Give Me Peace
J. Cole

Hook:
Every moment feels like a fight, I’m searching for release,
Endless waves crashing down, but I’m up for my peace.
Always rising from the darkness, light shining in the seams,
Elevate my mind, no more chasing shattered dreams.

Verse 1:
Ain't nobody talking 'bout the battles in my head,
Every night I'm wrestling with the words I never said.
I dive deep in oceans filled with fears I can’t embrace,
Eager to discover, searching wide for open space.

Underneath the surface, I just long for calm seas,
Emotions swirling 'round like leaves caught in the breeze.
I pray for moments quiet, a chance to breathe it in,
Ain't it ironic, this war that I can't seem to win?

Chasing peace but running circles, caught in my own chain,
Every step I take feels like a dance with my pain.
I whisper softly to the moon, can you hear my plea?
Exploding in the silence, just give me peace, set me free.

Verse 2:
Outrage in my heart, and I’m looking for the light,
Every corner of my mind is a stage for this fight.
Extra cautious with my feelings, they too fragile to break,
Elevating every moment, even when I feel fake.

I’m breaking down walls, trying not to cave in,
Elusive as a shadow, peace feels so far from thin.
And yet, I’m on a journey, searching for the signs,
Echoes of my spirit whispering that all will be fine.

Ain't pride the enemy, when it stands in your way?
Embracing the uncertain, only God knows what to say.
Empowered by the struggle, I’m learning to release,
Endlessly I’m striving, don’t stop until I seize.

Every moment feels like a fight, I’m searching for release,
Endless waves crashing down, but I’m up for my peace.
Always rising from the darkness, light shining in the seams,
Elevate my mind, no more chasing shattered dreams.
