
Now it's buck fifty 'bout where they mouth is
I was learning lessons on the еlemental pressurеs
And remnants of the stellar dust that tells us what our flesh is
Right up there on Wilcrest, '95, first grade
Learning 'bout the salt of the earth that sprinkled in Spice Lane
Narrow is the road to salvation the grace given
Fellowship the ways of the world and my place in it
The building or foundations, the patience and space of mind
Cause anything that matters is validated by time
Be at peace
[Hook]
Peace is when you ain't fearing death when you sleep
Peace is when your bathroom cabinets ain't deep
Peace is when your fam and your baby mama link
Peace is when a noose ain't tied to your beliefs
Peace is when you don't see demons when you blink
Peace is when you know your bro gone, but ain't deceased
Peace is when your bathroom cabinets ain't deep
Peace is when a noose ain't tied to your beliefs
Peace is when you ain't fearing death when you sleep
Peace is when your bathroom cabinets ain't deep
[Verse 2]
I'm tired of reruns of the past
Sitting through the last episode before I go off
Tablets likes Zoloft
I'm half asleep, sea waves crash across the hull
Call the captain for the roll call, and DOD activated cost guard
The carrier, it's ferried by's lost
My flow come with arm sanctions through maritime law
And ship jumpers
The rift ruptures splits and lifts upwards
Large driftwood out the brig, the hit took out big chunks of
I wake up
Sure to live the same predicament
The voice is strange, the style is infinite, the name mysterious
The age and period of Khama like Splice
Hereditary, genetic variations, carry the blessings of life
Its formless 'til it's revealed
Yet enormous 'til you conceal it
Get twisted like Jacob's Ladder found sprawled through my double helix
I feel it, getting nearer
Introspection my spirit reflects him
But when He speaks, it don't happen in front of mirrors
I need peace
[Hook]
Peace is when you ain't fearing death when you sleep
Peace is when your bathroom cabinets ain't deep
Peace is when your fam and your baby mama link
Peace is when a noose ain't tied to your beliefs
Peace is when you don't see demons when you blink
Peace is when you know your bro gone, but ain't deceased
Peace is when your bathroom cabinets ain't deep
Peace is when a noose ain't tied to your beliefs
I'm the lost griot
Lady liberty's husband's fear
Beat downs, domestic abuse, foreign affairs
Formative years, pleasant dreams, scented leaves
