'Peace Not Greed'
by Kottonmouth KingsGood Evening, this is Los Angeles
Lonely teenage daydream
Of things I just might be
A surreal kind of thinking
Keeps on drifting in on me
My twisted body is lifeless
Not so their twisted minds
Peace through power their motto
Power for peace their crime
Product of our environment
Maybe one day they will legalize weed
In the year 2G the planet could be deceased
We plead to the fleas while we're beggin' on our knees
In our hometown Cali with bears and green trees
Birds and the bees, hot sand on the beach
Shells in the sea and I'm living in peace
Like a dog on a leash locked up with no keys
I gotta smoke undercover, motherfuck the police!
Yeah, see the magician pull the rabbit from the hat
The laws an illusion it's simple as that
Putting us in jail fronting us without a tax
I can see the wires in the levitating act
I can hear the lies and they're calling them facts
I can see the bars and they're lookin all cracked
I read between the lines but the lines are all crap
I can feel the knife turning in my back
How would life be if the world smoked weed
Guaranteed there'd be peace not greed
See, it's hell, living in a cell
Legalize the plant only time will tell
You are a sacred being of light
Projected into reality for a purpose
Demand the right to your moment
In this holographic gift with no rules, and no borders
Except for those who you choose to accept and live by
Abolish government means nothing to me
Forget about god, he's not here to see
We live by a system, a perfect mold
People perfect people who are poor and old
Lies were spent on a ladder of the sad
They said we're lookin for a method in this world
Presidents are named, Presidents are labeled
Highest man on the government table
America, land of the free
Free to the power of the people in uniform
How would life be if the world smoked weed
Guaranteed there'd be peace not greed
See, it's hell, living in a cell
Legalize the plant only time will tell
Society, fuck it, I've had enough
This system's full of crooks, straight up corrupt
You look like a decoy bobbin' like a duck
And your money says you're smokin on a BC Bluff
You're caught up in the headlights of my V-Dub bus
TSOL and the Kings about to even things up
Your birds will take all the air out the sky
Bring you down to our level
You can run, can't hide
Product of our environment
A lonely teenage daydream
Of things I just might be
A surreal kind of thinking
Keeps on drifting in on me
My twisted body is lifeless
Not so their twisted minds
Peace through power their motto
Power through peace their crime
The government keeps all control over the population
While the schools teach the kids restricted education
Murder, Rape, Sex, Underage prostitution
They got the war on pot, they got the wrong solution
I wake and I bake, nowhere to escape
Livin' life in a tank they invade my space
Betrayed full of hate while they're shootin' all blanks
Society's lost in a paranoid state
It's the illusion of ownership,
It's take what you can get
The banks are the loan sharks
And everyone's in debt
And if you get ahead how quickly you forget
You're hanging from a burning rope
Without a safety net
They tax you when you sell
They tax you when you buy
They take half when you live
Then they take half when you die
These are the lies that they are stating as facts
I can see the wires of the levitating act
How would life be if the world smoked weed
Guaranteed there'd be peace not greed
See, it's hell, living in a cell
Legalize the plant only time will tell
I'm glad that I can read
I'm glad that I can write
I read their fuckin' bullshit every single night
When off in my head went a little fuckin light
It told me what was wrong it told me what was right
World bank
Power and control
Issuing the money and they're dollin' out the roles
Charging what they want to with the money they control
Living in their nightmare
Giving them your soul!
First off, let me say that I'm sorry if the format of the lyrics is a bit off. Its the only correct version I could find and it was horribly formatted.
I think its pretty simple to see what this song is about. Its about how the world would be if everyone smoked weed (which is a step or two abobe legalizing it, lol). I don't think it would be a perfect world if everyone smoked weed, but I do think it would be much better.
I used to smoke marijuana regularly. I honestly believe that I still would today if not for its being illegal and my having a son to be there for.
I don't advocate the use of illegal substances but I DO advocate thinking for yourself.
At any rate, the song talks a lot about corruption in the government and corperate world etc. I have to agree with almost everything that this song has to say. Any time I'm in a very angry mood (anger directed at society, government, etc.) then this song is almost perfect to represent me. And even when I'm calm and mellow, I still believe in these things.
But I'm going to cut short the rest of the explanation in hopes that some of you will actually read the lyrics and think about when they say. And while you're at it, buy this CD or download the song! You won't regret it!
