Ain't no peace out in these streets
Said ain't no peace out in these 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

Shoutout to 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 these streets
Said ain't no peace out in these 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
