A Pause for Peace
Harmony Amid Struggle: A Pause for Unity
Lyrics
Yeah, take a pause for peace
Expressing the need to stop and reflect on the concept of peace.
Time to take a pause for peace
Reiterating the call for a break to contemplate and pursue peace.
Everybody feel me
Encouraging everyone to understand or resonate with the message.
My sisters and brothers
Acknowledging and addressing the audience as siblings.
My fathers and mothers
Acknowledging and addressing the audience as parents.
Best friends and lovers
Acknowledging and addressing the audience as best friends and lovers.
Everybody needs each other
Stressing the interdependence of everyone on each other.
They tryna lock me up and throw away the key
Expressing a threat of imprisonment and harsh punishment.
They wanna see a nigga six feet deep
Referring to a desire for harm or death to the speaker.
Over populated penitentiaries
Highlighting the issue of overcrowded prisons.
They just gave a nigga where I'm from about a century
Indicating a long prison sentence for someone from the speaker's background.
If I could just explain, you would feel my pain
Expressing a desire to explain the speaker's situation and emotions.
Maybe I'm in insane
Suggesting a potential questioning of the speaker's mental state.
What they sayin', so what
Dismissively responding to criticism or negative opinions.
No I ain't a saint, I'm a growing man
Asserting the speaker's status as a developing individual.
Learning everyday, I made mistakes
Acknowledging personal growth and learning from mistakes.
So what
Reiterating a dismissive attitude towards judgment.
If I could just explain, you would feel my pain
Repeating the desire to explain the speaker's emotional state.
Maybe I'm in insane
Suggesting a potential questioning of the speaker's mental state (repeated).
What they sayin', so what
Repeating a dismissive response to criticism (repeated).
No I ain't a saint, I'm a growing man
Repeating the assertion of the speaker's developmental stage.
Learning everyday, I made mistakes
Repeating the acknowledgment of personal growth and learning.
So what, so what, so what, so what, so what, so what
Repeating a dismissive attitude towards judgment (repeated).
Yeah, take a pause for peace
Reiterating the need to pause and reflect on peace.
Time to take a pause for peace
Emphasizing the urgency of taking a break for peace.
Everybody
Encouraging universal participation in the call for peace.
