Peace & War Lyrics by David Sweet

2014

[Hook]
I love the peace and I love the war
[Verse 1]
Peace and war it's a love/hate thing
A concept that retains in the brain
It's just a fantasy
It's sad to say, I had to say
That peace is a 9 piece, drugs & getting laid
Nowadays, you see it in their face
Kids of all age, regardless of race
Tryin' to quicken the pace
To go from a deuce to ace, sipping Ace
By the case, just in case
We run outta the L's we face
Exclusive taste, high fashion designs and dates
Lavish lifestyle no average style of fate
For awhile it's great, I'll be wildin' 'til late
In the AM, amen for this mic and tape
Forgive me for all my sins and my soul to take
Cause Lord knows w could all die before we all wake
& as we all wait, always on the same
For a prophet, not for profits but for the game
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Peace and war it's a love/hate thing
A deeper physicality of life and its remains
But it's the main damn reason we can't all maintain
From the greedy motherfuckas in the government scheme
It's just a cover-up thing
We don't need no Maybelline
But maybe it'd be the best, if the best were ignorant
To the people on the top of the pyramids
I'm peering in the midst
With my third eye, indeed it does exist
It's this that separates me from the rest
& lifes a cute bitch when theres make up sex
I couldn't make up this
But i couldn't resist
As I sit, on top of the world, cool'd out with a spliff
& reminisce on innocence
As an inner-city kid, since then, filled with sin
Grabbed a pen, just to cope, 'til the end
As I aim for a Benz, to be in, from my ends
Fuck a friend, never made a million off a making amends
With a man, Amen
Life is only picture perfect in the picture of the lens
Until then, I'm filling in
The feelings I ain't feeling man
For a female who's already feeling her man
Damn-
Peace is just the wife of war
Love is the high end whore, you can't afford for sure
Like that Honda Accord, or that four-door Ford
When you're poor tryna make peace from pieces of the war
[Interlude: Paul McCartney]
Uhm, yeah
It really is part of the whole thing i think
Of being a musician, this idea of....
The mystery of it
You don't quit....
You have to pinch yoursself quit often
Uhm, some of the songs you write you don't know where they come from
You don't know quite how it happens
& theres no amount of training to really teach you how to do it
You're just lucky
[Hook]
