Shad - Peace(demo) lyrics

[Shad] Yeah What if we can't be this perfect genius Thesis deans list virgin jesus Shirt n clean crisp jeans fitted And all straight from the seamstress Seamless persons we all fall to pieces What if peace is something more than appeasement And power rules the world living peacefully is treason Defenceless defeat in allegiance of demons Peace isn't pleasing the people it's a belief in people above profits Profits that speak for peace more often than not reap their fair share of beatings It's not naive in the least it's hard fought And the deepest thought in the peak of our reason is peace [Shad] Just another young lyricist spitting that unserious It's clear that conscious rap is dead we done hearing it Heads filling that trap ‘cause we trap still Trapping only stats still rap about how blacks k** black ‘cause no one wants to hear those facts still That's so 90's that's sending the facts Still no paper in that reel no paper in that mill Half mil plus locked up who want to listen to that? Chill All we want is peace the poor and the rich From the beaches to the streets So we rather hear beats than the sound of the beast Now these comics is prophets see the clown as he weeps Crack jokes crack eggs for a feast Got us all scrambled gotta beat ‘em just to eat And it's not taught which teaches us to repeat The strong cycle of violence now it's harder than peace It's not naive in the least it's hard fought It's the deepest thought in the one thing that we seek It's not just talk when we meet when we greet When we grieve when we leave the last word we speak ( Hope has a cost. Hope is not comfortable or easy. Hope requires personal risk, it is not about the right attitude or peace of mind. Hope is action. Hope is doing something. Hope never makes sense. Hope is weak, unorganized, and absurd. Hope which is always nonviolent exposes in its powerlessness the lies, the fraud, and coercion. Hope posits that people are drawn to the good, by the good. This is the secret to hope's power.)
