Talib Kweli - Peace Of Mind lyrics

[Verse One] Sitting on the stoup watching chicken's fly the coup People troop through the night in groups, I got dice to shoot Way too late to see this youth hanging on the ave Plus my little man's mama just told me he's skipping cla** He on the corner smoking a stog', looking broke and blowed He opened his soul, said he came to a fork in the road "Son, I never seen that look in your eye What's wrong kid?" He reply "What they teaching me in school ain't helping me to live It ain't relevant to me. Word is bond The cla** is so overcrowded they don't even notice when I'm gone." "Hold on shorty you're speeding, take what they got you reading Apply it to your life and give it your own meaning There's nothing out here for you so stop running from school You're only defeating yourself. That's what they want you to do It's that simple." Is what I told him, "No one will hold your hand Count your blessings, not the problems and stay focused man." [Hook] {x2} I haven't seen that look in such a long time I've yet to feel what could become, peace of mind [Verse Two]
