E.D.I. Mean - Never B Peace lyrics

[Verse 1: 2Pac] Now of course I want peace on the streets, but realistically Paintin' perfect pictures ain't never worked, my misery Was so deep, couldn't sleep through all my pressures In my quest for cash I learned fast, usin' violent measures Memories of adolescent years, there was unity But after puberty, we brought war to our community So many bodies droppin', it's gotta stop, I wanna help But still I'm steppin', keep my weapon, must protect myself The promise of a better tomorrow ain't never reached me Plus my teachers was too petrified in cla** to teach me Sippin' Thunderbird and grape Kool-Aid, callin' Earl Since my stomach was empty it seduced me to f** the world Watch my lil' homies lose they childhoods to guns Nobody cries no more, ‘cause we all die for fun So why you ask me if I want peace if you can't grant it? n***as fightin' across the whole planet So it could never be peace [Hook: 2Pac] Will there ever be peace, or are we all, just headed for doom? Still consumed by the beast? And I know there'll never be peace That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets ‘Cause there could never be peace [Verse 2: Kastro] Somebody owes me. Will they control me? Not I ain't a hater player, but I want all you got Y'all babies had babies, now we fightin' each other My dawgs got frabies, they bitin' each other And it ain't hard to find a friend like mine Bigfully is a bullet and he don't mind dyin' And I gotta be blind, missed sign after sign Time after time after time after time And I don't like nobody, they don't like me more And I'm good with that finally, but they heard it before Dawg, we livin' in a prison, losin' our religion On Thanksgivin' we thankful, just for livin' in Hell Damn, homie, I don't mean to be harsh But there's a devil in the ghetto tryin' to tear it apart And if we make it up out, we still stuck in the dark Will there ever be peace? Just a piece of my heart. Never! [Interlude: Outlawz] The only peace we got is a piece of our heart, piece of our mind, or that damn piece that we hold in our waistline You feel me, dawg? C'mon, uhh [Middle hook: 2Pac] So will there ever be peace Or are we all just headed for doom? Still consumed by the beast? And I know there'll never be peace (never) That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets ‘Cause there'll never be peace [Verse 3: E.D.I.] Thangs is changin', n***a, you better read the signs I'm only concerned about me and mine in these times The world is a ghetto and peace is not a part of it We all believe God's new plan to make it out of this n***as spendin' too much time hatin' on each other n***as buyin' guns, loadin' 'em up, aimin' at each other And the victim is you and me, it's sick, but it's true indeed The good die, mostly over bullsh**, repeatedly Deep in me there's a part that wants nothing but love But the rest of me know, war is what's waitin' for us So I stays ready, keep my pay heavy and boss up Stack my funds and my guns, never rely on luck Askin' God to point out the impostor Never let no weapon formed against me prosper ‘Cause there'll never be peace, so don't rely on it, soldiers dyin' for it, and in the ghetto, they cryin' for it. But f** peace! [Final hook: 2Pac] Will there ever be peace, or are we all just, headed for doom?still consumed by the beast? And I know there'll never be peace That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets Fool, there'll never be peace Will there ever be peace, or are we all just, headed for doom?still consumed by the beast? And I know there'll never be peace That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets n***a, there'll never be peace Will there ever be peace, or are we all just, headed for doom?still consumed by the beast? And I know there'll never be peace That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets n***a, there'll never be peace Will there ever be peace? [Outro: 2Pac] Will there ever be peace? sh**, f** peace! On the strength 'til my n***as get a piece, we can't have peace How the f** we gon' live happy when we ain't got nothing? You motherf**ers are smilin', but I'm mean muggin' Why? ‘Cause I gotta be thuggin' It seems d** done turned this whole mothaf**in' hood out All us n***as actin' up, wild-a** motherf**in' adolescents These n***as ain't even got no childhoods no more How the f** can you have a childhood And you at the funeral every motherf**in' weekend? Pssh, and you motherf**ers talkin' about peace? n***a, it ain't no motherf**in' peace You ain't seen the news motherf**er? You ain't heard? Lil' babies gettin' smoked, motherf**ers k**in' they whole family Lil' kids gettin' thrown off buildings Motherf**ers gettin' abused Peace? n***a, is you out your f**in' mind? f** peace! We can't never have peace 'til you motherf**ers clean up this mess you made 'Til you f**in' clean up the dirt you dropped 'Til we get a piece, f** peace! Westside
