Fight for Peace by Joe Con on Awake and Dreaming
Lyrics:
The sides are chosen the lines are drawn/ The wheels are in motion the time has come/
They got the power and the money but it ain't enough/ They want your souls to be sold 'cus they play corrupt/ They're so old and so cold that's what hatred does/ Turning brave young people into patriots/ Turning men into missile launching killing machines/ Making nightmare vision out of American dreams/ Turning our mother's sons into trained marines/ Who turn other son's mother's love songs to screams/ And this war isn't different from all the rest/ Whether it's north against the south or the east and west/ Hungry bullets eat flesh and war is death/ Why can't you open up your eyes and lay your pride to rest/ How many tears drops have fell only time will tell/ How many years lived in fear it's time you asked yourselves/
What's war it's a bitch it's a rich man's game
What's war it's us dying for a crying shame
What's war it's wrath and the path to death
So I'm gonna fight against war 'til there's no war left
What's peace it's a voice and a choice for love
What's peace it's a humble cry from high above
What's peace it's compassion and the path to life
So I'm gonna feed the world peace 'til it sees the light
Imagining sitting with your fams at the evening meal/ Maybe you fold your hands and bow your head or maybe you kneel/ No matter how you call God's name you know that He's real/ Your killing children in the name of God now how does that feel/ You got an army of one they look more like a legion/ You think you work for the sun we come to cast out the demons/ You shouldn't sell democracy or drop bombs to bring freedom/ What about life liberty and the pursuit of an Eden?/ You swore an oath on the Bible for public service/ But your lies and private interests make your promises worthless/ Your war is deception your lies are the weapons/ Bush's America is terror times ten nine eleven's/ As long as I'm alive to choose I won't buy your news/ And God paints with every color not just red white and blue/ And war is wicked but it's not enough to know that it's true/ There is nobody else so ask yourself self what can I do
hook
Choose peace choose love choose life for you children/ In your house on your farm in your government building/ In your heart in your mind in your spirit and soul/ In your mouth on your tongue let the peace be told/ On the mountain on the stage on the streets and roads/ Now the hour is upon us and we need to be bold/ It's the path and the goal let the people behold/ The power of peace to make the pieces a whole/
What's peace one voice one choice for love
What's peace one humble cry from high above
What's peace one compassion one path to life
So we gonna feed the world peace 'til it sees the light (2x)
Songs like this are why hiphop can be taken seriously as a genre.
