Steel and Olive

Intro

Street ties, city cries, every night's a war

Some want peace, some cock hammers, knocking on doors

Verse 1

Got triggers in the glovebox, praying for a ceasefire

Little homie faced the judge, all because the streets wired

Spin the block for survival, ain't proud what we become

Peace signs on the corner, but they always clutching guns

Bullets in the playground, mothers still awake

Trying to dream of heaven, when you waking to the hate

Tattered flags waving, blood stains in the cracks

Police sirens singing, but the hope fights back

Chorus

Guns and peace, war in the mind, searching for a way out

Shadows move, voices in the night, shouting when the pain loud

Lost in the crossfire, can we ever be free?

All my brothers screaming, fighting for some peace

Verse 2

Self-made coffin makers, they hustle for a buck

But every alley whispers, yo, the system got us stuck

Kid with a notebook, writes dreams under streetlights

Gang tags on his jacket, tryna dodge them street fights

Vets on the corner, hide their scars in the smoke

Rally for the peace, still the barrel ain’t broke

Laws come and go, but the fear always stays

It's hearts versus hardware, hope trapped in a cage

Chorus

Guns and peace, war in the mind, searching for a way out

Shadows move, voices in the night, shouting when the pain loud

Lost in the crossfire, can we ever be free?

All my brothers screaming, fighting for some peace

Bridge

Locked doors, heavy thoughts, pressure never ends

Loaded up resentment, call it just a trend

Tired of the cycle, tired of the threats

Dreams stained by gun smoke, we drowning in the depths

Peace on a mural, names written in chalk

Too many brothers gone, block shadows when I walk

Struggling for daylight, wishing for a truce

But this street only teaches how to win or lose

Chorus

Guns and peace, war in the mind, searching for a way out

Shadows move, voices in the night, shouting when the pain loud

Lost in the crossfire, can we ever be free?

All my brothers screaming, fighting for some peace

Outro

Raise fists to the sky, tears in the rain

Another sunrise, but we carry all the pain

Balance on the edge, praying for release

It's chaos in my soul, trapped between guns and peace
