DESCRIPTION:
CEASEFIRE is about gun violence, and violence against people of color — how we got ourselves into this epidemic, and how we might get ourselves out.

LYRICS:

Got a heart done drown in a thousand rivers
Thousand years of a thousand winters
Thousand tears of blood and cinders
For a thousand brothers and sisters

St. Lou rain down in poundin' sheets
Hound dogs howlin' in the Shaolin streets
In Charleston heat they weepin’ and moan
and Orlando been brought down low

Hey man, I don't know how to save my soul
When you got me in a chokehold!


Can I get a CEASEFIRE, buddy (x3)
Yeah a little bitta CEASEFIRE, buddy (x3)
Hey, we need a CEASEFIRE
Hands up hundred feet high
Ain't gettin' any peace til the CEASEFIRE, buddy


Can I get a little CEASEFIRE
Set a peace fire
Like spreading kerosene on a grease fire
Instead of playing a role
Politicians stickin' flag pins into bullet holes

Where can a young man run?
Where'd the damn gun in your hand come from?

From Africa to Boston Massacre to Selma
Attica to Staten Island down to Carolina
It's the same old song
Someone gotta stand up strong!


Can I get a CEASEFIRE, buddy (x3)
Yeah a little bitta CEASEFIRE, buddy (x3)
Hey, we need a CEASEFIRE
Hands up hundred feet high
Ain't gettin' any peace til the CEASEFIRE, buddy


Now's about time that LOVE gets a mention
LOVE is the question
LOVE is a constant invention
The pain and the path and the power of redemption
Love jumps fences
The price and the priceless
Love is relentless
Love is stronger than the 2nd Amendment
Y'all it may sound funny
But Love is the ceasefire, honey


Can I get a CEASEFIRE, buddy (x3)
Yeah a little bitta CEASEFIRE, buddy (x3)
Hey, we need a CEASEFIRE
Hands up hundred feet high
Ain't gettin' any peace til the CEASEFIRE, buddy
