Put the peace sign up!
Put the peace sign up!
Put the peace sign up!
What happened to peace?
Everybody wanna fight
in the name of being right,
but how many people gonna die tonight?
Whose culture is the best?
East vs west
When both should mesh
and respect the Architect
'cause in the very end
whose really gonna win?
With all these people dying
World leaders lying
democracies spying
with drones, tapping phones
Most police and citizens
just wanna go home
At the end of the day
but not if the instigators have their way
So the best we could do is stand for peace and pray!
In the army of peace, you must enlist
and tell the establishment, we must co-exist!
What happened to peace?
Put the peace sign up!
Put the peace sign up!
Put the peace sign up!
We hate each other 'cause you're white and I'm black
when you really look at it how ignant is that?
You got personal problems
with your government
but what you ignore cognitive dissonance
So you point the finger, you scape goat
Where's your heart, your soul, your hope?
are you doing anything for peace? Nope.
What happened to peace?
Put the peace sign up!
Put the peace sign up!
Put the peace sign up!
Co-exist
Both sides are dropping bombs
guerillas in the midst
even aliens can't tell,
which ones the terrorist
hiding behind religion and democracy
stealing natural resources by crushing sovereignty
I'm for self-defence
and yearning to be free,
but don't get pimped
by a hidden entity
What happened to peace?
We must co-exist!
Put the peace sign up!
Put the peace sign up!
Put the peace sign up!
Put the peace sign up!
Put the peace sign up!

Lyrics and music by Kamal Imani
In light of recent and current national and world events we the people must find new ways of encouraging the governments to try peace and diplomacy!
Conscious hip hop lyricist and spoken word performance poet Kamal Eman, AKA Kamal Imani tells us to "Put The Peace Sign Up" as he breaks down the problems and solutions for our world with this Arabic laced hip hop track!
“I was reading Sufism and it was talking about peace being the more intelligent remedy than violence. This is right after the bombings in Paris. I had to put it down for the people seen?”
