Artist - somebody didn't hear me

(What'd he say?)

Artist - formerly known as Prince

You gotta get your peace on

Peace, whoa oh

Peace

That's what we're here for

And not to war



When the war upon people of color thru needles

Designed to disease instead of relieve

When it ceases

I'll be a man of peace

(Say what)

When this mask of vendetta

Like tears on the face of Coretta

Roll down and go away

I'll be happier

(Happier)

I'll be a man of peace



Everybody say!

Peace, whoa oh

Peace

That's what we're here for

(That's what we're here for)

And not to war



When the time that we spend

Watching TV depends on

Whether or not it destroy or transcend

Then I won't need

(I won't, I won't)

Won't need a warranty

When the power of the hour is not yours but is ours

And the faces we see reflect all that we be indeed

There'll be a jubilee



Everybody say

Peace, whoa oh

Peace

That's what we're here for

(That's what we're here for)

And not to war

Bass



(Talkin' about freedom)

The rewards that we share will be based on what's fair

And not the curliness or the thick of our hair

Real competition, if you dare!

Music is our middle name

And we don't wanna play your game

So when the mergers you make are with us

And you take a fair slice of the cake

That we bake then you break

That would be real cool

But y'all wanna act like fools!

(What's up with that?)

Can't we all just get along?

And have peace, whoa oh

Peace

That's what we're here for

And not to war

Peace

Peace

Peace, whoa oh

Peace

That's what we're here for

And not to war



In case some of y'all didn't hear it right

I didn't call him, his name wasn't the artist

Artist, Artist

Artist - every syllable must be heard

Artist - formerly known as Prince

You got to get your peace in

Y'all tryin' to start something up in here
