Peace Is Possible [Live]

Check it out Living in these New York streets will make you weak Watching grown men shrivel and shake while beat No more women with curls, young girls with pearls They all scared walking down the street Another life being taken by the insane ruling nation Praying we forget our peace Pac said they got money for war but can't feed the poor Another lyricist taken from me And my people need freedom, it's a new age, y'all It was all a dream is gone devastation is the mission Incantations keep us harmed and divided singing songs like what "We gone be alright, we gone be alright, we gone be alright" Oh we gone, scratch that Oh, no, shots rain down, another black man is maimed to the ground Whoop, whoop, the sound of the police, kicking your butt for cash It's a new era built on the bones of old folks' bones And it's not for me, it's not me, it's not for me, it's not me, it's not for me We've got sirens ringing out, kids crying out, mothers screaming out It's not for me, it's not for me, it's not for me Even Charles Mingus said, "Oh lord don't let 'em drop that atomic bomb down on me" 'Cause it's not for me, it's not for me Devastation is the new manifestation, a nuclear war crime Nuclear plans in con mans hands, make sure those fools do time 'Cause it's not for me And today in my American skin, we only got one thing to say It's not for me Peace all over the planet for everybody, y'all
