Peace

Beautiful joy see the twinkle when he first arise Innocence stole as the world revealed to his eyes Aim to destroy liberties, our base human rights Under employed no wonder why he steal to survive The rent due, he ain't worried bout the best shoes Target on his chest, he just trying to make the best moves He his momma's pride, never listen to the ridicule All that he desire is to find a way to make it through Hoping for good news but riddled with anxiety Quality of life got him quietly Contemplating his station and will his patience really pay off Just another brother laid off with no cause but wont stop Dreams of applause fill his nights with bright lights But still can't see why the hate seem to shape his reality Always challenging just to exist but this misfit got so much to give Peace, Peace, Peace Got a piece of my heart Off work late another day job with low pay and no say Body worn from fake smiles and role play Corporate ties around his neck constrict his clarity Still saving, paying loans and gives to charity Two blocks from his home them red and blue lights come on Deep breath to still his heart but his mind's on his son Hands on ten and two he'll always fit the descript Meeting them with calm but wont loosen his grip Hardened exterior so they don't dominate his space Claim to be his superior to them another timely case Heart of a warrior won't show no fear lest be disgraced But feeling wearier since new days never bring a change Not amazed by the lack of restraint ain't seen a citizen they can relate Father, brother, son, last memory is night sticks and choke holds Part of their ploy, rest in power Beautiful joy Peace, Peace, Peace Got a piece of my heart Don't let me go Don't let me go too far
