lyrics

(Verse)
Growing up I never thought that I could make this happen.
Making it from music, or that I would take up rapping.
I just liked to bang on things and sing a little too.
Dance and move and shake my thing when I felt the groove.
Dancing in my chair, hands in the air.
Don't have a care, I'm just doing my own thing.
Peace to everywhere, making people care.
When love is in the air, then joy with it will bring

And people they will sing

Then joy with it will bring

The people they will sing

Peace to everyone, we're just children of the sun,
tell me why you need a gun to kill your family?
Live for number one not like you're the only one,
I'm not talking to your son, but the whole family.
When will we see, can't keep killing over "peace"
living life like a movie, you sit back and take a seat.
Watch it fly by like a drive by, as life plays on stay sky high.
I tried you tried, why cry? Just move on with our life and lets ride.
My hands are on the wheel and you're gripping on the steel,
please let's make a deal let me teach you bout the real.
Lies you must realise truth in disguise. Right before your eyes
Let us tell you bout our life.
Back in the days when I was a teenager,
had a cell phone early but I never had a pager.
Used to spin on everything, vinyl to linoleum.
Write my name with anything, Griffin to Rust-Oleum .
Spot lies as teachers told em,
called bluss like Texas Holdem,
passed class and I was golden,
but then I chose to fold em.
I went my own way.
I turned out okay.
Try life your own way.
Don't just listen to what I say, but know you'll turn out great.
But never give up learning.
You've got to keep on searching.
Respect the world you live in,
and people that's a given,
you've got to love your brethren
you've got to love your brethren
you've got to love your brethren
you've got to love your brethren

And people they will sing...
