Peace

Artist... somebody didn't hear me (What'd he say?)

Artist formerly known as Prince

U gotta get your peace in

CHORUS:

Peace, whoa oh

Peace: that's what we're here 4

And not 2 war

When the war upon people of color through needles

Designed 2 disease instead of relieve

When it ceases, I'll be a man of peace (Say it)

(What?)

When this mask of vendetta

Like tears on the face of Coretta

Roll down and go away

I'll be happier (Happier)

I'll be a man of peace

Everybody say...

CHORUS

(That's what we're here 4)

When the time that we spend watching TV depends

On whether or not it destroys or transcends

Then I won't need, (I won't, I won't) won't need a warranty

When the power of the hour is not yours but is ours

And the faces that we see reflect all that would be

Indeed, there'll be a jubilee

Whoa oh

Everybody say...

CHORUS

(That's what we're here 4)

Bass!

(Tell me about the bass, Larry)

The rewards that we share will be based on what's fair

And not the curliness, huh, or the thick of our hair

Real competition, if U dare!

Music is our middle name

And we don't wanna play your game

So when the mergers U make

Are with us and U take a fair slice of the cake

That we bake then U break

That'll would be real cool

But y'all wanna act like fools (What's up with that?)

Can't we all just get along?

And have...

CHORUS

Peace {x2}

CHORUS

In case some of y'all didn't hear..head it right

I didn't call him, his name wasn't The Artist

Artist, Artist

I said, Artist - every syllable must be heard (That's good)

Artist - formerly known as Prince

U got 2 get your peace in

Y'all tryin' 2 start somethin' up in here

That's enough (Oh God!)
