Mic Flo - Peace? Lyrics

Yea
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was peace
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was peace
All I ever wanted’s to be considered equal
But just existing makes me considered lethal
& you can’t run from all the deliberate evil
Where the hell did Dr. King’s considerate dream go
Buried on a whim like the men with the darker skin
Brutally aware of my complexion where I’m walking in
Our cultures at war so more hate is flocking in
What are we fighting for there is no stopping them or blocking them
All this ignorance they’re locked within
They’re only satisfied if we can’t breathe or talk again
So now we’re locked within United States of Hate
Surrounded by those that think Jim Crow made us great
How do you find peace where nothing seems fair
& you’re constantly confronted with violent scenes where
You’re murdered by those supposed to serve or at least protect
Equal? My right to live you can at least respect
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was peace
But I’m feeling hunted
Hate we won’t confront it
& I feel I don’t matter in the least
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was peace
But I feel in danger
By a world filled with anger
& the violence that seems to never cease
I’d always hear no justice no peace
So how you find peace when injustice don’t cease
The long arm of the law trust it’s gon’ reach
Out with violence to keep us silent & thrust us on leash
So I don’t trust no police & I don’t trust most white people
I disgust the pres chump that’s corrupt & so evil
Nothing’s so peaceful! How can I sit with that?
Even after Rosa parked we still sit in back
So I’m not sitting back. Man I’m standing tall
That’s rebellion in a land where they’ve planned your fall
But to be honest, I can’t withstand it all
I’m tired & uninspired & I can’t recall
What it really means to feel at home
Cuz I’ve achieved my dreams and yet I still feel alone
So now I look within to begin to build my throne
Cuz I’m a king that finds peace in the skills I’ve honed
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was peace
But I’m feeling hunted
Hate we won’t confront it
& I feel I don’t matter in the least
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was peace
But I feel in danger
By a world filled with anger
& the violence that seems to never cease
To exist is to resist to persist will conflict
With the sick rhetoric that our life isn’t s——
Man your life means more than you’ll ever know
I said it cuz no one else will tell you so
You’re not a failure cuz the world has failed to grow
Fight for better whenever the world tells you no
Cuz they can’t & won't even try to comprehend
What it means to be a being with darker skin
So hold your head high wherever you're walking in
& deny the people that try to condescend
You’re not less than, you’re not inferior
You’re superior to those who judge by your exterior
That’s why they’re fearing you cuz they know it’s true
They’re insecurity awakes when they notice you
So don’t look to them when you feel you need a win
You’re a king all you need is peace within
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was peace
But I’m feeling hunted
Hate we won’t confront it
& I feel I don’t matter in the least
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was peace
But I feel in danger
By a world filled with anger
& the violence that seems to never cease
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was peace
Doubts I have confronted
Doubts I have confronted
Doubts I have confronted then beast
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was peace
So I keep it one hunnid
Keep it one hunnid
Keep it one hunnid on these beats

Yea
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was peace
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was peace
All I ever wanted’s to be considered equal
But just existing makes me considered lethal
