Piece O' Peace Lyrics - Home - Spearhead

Every million miles ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million miles ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million miles ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million miles ya haffe tek a first step 

I was sick of flippin' channels, and sick of flippin' quarters 

I called my man Zulu, said, "Meet me on the corner" 

Maybe we can check out the clubs in the city 

'Cuz waitin' at the crib can make you feel shitty 

So he hopped into my ride on the squeaky door side and 

We hit the upper room where they keep the funk alive 

The man at the door invited us inside 

He said there isn't any cover if you're keepin' up the vibe 

We took it upstairs to big up the area 

The people in the house was shakin' up their derrier 

Raisin' up their hands and raisin' up their voices 

Tokes was the DJ I was happy with his choices 

Maxin' and mixin' the beats they was fixin' 

My brain like a smoke that was doubly, triply, dope 

The decadence is gone and life may never be the same 

'Cuz when the beat hits, you feel no pain 

So a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me 

A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see 

I said, a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me 

A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see 

I said, a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me 

A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see 

I said, a piece of peace for you, and a piece of peace for me 

But I don't act peaceful if you're not that way to me 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Five O was outside waitin' with their vans 

Hopin' that shit would get outta hand 

So dat they could test their weapons on innocent civilians 

The high tech shit costin' million and millions 

Money should've spent on somethin' for community 

But that's okay because we got the unity 

So fuck the police, we can keep the peace 

We can make love and conquer that disease 

Because nothin' in the world is impossible to me 

I can swim on dry land and run upon the sea 

And nothin' in the world is impossible to me 

You can chop off my legs and I'll land upon my feet 

I turn it over to the spirit and I leave her in charge 

My favorite record sounds like an African head charge 

She'll beat up the beats with and eggbeater, pour em in the batter 

She'll make 'em sound fatter and fatter 

'Cuz food for the soul is the flavor of the music 

And the spice for the brain is the essence of the lyrics 

Well, songs can be delicious and also be nutritious 

You can't pay for culture', it can only be experienced 

Boom! Boom! Boom, well have you ever been experienced? 

So a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me 

A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see 

I said, a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me 

A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see 

I said, a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me 

A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see 

I said, a piece of peace for you, and a piece of peace for me 

But I don't act peaceful if you're not that way to me 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Said if the funk is on time 

Then we call it punctual 

We're matchin' up the footsteps 

Spiritual and functional 

Like Carnivale in Rio 

The Charlie Hunter trio 

Had the groovers groovin' 

And all the movers movin' 

Cuba, Twist, Reminisce and NME 

Graffiti on the street for everyone to see 

Even the elders in the house was havin' fun 

Because we livin' life at the top of our lungs 

It was truly a life celebration that night 

Had the world's greatest time 

We'd never sell the movie rights 

To Morrie Povich or anyone like that 

And anyone who does is really, really whack 

We fish or cut bait and we're not takin' prisoners 

And if you comin' late then you might've missed some a this 

Funky good time we had here in fronta you 

So long, farewell, alveerdersain, adieau to you 

A piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me 

A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see 

I said, a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me 

A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see 

I said, a piece of peace for you, and a piece of peace for me 

A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see 

I said, a piece of peace for you, and a piece of peace for me 

But I don't act peaceful if you're not that way to me 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Say, every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Say, every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step 

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
