Lyrics:

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
