Now of course I want peace on the streets, but realistically   Paintin' perfect pictures ain't never work, my misery was so deep   Couldn't sleep through all my pressures   In my quest for cash, I learned fast      Usin' violent measures, memories of adolescent years   Their was unity, but after puberty we brought war to our community   So many bodies droppin', it's gotta stop   I want to help, but still I'm steppin'   Keepin' my weapon, must protect myself      The promise of a better tomorrow ain't never reach me   Plus my teachers were to petrified in class to teach me   Sippin' Thunder Bird and grape Kool-Aid   Callin' Earl since my stomach was empty   It seduced me to fuck the world      Watch my 'lil homies, lose there childhood to guns   Nobody cries no more, 'cause we all die for fun   So why you ask me if I want peace, if you can't grant it   Niggas fightin' across the whole planet   So we can never be peace      Will there ever be peace?   Or all we all just headed for doom   Still consumed by the beefs   And I know there never be peace   That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets   'Cause there can never be peace      Somebody owes me, will they control me? Nah   I ain't a hater playa, but I want all you got   Your babies have babies, now we fightin' each other   My dogs got rabies, they bitin' each other      'N it ain't hard to find a friend like mine   Big fully is a bully, and he don't mind dyin'   And I gotta be bright, miss sign after sign   Time after time, after time after time      And I don't like nobody, they don't like me more   And I'm cool with that finally,but they heard it before   Dog, we livin' in a prison   Losin' our religion on 'em      Thanks given when thankful just for livin' in hell   Damn homey I don't mean to be harsh   But it's the devil in the ghetto tryin' to tear it apart   And if we make it up out , we still stuck in the dark   Will there ever be peace? Just the peace in my heart, never      The only peace we got   Is the peace in our heart   Or the peace in our mind   Right there in piece that we hold in our waste line   Feel me dog? Cm'on      Will there ever be peace?   Or all we all just headed for doom   Still consumed by the beefs   And I know there never be peace   Thats why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets   'Cause there can never be peace      Things are changin', nigga you better fantasize   I'm only concerned about me and mine in these times   The world is a ghetto where peace is not a part of it   We all goin' need God if we plan to get out of this      Niggas spendin' too much time hatin' on each other   Niggas buyin' guns, load 'em up, aim at each other   And the victim is you and me, the secret is true indeed   The good die, mostly over bullshit, repeatedly      Deep in me there's a part that wants nothin' but love   But the rest of me knows war is what's waitin' for us   So I stays ready, keep my pay heavy and boss up   Stack my funds and my guns, never rely on luck      Askin' God to point out the impostors   Never let no weapon formed against me prosper   'Cause they'll never be peace   So don't rely on it, soldiers die for   And in the ghetto, they tryin' for it, fuck peace      Will there ever be peace?   Or all we all just headed for doom   Still consumed by the beefs   And I know there never be peace   That's why I keep my pistol when I walks the streets   'Cause there can never be peace      Will there ever be peace?   Or all we all just headed for doom   Still consumed by the beefs   And I know there never be peace,   That's why I keep my pistol when I walks the streets   Nigga there'll never be peace      Will there ever be peace?   Or all we all just headed for doom   Still consumed by the beefs   And I know there never be peace,   That's why I keep my pistol when I walks the streets   'Cause there'll never be peace   Will there ever be peace?      Shit, fuck peace   On the strength till my niggas get a piece, we can't have peace   How the fuck we gonna live happy if we ain't got none?   You motherfuckers is smiling, but I'm mean muggin'   Why? 'Cause gotta be thuggin'      I've seen drugs done turned this motherfuckin' hood out   All us niggas actin' up, wild ass motherfuckin' adolescents   These niggas ain't even got no childhoods no more   How the fuck can you have a childhood and you have a funeral   Every motherfuckin' weekend      And you motherfuckers talkin' about peace?   Nigga, it ain't no motherfuckin' peace   You ain't seen the news motherfucker?   You ain't heard? Little babies gettin' smoked      Motherfuckers killin' there whole family   'Lil kids gettin' thrown off buildings   Motherfuckers gettin' abused   Peace? Niggas you out your motherfuckin' mind?      Fuck peace, we can't never have peace   'Till you motherfuckers clean up this mess you made   'Till u fuckin' clean up the dirt you dropped   'Till we get a piece, fuck peace, Westside
