lyrics

Build Not Battle

"we conversate , contemplate ,see love dont wait and love dont hate

Speak from ya heart and take a deep breath

Lets come to an understanding and stick to our planning

In so many ways we communicate to keep our frequency tight

On ya darkest days you can use this as ya light

We eye to eye cussing and fussin

When emotions take over just dead the disscussion!

Somebody bound to say something...

See, words so powerful like my classic quotes

When we sit down and talk it sound like classic beautiful music notes...

The keys to peace , listening to each and every word

Its nobody's business but guess what I heard

We gone build not battle

Cause all that is is just a waste of time, if it take ten hours or ten minutes just speak your mind

And be civilized then keep it movin

Everybody so quick to fight then get to shootin

We stop talking to our neighbors and keeping up with fam

Who else you gone call you can't trust your fake friends

I see'em puttin on that face , thats what it take to stay alive

People don't even speak , say 'peace', or say 'HI , how ya doin'?

But everybody looking around at our community ruined

Then niggas get on the mic and spit a fantasy killer life

Maybe im talking to a wall , or maybe im talkin to my brothers

They let me one ear , then I drop some jewles before I come out the other

We gone build not battle

And its a pleasure to meet you too we can start this off right

I translate ,intrepretate, state my case by the look on my face

6 degress all of a sudden turn to 3 when your ideas are expressed to me

Taking over the table and family meetings

Soaking up game from the elders , and OGs , then pass it to the young seeds

Mind detect mind , if you great we probably think alike, some things better not brought to light

Just pay attention to the wisdom, the tradition in my dna

Rythmn and poetry , bringing things to life

I buss for therapy and cuss for clarity

And all we gotta do is unite, unite, unite, yea

We gone build not battle
