Peaceful Journey Lyrics - Peaceful Journey - Heavy D & The Boyz

[Heavy D - Intro] 

Here's to you... 

You have gone through struggles, suffering. 

This one goes out to everybody in the world, but especially on the street level 

Because I know where you comin from and some of the things you do, I can understand 

So through all your travels, I'm wishing you a peaceful journey 

What is a friend for? Through rich and through poor 

Kinda like a marriage balanced on a differnet floor 

A friend could tell you things that he wouldn't tell another 

So in essence, a friend could be considered a brother 

You laugh and you play a lot, you talk and you say a lot 

But when it's time to feel the pain, you cry and you pray a lot 

I'm talkin about you, you who have the time 

A time to be my friend when no one else would be mine 

Problems were nothing because I had my man to share them with 

Hills were nothing neither, cause I had my man to climb 'em with 

I'm really proud to say that I truly really knew you good 

And oh, God's blessing from the entire neighborhood 

And as the days drift, drift into the future 

I laugh a little louder at the times that I was witcha 

This one's for you and I truly hope you hear me 

And through all your travels, I'm wishing you a peaceful journey

You'rrrrrrrre on my miiiiiiiiiiiind (You're on my mind) 

And I wish you a peaceful journey (Peace!) 

Brother I hope you hear me 

[Heavy D] 

In the corner, sits the little girl in tears 

The shadow of a man overwhelms her fears 

"Mommy, mommy, NO!", the words of a battered child 

The wicked, wicked mommy has the sticks swingin buckwild 

"Mister, mister, do you have a dime? 

See, I'm hungry and I'd rather be a begger than do crime" 

Sure - here's your dime, go make a big ten bucks 

Now sneak around the corner, get your joints and go beat him up 

A kid on the streets, doesn't want to be beat 

So he hangs on the block 'til his pop fall asleep 

Missing kids on the milk carton 

A lunatic kills kids for kicks and gets pardoned 

Baby girls run away from home, huh 

And two months later, they're stars on child porn 

Tracks on the arms of a minor 

Suzie ran too, but she'll be dead when they find her 

Kids on the street movin drugs, the thugs' growin up fast 

Wouldn't stop when one gets plunged 

Junior stole a Benz with his friends 

But got caught, now he's doin time with twenties and tens 

For the rest of his life, he learns to lean on the wall 

And prays for the day when his number is called 

This one if for you and I truly hope you heard me 

Through all your travels, I'm wishing you a peaceful journey

Pardon me, mister warden, I'm askin for a pass 

To come for some of my brothers who made mistakes in the pass 

It's really not their fault, you see - times are HARD 

And it was probably difficult for my man to find a job 

Before he was forced, forced to make a living 

By lying, stealing, and eventually killing 

No one was born bad, we're all God's Kids 

So who's to really blame for the wrong that he did? 

And speakin about the law, what are they for? 

To beat us with a stick face down on the floor? 

You preach and you preach that you want crime to stop 

If you want crime to stop, stop hiring crooked cops 

So hear me brother man, hear my plea! 

If you want success all you gotta do is suc-ceed 

Love, life, pain, death 

What else is left on the travels of life's steps? 

In life, we lose, get bumped and bruised 

The road you choose not necessarily a cruise 

You giggle for joy, shed a tear for pain 

There's a lot to lose, and a lot to gain 

Though when you walk on the streets, try to walk on street smarts 

When you see your man down, try to have a little heart 

This one if for you and I truly hope you heard me 

Through all your travels, I'm wishing you a peaceful journey 

[Hook 4X w/ ad-libs and variations] 

[Heavy D] 

Yeah, you're on my mind... 

Peace... 

Hear me now brother 

[K-Ci] 

Stop your killing, stop your killing 

Stop your stealing, stop your stealing 

Stop your killing, stop your killing 

Stop your killiiiii-ehhhhh-eeeeaaasah... 

Huurrrrrrrr... WHOO! 

Take my hand, take my hand 

If you need somebody, you can trust on ME! 

Ha, you can lean on me 

Yes, you can errrr-aaaaahh-yaaahyaah...
