Im hearing voices in my mind Telling me to grab the 9 Run up on him quick And put it to his spine Im out here struggling Trying to get myself a plate Barely eating out of state Homey grab me an 1/8 Trying to escape Feeling lost in this hell Can you relate to getting Tossed in a cell Without a dime A lot of times We turn to crime Feeling desperate and broke When all we need Is a lot less stress And some hope So where's the peace And can I get me a slice You aint never been successful Wanna give me advice No looking back Im cooking raps on the couch Feeling down Cuz I know i'm better Than 1/2 that's out Getting heard I'm giving words For a couple of reasons 1st the therapy it provides My mind when the seasons Fluctuate Plus you ate it When I fed ya open mouths Me joke around I never do Slow that down I told you pal We not a town It's the city Go Ill Flow filled the void Them boys is road kill Hold still with that hate homey Pause that doubt Lemme show you What I'm talking about I show and prove Knowing dues gotta be paid I humbly grind Thanking God for beautiful souls On this ugly climb I know the beast wont cease Straight devouring the streets But still I gotta ask yal Where's the peace Where's the peace I wanna see it in the sky Where's the peace Go 'head Put it in the sky Tell me where it is The love We all want peace and love Tell me Now tell me what it look like When we're locked up again Locked up again Prison, parole, pen Sending men to their death I wish it would all end But brothers in hell Wish for ice water and gin Spend the 1st lil cash we get On spinning rims That's reflective of a life We running in place with Chasing incarceration With a knife like Jason Pretend like this justice system Aint racist I was stopped For going "blrrrrt" to a cop I was clean but got locked Cuz the copper was hot Said he was at a traffic stop And I disrupted the scene But I know he messed with me Cuz I was a young B-R-O-W-N They trouble you man And make it real tough For you to hug with ya kin Cuz they like that When they control A brother's liberty They break that same brother down Physically and mentally Now I aint saying I aint in control Of my own Cuz I know, I know I know I gotta act grown And not give 'em the chance To lock and throw away the key Cuz freedom aint free It costs a pretty penny g Tell me where it is The love We all want peace and love Tell me Where's the peace I wanna see it in the sky Where's the peace Go 'head Put it in the sky

about

Longshot + Lazerbeak have teamed up once again to bring us all a little bit closer with their sophomore collaborative album Spread Love. The follow-up to 2018's Parades finds the duo more polished and focused with their sound and message. Spread Love is a little bit pop mixed in with boom bap, and flavored with a soul sound not commonly found in todays music. Longshot + Lazerbeak's chemistry is palpable throughout the album and is only getting better with each release.

On first single "Where's The Peace?" Longshot's lyrics speak of the everlasting hope for equality and love for all people. Guest vocalist Kat Luna's angelic voice perfectly blends with Shot's message over crunchy drums and boisterous horns laced by veteran producer Lazerbeak. "Where's The Peace" is available now on all streaming platforms and the entire Spread Love album will be released on November 5th, 2021. Enjoy.
