Ain't no peace out in the streets
Said, ain't no peace out in the streets
Refuse to be defeated by enemies
Refuse to be mistreated by these police
'Cause ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Child of the ghetto, life ain't even fair
Born with an old soul, but ain't been nowhere
Seem too much than a child could bear
Searching for love when it's just not there
Ain't no peace out in the streets
Said, ain't no peace out in the streets
Refuse to be defeated by enemies
Refuse to be mistreated by these police
'Cause ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
So why me? Lord, tell me why me
I'm just tryin', just tryin' to provide for my family
So show me that sign, for I'm so blind
And I won't know it unless you show me outside this grind
'Cause ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
