Peace Lyrics

Intro:
Yo, yu can imagine? (Wha?)
Bad man gun a run under discipline (Eeh?)
Ay yo
Man from Tivoli, man from Matthews Lane, man from Dunkirk, man from Southside, man from Grants Pen, man from all bout inuh
Dun with war ting yu know, is all about peace and love
And unity
Well anyway

Verse 1:
Wi see dem loving and shoulder rubbing, nobody bugging
And every man act equal, only God above him
Eye water mek wi eye full
Wi see every man a live like dem a bredda and a big up one anedda
What a joy and what a pleasure, man a help dem bredda up di ladder
Money a run and every man a share the treasure
No man nah seh dem bigger or better or richer
And socialist and labourite a friend, oh what a pretty picture
And wi see every man a try, nah be hitcher
Food a run and every man a eat

Chorus:
A dat we tell you bout peace (Yeah)
Peace is when yu see yu enemy and a the least (Yeah)
Peace is when yu leff yu window open and a sleep (Yeah)
Peace is when you see Tivoli man dem and not even pin deh pon dem and dem a go up West Street, mi mean peace (Yeah)
Peace is when Dudus a bun him chalice up a Zeeks (Yeah)
Peace is when no gun nuh bust fi weeks on top a weeks (Yeah)
Peace is when police dem get a ease and nah fi run like dem a thief because mi gunfire cease, oh yes
Verse 2:
We see dem reasoning, whole evening, a seal the powers
And we see happiness a bloom just like a pretty flowers
All a di barrier pull
We see love a start to take over Jamaica, every inch and every acre
And wi see di undertaker, dem a no longer di moneymaker
Di love it genuine, the man dem a nuh faker
And man from over Jungle gone a Rema fi go check Patrina
JLP area but a socialist colours him inna
And man from South dem deh a Kirk inna dem green merina
Top Range and Nannyville a mix at National Arena
Dun with di hypocrite love and stop be like hyena
We couldn't want dem heart fi cleaner

[Chorus]
Yow wi happy fi di peace (Yeah)
Peace is when yu see yu enemy and a the least (Yeah)
Peace is when all a di big machine dem bury deep (Yeah)
Peace is when you see Tivoli man dem and not even pin deh pon dem and dem a go up West Street, mi mean peace (Yeah)
Peace is when Dudus a bun him chalice up a Zeeks (Yeah)
Peace is when no gun nuh bust fi weeks on top a weeks (Yeah)
Peace is when di gun dem under discipline and any man weh bruk it and get chase and beat, again

[Repeat verse 1]

[Chorus/outro]
We a tell yu bout peace (Yeah)
Peace is when yu see yu enemy and a the least (Yeah)
