Every million miles ya haffe tek a first step
Because nothin' in the world is impossible to me
So he hopped into my ride on the squeaky door side and
But I don't act peaceful if you're not that way to me

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
I said, a piece of peace for you, and a piece of peace for me
The people in the house was shakin' up their derrier
A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see

And anyone who does is really, really whack
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step

'Cuz waitin' at the crib can make you feel shitty
We're matchin' up the footsteps
And the spice for the brain is the essence of the lyrics
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
So fuck the police, we can keep the peace

A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see
I can swim on dry land and run upon the sea

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
Five O was outside waitin' with their vans

He said there isn't any cover if you're keepin' up the vibe
Like Carnivale in Rio
And nothin' in the world is impossible to me
I called my man Zulu, said, "Meet me on the corner"
Money should've spent on somethin' for community
A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see
The man at the door invited us inside
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
Hopin' that shit would get outta hand
A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see
And if you comin' late then you might've missed some a this
Cuba, Twist, Reminisce and NME
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
Even the elders in the house was havin' fun
Had the groovers groovin'
A piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me
I said, a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
Spiritual and functional
But I don't act peaceful if you're not that way to me
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
So long, farewell, alveerdersain, adieau to you
I said, a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
We took it upstairs to big up the area

Well, songs can be delicious and also be nutritious
So a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me
A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see
A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see
Funky good time we had here in fronta you

So a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
'Cuz when the beat hits, you feel no pain

Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see
She'll beat up the beats with and eggbeater, pour em in the batter
And all the movers movin'
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
We hit the upper room where they keep the funk alive
Because we livin' life at the top of our lungs
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
Had the world's greatest time
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
'Cuz food for the soul is the flavor of the music
Every million miles ya haffe tek a first step
I said, a piece of peace for you, and a piece of peace for me
To Morrie Povich or anyone like that
The Charlie Hunter trio
A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see
Raisin' up their hands and raisin' up their voices
My favorite record sounds like an African head charge
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
I said, a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me

I said, a piece of peace for you, and a piece of peace for me
The decadence is gone and life may never be the same
You can't pay for culture', it can only be experienced

The high tech shit costin' million and millions
We'd never sell the movie rights

I was sick of flippin' channels, and sick of flippin' quarters

Maybe we can check out the clubs in the city
Said if the funk is on time
I said, a piece of peace for you, and a piece of peace for me
Say, every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step

We fish or cut bait and we're not takin' prisoners
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
A piece of peace for every peaceful person that you see
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
Tokes was the DJ I was happy with his choices
Say, every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
But I don't act peaceful if you're not that way to me
Graffiti on the street for everyone to see
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
You can chop off my legs and I'll land upon my feet
Maxin' and mixin' the beats they was fixin'

I said, a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me

We can make love and conquer that disease
It was truly a life celebration that night
My brain like a smoke that was doubly, triply, dope
Boom! Boom! Boom, well have you ever been experienced?

She'll make 'em sound fatter and fatter
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
So dat they could test their weapons on innocent civilians
Every million mile ya haffe tek a first step
I said, a piece of peace for you, a piece of peace for me
Then we call it punctual
But that's okay because we got the unity
I turn it over to the spirit and I leave her in charge
