[Chorus]

Love, peace

What’s somebody got to do to be free?

Of the violence that we see on TV

I pray for those who have to witness it in 3D

Love, peace

To be honest man that’s all that we need

And I acknowledge that it won’t solve all of our problems

But it gets harder before it gets easy

[Verse 1]

Yo, it’s a cold world, we’re running out of jackets

Other day I met a lady who was sick cause she ain’t have hers

That’s why my guns out, and I ain’t even strapped

Cause I’ve learned to give first and deal with rejection after

I’ll be good man I’m as cold as my casket

It’s only natural given my selfish actions in my past

But now I just throw on a smile and laugh

Give thanks for what I have and raise my half filled glass

[Bridge]

Cause my heart gon’ stop like a car in traffic

And shoot, I want to be happy when that happens

Look back in my mirror and see passions that I’ve passed

How I kicked it with the fam

And how I gave back to the masses

The dreams I used to follow are behind me on the track

I wanna see that I done chased the sun and caught it

Took every ounce of knowledge and gave it up to my offspring

[Verse 2]

Yeah, this is my peace offering

I hope it’s something you play on repeat often

“What you’re doing is great, Mike, I applaud it

But what exactly is your plot on getting this accomplished?”

Well love is more contagious than coughing

You practice what you preach they might believe like agnostics

Just lend me your umbrella, Ms. Poppins

And like an apostrophe I’ll keep it on top of ya’

Help me up and I can hold it down, no anchors here

Taking off until new land is near, yeah

The skies are clear but we don’t have no damn landing gear

I know you’re angry but I caught a hand from our peers

Let’s not fight and turn this anger into hatred

I hope you hear me out and listen to this statement:

We’ll make it if there’s love, life, happiness, and peace

In our minds, hearts, bodies and the streets

[Outro]

No disrespect to any other locations

We share the same pain hidden behind our faces

But pain is natural girl there’s beauty in no makeup

I’ll walk the world in your shoes if you can just undo the laces
