Artist: The Black Opera f/ 14KT, Rasheeda Ali Album: Libretto: Of King Legend * Song: Peace & War Typed by: @TheBlackOpera @MelloMusicGroup * http://mellomusicgroup.bandcamp.com/album/libretto-of-king-legend-2 Put the Sword down Some days I wish I never wore a Crown and jumped Ship overboard bound But then I think of that Woman and newly Born Child Starin' at Death in the foreground listenin' to War sounds Over here it's Fire Arms shootin' Speedin' cars movin' burglar alarms from lootin' Over there it's Tanks and Missiles it may be different Agendas taught But when they tally up it's a similar End Result Heavy is the head of a Sire It can break YOU like a levy or the pledge of a Liar But it's my responsibility to try to stop the Killin' Spree I'm Fighting for the Righteous not the in between So with Blood on my Blade know it's with Love I have Slain Had to cut through the Vein of what troubles Today So leave the pins stuck in Grenades To the Babies lookin' up here's the Structure we've laid Look, I don't wanna Fight. I just wanna Live I wake up every day like Damn, Something Gotta Give The hunger in my head not like Somali kids YOU can see they ribs and its not inside a fridge Still they keep a Peace of Mind. The heat make me stress And, that ain't overseas. It's right on my block, my crib Next to vacancies where hypes got a pot to pitch They need a Agency to spy like WE Mafia And, WE Hate it so WE sly while WE robbin' ya like Jakes be adding 5 to speedometers Idiots Boxed in. Trynna farewell to welfare Biological Chemicals, Troops killin' for Health Care Sayonara to Biblical Laws since umbilical WE fought a Spiritual War through the Physical Angel of Death on the creep. So WE can't sleep Alive I just Hope WE Rest in Peace when WE Die "I don't wanna Fight. I just wanna Live I wake up every morning like Something Gotta Give Death on the Left. Crime on the Right Will it ever Change? Probably not overnight This World will test YOUR Heart. It'll test YOUR Soul It'll make YOU wanna break down and Lose Control YOU might wanna Fold. YOU might Live in Doubt It's ALL in how YOUR cards dealt and how YOU deal em out Some say its half empty. I say it's half full I know at times Life can be more than a handful Reach for the Sky. WE get everything WE plan for Peace and War all depends on what YOU Stand For."
