Peace Piece Lyrics - B.o.b.

I tried to take the high road 

Let by gones be by gones 

I tried to take the high road 

But now another life's gone 

What you expect from me? 

To turn the other cheek 

All you bring is war, asking me for peace 

What you expect from me, when all you bring is greed 

All you bring is war, asking me for peace 

But now I gotta piece piece piece 

But now I gotta piece piece piece 

But now I gotta piece piece piece 

But now I gotta piece piece piece 

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, they say let's make America great again 

Except for the slavery and genocide 

When we killed all the natives and steal their tribes 

And the time we denied the women's rights 

Talkin' 'bout great, like the AIDS outbreak 

Like when they brought crack cocaine to the hood 

Like when they brought heroin to the states 

Justice is not on the internet 

Equality don't have a twitter account 

The last words that a man should ever hear 

Should never be "Get on the ground" 

Our culture so misunderstood, it's cloudy up over the hood 

I think about packing my bags and leaving this country for good 

Glock, Glock in my car for your probable 'cause 

'Cause even the law don't follow the law 

Guess it's my fault for being black 

A country built on my people's backs 

Up in first class, yeah my seat is black 

Even when I'm bored and I'm tryna see my past 

Tell me, if you had a chance, would you go back in time to see the past? 

Waitin', waitin', waitin' for reparation 

For the end of segregation 

All we got is a month and a television station 

All they teach is slavery and we celebrate it 

They turn the cheek if we should perish 

But just remember you can't spell America without Eric

I tried to take the high road 

Let by gones be by gones 

I tried to take the high road 

But now another life's gone 

What you expect from me? 

To turn the other cheek 

All you bring is war, asking me for peace 

What you expect from me, when all you bring is greed 

All you bring is war, asking me for peace 

But now I gotta piece piece piece 

But now I gotta piece piece piece 

But now I gotta piece piece piece 

But now I gotta piece piece piece 

Yeah, yeah 

By any means necessary 

Lately two many mommas out here bearing babies 

Really ain't safe 'round here no more 

Scared of the law when they head outdoors 

And will we ever be at peace, man? I ain't sure 

But for now I'm like Malcolm out the window it's simple altercation 

Got these motherfuckers blazin' and I ain't tryna say bye to my kinfolk 

They choke us out like what they need a noose for? 

Gentrify like fuck wherever you go 

Prison walls nowadays big biz 

Give us dope then lock us up to get riches 

Then send us out to a job we can't get 

You had that nigga flipped now you back in the system 

That's a cold game man, aww dog if there's a God pray she listening 

The president don't give a fuck about us 

The government don't give a fuck either 

They talkin' make America great again 

I just wanna save my people 

I just want that 40 acres and mule 

Another promise didn't fall through 

Just a whole lot of propaganda and lying to me and you 

I tried to take the high road 

I tried to take the high road 

Let by gones be by gones 

I tried to take the high road 

But now another life's gone 

What you expect from me? 

To turn the other cheek 

All you bring is war, asking me for peace 

What you expect from me, when all you bring is greed 

All you bring is war, asking me for peace 

But now I gotta piece piece piece 

But now I gotta piece piece piece 

But now I gotta piece piece piece 

But now I gotta piece piece piece 

Yeah, yeah
