Marina Esmeralda Rivera - Love & Peace lyrics

[Verse: Byron] Blood type Satan Stuck in the mud, might make it What can the love do to save you from what's to come? Better prepare yourself for the day they betray you, just don't succumb Whether its jealousy or hatred Make no mistake, it's just begun Look at the state of this country We made a mess of it, guess I should just inhale I wish you well, but you just wish I fail See, even the Devil had a halo once And that's made enough of us hate each other to negate the trouble at the end of the road They say it's just a matter of time before time is up United States of America, but ironically they divided us Troops ain't ever coming home, dawg The insatiable lust of our leaders has grown But this tea ain't for me, you know it, dawg [Hook: Byron] Till I meet my maker, love & peace is all I hold Gave the world my heart to break, and it's been weighing on my soul Put my all in everything for you to see you're not alone If you love them, then you'd better let them know Just tell them, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry [Verse: Byron] So what you gotta say to me, huh? That we love playing victim, and there's no such thing as modern day slavery, huh? Racism is dead and gone and the way the cops k** takes bravery, huh? Believe me, I know people thinking the same as you But the 13th Amendment left a loophole wide enough to move a chain gang through I just sobered up, and though it's nothing more than a state of mind and way of life Been able to stay afloat, even through the conflict they invite See, I never saw light but never lost sight Never was able to say it outright But when I say F the Government and cops that run with them They don't ever seem to be contrite You'll never justify these d**hs, black, white, Spanish, I digress Might manage to get away, but it'll eat away at you until you die I guess a first impression doesn't mean much when I'm face down with the blood shed Let me know on your way down, are you up yet? Switch sides, wouldn't y'all be upset? [Hook: Byron] [Verse: Byron] Time and time again I get personal Mention friends that disperse as you start to bend when you're hurting Don't comprehend what they're worth and let's not pretend But you're certain it's not the end if you're working to stop these feelings, reverse it A fire's burning inside But you're not convinced that it's turning the tables for you Cause Rina, I miss you dearly, much more than you'll ever know And Aaliyah, I hope you hear me, I love you; I try to show it Nayzia, you can clearly see why I prefer holding on for longer than usual Memories for a lifetime No ill will to my old friends, that's wasting my time Time I could spend with Jeileen who probably thought I forgot about her Odds are, I'd probably die without her, I won't lie to you [Hook: Byron]
