Peace Is Not The Word To Play

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Large Professor] (Peace!) Piece of what?! You can't mean P-E-A-C-E 'Cause I've seen people on the streets Shoot the next man and turn around and say, "Peace!" But that's leavin' people in pieces It's not what the meanin' of peace is To me, it means absence of all confusion Not the oozin' and bruisin' that we're oh, so accustomed to Your friend got beef? I'll bust him too! What a brother from a certain way of life explained to me once.. dunce! He didn't realize the fact That he and myself were brothers on the same boat Now, last month he got hemmed up — hmmph, that's all she wrote! So I pick up where she left the exclamation, lookin' for an explanation Little kids think that this is a word That you use to sound down.... and I frown! 'Cause that's what I was told at 8 years old And now I'm tryin' to break the mold So, drop the dominoes! Because I think it's about time that everyone knows! [Verse 2: Large Professor] Peace! But everybody's in terror We're goin' back to the caveman era Where people got killed, without the chance to build Shame how the planet is filled with so many so-called intellects They can't use a word in its proper context Needless to say, I'm vexed.... so what's next?! [Verse 3: Large Professor] Peace! It's not the word to use When at the same time, you've got plans to abuse Folks not on they P's and Q's.... I'll see you in the news! Somebody screwed up the diction You might die lookin' for the right definition 'Cause peace nowadays means gun.... or gotta run! So 30 years from now, we'll wonder how the younger generation got foul! Look at what we teach 'em today Peace is not the word to play! [Outro: Large Professor] A-yo! Corny or not We gotta stop sayin' "Peace!" and not meanin' it, you know what I'm sayin'? Main Source forever, y'all Peace is not the word to play!
