Convict, convict, convict...
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout
That's, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout
Hey, hey, hey (that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
That's, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout

Ain't no peace
Out in these streets
Said ain't no peace
Out in these streets

Refuse to be defeated
By enemies (that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
That's, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout
Refuse to be mistreated
By these police (that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
That's, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout

'Cause ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace

Shout in the ghetto
Life ain't been fair
Born with an old soul
But ain't been no where
Seen too much
Than a child could bear
Searching for love
When it's just not there, oh

Ain't no peace
Out in these streets
Said ain't no peace
Out in these streets

Refuse to be defeated
By enemies (that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
That's, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout
Refuse to be mistreated
By these police (that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
That's, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout

'Cause ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace
Ain't no peace

So why me?
Lord, tell me, why me?
I'm just tryin', just tryin'
To provide for my family
So show me that sign
For I'm so blind
And I won't know it
Unless you show me
Outside this grind

Hey
'Cause ain't no peace (that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
Ain't no peace (that's, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
Ain't no peace (that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
Ain't no peace (that's, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
Ain't no peace (that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
Ain't no peace (that's, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
Ain't no peace
