Peace Treaty - Kam
Hittin' corners in a six trey Chevrolet rag top Impala, top dollar Got my cousin laid back ridin' shotgun 'Cause I got the front and back hydraulic hot one Juiced up, and I'm itchin' to hit the switches Crawlin' over train tracks, avoidin' all ditches Ice skatin' on the 20 inch tires Jack up the ass, and flex the gold Dayton wires Now I'm down to take a risk, gettin' geeked up off a compact disc I went hoppin' up crenshaw, niggas hang loose Lookin' for my homies to celebrate the gang truce And they about to throw a cook out So I'm puttin' down the hump, we sailin' on the look out For C H P, I was a teenage gee So I'm readin' a graffiti the walls say, "Peace treaty" Lookin' at the aftermath of the riot I can still smell the ashes from all the clashes But quiet is kept, it wasn't just the blacks Everybody was lootin', and had each other's backs We came through in understandin', demandin' Justice, bust this, we all had our hand in The cookie jar, took it far enough to make a statement Daryl Gates, that's where all the hate went we pass by a swap meet Been shoppin' at for years, but it couldn't stop heat See ya, wouldn't wanna be your next door neighbor Less government relief checks, more labor 10 percent blood suckers of the poor took a loss For exploitation, had to show 'em who was boss Teach 'em not to be so greedy had to shut 'em down Bound by a peace treaty, bound by a peace treaty Hit the park, bailed out the car And seen blue and red everywhere, look how strong we are Niggas showin' up from this gang and that gang Nobody set-trippin', 'cause it's a black thing People just partyin', sippin' on a cup Some of the Compton F.O.I. even showed up Suited and booted, kickin' it with the locs In unity, soon we'll be lovin' all black folks I heard Solo, bumpin' in a Blazer Clownin' on a car phone, blowin' up my pager Watts-Up is on the set just checkin' out the scenery Brothers I ain't never met is hittin' me up, I had to swallow my pride Just kept steppin', hit em up and said, "Right" Ain't no drama, 'cause I'm mobbin' with Laid-Back I seen Big Jess, Jay and K-Mac they used to work them narcotics Like my nigga L-Wood and Renegade from the street products We used to jack from the rich, and then give to the needy But now it's a peace treaty And now the party's acceleratin' The whole crowd bounce, and sho' nuff' celebratin' Ain't nobody bustin' shots I bumped into Mike A K A Mo' Like Watts and O.G., 'cause he's older Lovin' every minute of it, with the camcorder on his shoulder So he could capture the moment, and reminisce I'm a always remember this Because my niggas made the history books And now the mystery looks a lot clearer The man in the mirror got power it's now or never More than ever black people have to stick together But yo, let's hear it for the Bloods and the Crips I got to admit it y'all brothers did it I just hope it don't cease For the sake of all the homies that's restin' in peace
