[Hook: Rel McCoy]
Tryna earn a little (peace)
All the while try to get my family feast
So my nephews and nieces will love (peace)
And this one is on me
I felt no need to hold a (piece)
I got one from the Lord, it's called integrity
I try to practice what I preach and then I say (peace)
To those who don't get me
[Verse 1: Rely McCoy]
What you need on the journey ahead
I believe no destiny is eternally set
God bless the fork in the road
Silver spoons that just don't get
On my quest for the heart of a servant instead
A little midnight oil
I stay prepped‚ it won't burn in my bed
Purging that dead weight I'm determined to shed
Talk about crushing flesh and that old serpent's head
No regrets‚ it's been said
There's not a whole lot of certainty for certain heads
I first cursed the universe seeing burgundy red
But second thoughts brought me back to my personal pledge
Now deep blues can't splash me off this vertical ledge
I still crush a little bourbon on suburban steps with my brej
Conversing over worldly affects‚ earning respects
Less concerned with earning a check
I made peace with a past I had to learn to accept
[Hook: Rel McCoy]
Tryna earn a little (peace)
All the while try to get my family feast
So my nephews and nieces will love (peace)
And this one is on me
I felt no need to hold a (piece)
I got one from the Lord, it's called integrity
I try to practice what I preach and then I say (peace)
To those who don't get me
[Verse 2: Eternia]
I was in the Word before I wrote this
Every time I open it up
Out of my mouth pours heavy quotas
My heart speaks louder than words
My actions are heard
I pray the way I make ya feel is what's remembered first
I been a villain, been a saint‚ walked it in between
I been a whore to some, I'm sure
But that's not how I'm seen
By the Almighty, I mean
When I am grounded in Him
I got a peace that surpasses all of the "He say"
"She say‚" "They say"
Or maybe not at all
You're only someone if they talk about your downfall
Struggling for relevancy in a world that resonates with war
Pick a side, even pacifists busy keeping score
The floor is just the glass ceiling that now I'm walking on
The box you put me in is far from where I'm coming from
The shape is more like an octagon, or a sphere
I'm an amazon with layers of ecosystems in here
Cultivating peace
