Peace of the Mind

[Verse 1]
Spacely…I’m out of my mind sometimes
Just need to rewind Take a second, Grab my breath
And exhale all the resentment That’s presented
When I think about the world and the earth…
See…I…Hate it when I see the light outshined
By evil in this life and I try different methods
But the next one fails and now I question If I’m destined
To prevent anything from getting worse…
They say that…Evil thrives when good men stand by
And close their eyes, watch as if their hand’s tied
Priorities to minorities take a back seat
Authorities want conformity and I’m a black sheep
‘Cause I will…Idle no more
The revolution has begun, they can’t silence our roars
Our freedom won’t be ransomed…by no greedy men
Yeah, we see ‘em and please believe this the anthem!…Now put your damn hands up…

[Chorus]x2
I said, put you damn hands up…fists to the sky
Two fingers sign…high, give ‘em a peace of your mind
Peace of the mind with a piece of your mind
Two fingers sign…high…that’s peace of the mind

[Verse 2]
Hate will not be tolerated…rape needs more apologies
The safety of our daughters must be placed above a dollars sake
I mean…the future of two boys
Were ruined by their choice to uproot and then destroy
A defenseless flower for some false sense of power
As the media showers sympathy every hour
And I’m thinking, if only…the parents could’ve raised ‘em
Teachers could’ve maimed them, society could’ve shaped ‘em
Into better human beings, not doing things deemed intolerable…
Between you and me, this movement we dream is possible…
I’m calling out an audible, we need to be responsible
And own up to our mistakes, it’s illogical to keep
Blaming the victims for what they should and what they shouldn’t
‘Cause it is always the perpetrator who could but no, they wouldn’t
Keep they hands off…So we must stand up
And once we stand off…keep our hands up!

[Chorus]x2

[Verse 3]
Ignorance is Bliss…Knowledge is King
They lead toward comfort so we don’t follow our dreams
We just a bunch of Robots…stuck to our programs
With no chance to grow up to be our own when
Those who have a voice speak nothing that’s of volume
And my people who wanna do something don’t know how to
It’s wild; you would think that we could be civil
But the riddle is how big are you really when you try to belittle?
The privilege is blatant…they don’t wanna say it
Cover up the lies but the truth stands naked
Our laws are outdated, drastic changes must be made
Acting color blind on your time is conveniently racist
…But my people stay strong
Despite the verdict, see, what hurt is how they word it
Like we all the same, wrong…we can’t stand our ground
If it was the other way round, there would be no Trayvon

[Chorus]x2
