hold the peace

(albüm: the book - 2021)

We African
We have had enough
Now we standing up
We arrogant
Fuck the officers
(End sars)
That shot the boys
With no evidence
Was irrelevant
Mr solider man
Why you start to shot
When they off the light
(Something wrong with you)
Your father is a bastard
Hold the peace
Say Just hold the peace
Even actor
Said the shooting
Was a photoshop
Fuck the peace
Come the streets
And then you see
Maybe you stand at ease

The only one we lost and tried to find was we
But they be killing we
We need to end the siege
Hold the peace
Just hold the peace
Don't let this hate discover we
Hold the peace
Just hold the peace

Cus am black
That don't make me a target
Cus my hair is nap
That don't make me a suspect
That don't make me a cooperate
Am trying to hold the peace
Don't let this hate discover me
Cus I got a tat
That don't make me a convict
And when my hood is up
That don't mean am scheming
Just means am dreaming
Don't shoot
Am fighting for a reason
Yeah For freedom

The only one we lost and tried to find was we
But they be killing we
We need to end the siege
Hold the peace
Just hold the peace
Don't let this hate discover we
Hold the peace
Just hold the peace
