chorus:
I'm searchin, searchin for the peace inside....

Lynx:
I’m searchin for the piece inside I can’t hide
Forever inside these walls were I reside
Sunlight in the window, wakin me up
beautiful blue skies shakin me up
but here on this earth where the beat is breakin
I find myself trapped by my occupation
Scrambling for money, pinchin those pennies
poor folks beg for change but I don’t have any
I can’t change this world alone, that’s how it is
But we’ve gotta make a change for the sake of our kids
And I could live in this world, I know that I could make it
But I can’t live with this world, and I refuse to fake it
So I take it one step at a time and write rhymes
To try to undermine this oppressive paradigm
Cuz NOW is the time, so I’m spittin thought crime
Cuz the only piece I find is the piece inside my mind
