Artist - somebody didn't hear me |
|
(What'd he say?) |
|
Artist - formerly known as Prince |
|
You gotta get your peace on |
|
Peace, whoa oh |
|
Peace |
|
That's what we're here for |
|
And not to war |
|
When the war upon people of color thru needles |
|
Designed to disease instead of relieve |
|
When it ceases |
|
I'll be a man of peace |
|
(Say what) |
|
When this mask of vendetta |
|
Like tears on the face of Coretta |
|
Roll down and go away |
|
I'll be happier |
|
(Happier) |
|
I'll be a man of peace |
|
Everybody say! |
|
Peace, whoa oh |
|
Peace |
|
That's what we're here for |
|
(That's what we're here for) |
|
And not to war |
|
When the time that we spend |
|
Watching TV depends on |
|
Whether or not it destroy or transcend |
|
Then I won't need |
|
(I won't, I won't) |
|
Won't need a warranty |
|
When the power of the hour is not yours but is ours |
|
And the faces we see reflect all that we be indeed |
|
There'll be a jubilee |
|
Everybody say |
|
Peace, whoa oh |
|
Peace |
|
That's what we're here for |
|
(That's what we're here for) |
|
And not to war |
|
Bass |
|
(Talkin' about freedom) |
|
The rewards that we share will be based on what's fair |
|
And not the curliness or the thick of our hair |
|
Real competition, if you dare! |
|
Music is our middle name |
|
And we don't wanna play your game |
|
So when the mergers you make are with us |
|
And you take a fair slice of the cake |
|
That we bake then you break |
|
That would be real cool |
|
But y'all wanna act like fools! |
|
(What's up with that?) |
|
Can't we all just get along? |
|
And have peace, whoa oh |
|
Peace |
|
That's what we're here for |
|
And not to war |
|
Peace |
|
Peace |
|
Peace, whoa oh |
|
Peace |
|
That's what we're here for |
|
And not to war |
|
In case some of y'all didn't hear it right |
|
I didn't call him, his name wasn't the artist |
|
Artist, Artist |
|
Artist - every syllable must be heard |
|
Artist - formerly known as Prince |
|
You got to get your peace in |
|
Y'all tryin' to start something up in here |
