Love, Peace, and Freedom
I'm floating heavy minded over plains of thought
Dreaming of a place where people follow their hearts
Where material lust is a thing of the past
And corporations can't buy a mans soul with cash
And since money bought trouble, it was all burned
Love and respect would make the world turn
People would barter for goods, every hood had peace
In a land full of nourishment so all could eat
Picture no starvation, war between nations
Where every day is a celebration
And it's ok to smile shake hands and hug
Cause to get a record deal you don't have to be a thug
The ski is always clear, no smog and no tears
In the eyes of a child cause she's living' in fear
No guns or bullets, bombs or borders
No secret society, New World Order
Prisons don't exist, cause crime is obsolete
Freedom is real and love rules the streets
Freedom is poetry over a fresh beat
And the sound of life never sounded so sweet
And just to make it complete there are no elite
All people are equal white, yellow, or brown feet
Smile at each other give a pound when they meet
Rather than grief, stress, bullet holes, or loose teeth
Chorus
Say love, L.O.V.E
What about peace, between you and me
And Freedom
Put your hand's in the sky if you believe we can find it tonight
Say love l.o.v.e
What about peace, between you and me
And Freedom
Can this place really exist or am I psychotic
Is this world we live in meant to be chaotic?
Little boys with guns fully loaded and heavy
Trigger finger steady, flesh torn like confetti
Bless those born ready, and wide-awake
Struggling for peace in a cold world of hate, poverty and disease
Enemies await armed in the shadows, each day a battle
Fighting with starvation or self annihilation
Life is full of complications
The media and school system have got your mind imprisoned
Trapped in a box of limited thought and vision
From Pediatrician to Mortician, the struggle is continuous
Just paying the rent takes every last cent
The present quickly turns to past tense
Homicide by drive by or government
They spend billions on bombs but neglect the war on the streets
Where kids commit crimes just to eat
Dying on crippled blocks, where tax money seems to funds
Dirty cops who play god with guns
The schools are left in shambles
Making the future for the planet that we cherish a gamble
My pockets are full of lint but if I had the money
I wouldn't buy diamonds, I'd feed the hungry
Chorus
Which is the road to peace and happiness?
Smiles and sunshine, love and fun times
No more bombs, tanks or gun times
Or minorities placed on the front lines
I dream of these things like a fiend In the night
Holding the mic like a pipe, looking for light
I want to inhale my daughter smile and exhale relief
Knowing that she can live in peace
Sometime tears run down my cheek chasing dreams
Where ghettos turn to gold and sour living turns sweet
Where pain turns to joy, the smiles replace the frowns on every face
Girls and boys know that they have a place
In this world living free from oppression, in a land where complexion
Can mean either life or d**h have and have not
That's why we have got to make a change
For social justice in a nation of deranged men
Greedy for control of your soul
It'll change when we organize and wise up
We've got to join as one and rise up if we really want
Chorus
