Lyrics This Is Not a War - AJJ

This is not a war, it's a conversation about what people really need
Fear is a poison, it breeds violence and apathy and greed
So people occupy the streets
So they can occupy the hearts of the fearful
This is not a war, it's a conversation about what people really need
This is not a movement, it's a body's immune system reacting to a disease
It's been trying to cure cancer with echinacea, Vitamin C and lots of sleep
Now the tumor got so big
That the blood cells have started to speak
This is not a movement, it's a body's immune system reacting to a disease
This is not a protest, it's a tortoise slowly pushing through a race
I hope the tortoise keeps its patience while the hair continues to pepper spray its face
Unconditional positive regard to the ones who hurt you
They're just scared
This is not a protest, it's a tortoise slowly pushing through a race
There is no enemy there's only people that also love their families
And they're scared that they won't have enough long after they are deceased
But how much money do they need?
Love turns into fear, and fear turns into greed
There is no enemy there's only dummies that also love their families
And this is not a phase, it's just a matter of time
With diligence and peacefulness, you will reach them, you will change their minds
If you stay there long enough they'll start to see you
If you stay there long enough they'll start to hear you
If you stay there long enough they'll stop trying to hurt you
If you stay there long enough they'll understand you
If you stay there long enough they will believe you
If you stay there long enough they will work with you
Because this is not a war, it's a conversation about what people really need
