Kareem Salama - Generous Peace lyrics

This fool throws wet stones at me, insists on attempts to break my nerve But I hate to respond to the anger and feed the fuel in those ugly words They ask me why I say nothing at all, like I don't have any self-respect I say "Gentleman, I'm like incense. The more you burn me, the more I'm fragrant" And I don't feel the need to act violently, and I don't feel desire to fan the fire You can say what you want about me, but I lace the lines of these times With generous peace There's a thin line between virtue and fear, and it's funny how they appear Both demanding restraint and control and it's enough that I know it's clear That I'm not scared of you; I'm scared of me, and I live by controlling my fool 'Cause you're a fool enough for the both of us, but I still try to find the good in you And I don't feel the need to act violently, and I don't feel desire to fan the fire You can say what you want about me, but I lace the lines of these times With generous peace I know it's hard to listen to the words you just can't stand It's gonna more than a fist to enlighten an ignorant man And don't you see how we fear the patient eyes of a lion? And don't you how we fear those lions in their silence? And I don't feel the need to act violently, and I don't feel desire to fan the fire You can say what you want about me, but I lace the lines of these times With generous peace
