Iman Omari
The Peace Recipe
[Verse I]
Everybody's tryna mess with the cool kids
They be forgetting that they own uniqueness
It's there, how could you miss?
I was always an outcast
I never wanna get mistaken
On some Liam Neeson
My pride ain't Taken
Even when I was all "Salaam-Alaikum"
Even though I'm Christian
Well it's kinda rocky
But the point is I was always tryna spread peace
The point is I was always tryna turn a new leaf
Then I realised the point is I think I'm just different
Then I realised
Well, I've always been different

[Verse II]
I think that life in itself doesn't make sense
I think that trying to understand is at your expense
Automatically, I think too deeply
To live and to die could make me weepy
The reason that I'm living is to give off something
Didn't know what it was
Even when y'all was bugging
Take my kindness for dumb ish
Y'all was tryna mess with Jabari into nothingness
Well.. Hold up
You ever heard of an Indigo?
Not the colour, a character with a different flow
Think I've said this before
So lemme keep it pushing
Cause there's a lot of other things that I be overlooking
Fact of the matter is? Now I know my place
You're gonna figure it out, maybe one day
So when I was getting the knife in the back
They mistook me for a human with some confidence lacked
My level of consciousness 'llowed it to bounce off
Cause on a level, I know that I really could've popped off
But I am such a nice guy, run through a field with my socks off
While y'all was buying brands, I just wore my old knock offs
I keep it moving, that's the path straight to peace man
This the recipe of peace
The Peace Recipe
I move like the flow can
I just go with the wind
I'll take you to Neverland, call me Peter Pan
Cool your mind, bury your feet in the sand
Now let's get personal

[Verse III]
Ayo shout out to my old girl Sheiva
Life is crazy, it's been long since I've seen ya
There was a lot of misunderstandings
If you got hurt, that was not my intention
But now? Now we progressing
Some of your old friends used to throw shade
Outta nowhere, I was pure back in the days
This is still what I say
When it gets hard, I just be chilling
Talking to Tobi and Tony while sipping on some cold lemonade
Those were days that I will not forget
There was not one thing I can say I regret
Other than the fact that we may have argued
The controversy of this topic may be a handful
But hell, I don't really care no more
This is my life, when I talk, I explore
That's the pathway to peace
You gotta learn something
Or all the things you've done, they would amount to nothing
This is kinda how life goes
No matter what bad things you've experienced, there's always a way to turn your life as bright as a rose
Life has got me singing
[Bridge]
This generation's one we need to try and change
They think I'm tripping but we chilling still behind our range
We need to stand up, deal with what we struggling with now
Then come together, put our fists up and let out a growl

[Verse IV]
I know it sounds crazy
But I'd rather stand up than be lazy
You reminiscing about how you used to be free
Believe me, we gon' make it with the dignity
I know it sounds crazy
This is how I feel on a daily
Stand tall, young
We can chill in the fields tonight
Then I'll teach you how spread y'all wings and fly
