Lyrics
Lyrics (Reconfigured for Sample-heavy, Chopped & Screwed Vocals):
(Intro - Heavy, processed drum break kicks in, layered with a funky, repeating guitar riff sample. Turntable scratches punctuate the beat. A distorted, short vocal sample like "Uh-huh!" or "Right now!" is chopped in.)
(Verse 1 - Rhythmic, almost spoken word, with vocal samples cutting in and out. Lyrics are short, punchy phrases.)
Yo, check the visual, see the cloud!
("Smoke!") Hear the sound, get loud!
Standing tough, gotta represent,
Voice on the track, the message is sent.
(Pre-Chorus - Vocals become slightly more melodic but still processed, building energy with a rising synth stab.)
Got the beats droppin', ain't no time to pause.
This vibe we're building, it defies the laws!
Yeah, this groove we're kickin', it defies the laws.
(Chorus - Explosive! Group shouts, heavy sampled drums, prominent funk bassline, a chopped horn section blast. "Peace" is elongated and chopped. Turntable scratches go wild.)
("What we need!?" - Group Shout) ONE THING!
PEACE! (Chopped & Screwed) GIVE PEACE A CHANCE! Let that funky-ass world SING!
("Break it down!") Yeah! We're amplified, makin' the speakers RING!
PEACE! (Processed Echo) GIVE PEACE A CHANCE! Let that whole damn world SING!
(Verse 2 - Similar rhythmic, almost spoken word delivery. More quirky vocal samples mixed in.)
Swap the bzzzt for the boom-bap sound.
Trade the conflict for common ground.
Never doubtin', we still believe,
Hand in hand, what we can achieve!
(Pre-Chorus - Rising energy again, more synth stabs, a classic Rhodes piano chord sample.)
Goggles up high, see the future's gleam.
Chasing shadows, livin' the dream!
Yeah, chasing shadows, livin' the dream!
(Chorus - Even more frantic! More aggressive scratches, louder horn blasts, slightly more distorted group shouts.)
("C'mon now!" - Group Shout) ONE THING!
PEACE! (Chopped & Screwed) GIVE PEACE A CHANCE! Let that funky-ass world SING!
("Hit it!") Yeah! We're amplified, makin' the speakers RING!
PEACE! (Processed Echo) GIVE PEACE A CHANCE! Let that whole damn world SING!
(Bridge - Beat might drop slightly, a more prominent, soulful sampled Rhodes piano riff. Spoken word becomes more reflective, but still defiant. Short, punchy sentences.)
Governments. Soldiers. Listen up, yo.
Take a minute. Let the tension go.
For the future. Build it right.
Make a choice. Own the light.
(Chorus - Maximum energy! All elements firing. Distorted vocal samples of "Peace!" over and over. Heavy, almost chaotic but still rhythmic.)
("Yo! What's up?!") ONE THING!
PEACE! (Chopped & Screwed, faster) GIVE PEACE A CHANCE! Let that funky-ass world SING!
("Yeah! Yeah!") We're amplified, makin' the speakers RING!
PEACE! (Screamed & Processed) GIVE PEACE A CHANCE! Let that whole damn world SING!
(Outro - Heavy, sustained drum break. Turntable solo with extreme scratches and record cuts. Horn stabs echo. Synth reverses. A final, distorted, almost garbled "P-E-A-C-E!" fades out with a resonant bass hum.)
