- Meaning
[Intro: Shaggy]
Now I can think of
There be no peace in the east
[Verse 1: Dave East & Shaggy]
A hundred shots
Sometimes we wanna roll, sometimes we wanna rock (Yeah, boom-boom-boom-boom)
Bullets hit him pon his top
My own smoke, a bunch of Glocks (Shoot him)
Rolling up the ganja dem, thug life like Pac and nem (Thug life)
Badman no chat with them (Badman)
Fifty shot, me walkin' 'em
Damn, niggas tryna stick me for my dollar bills (Yeah)
Understand you hype, but ma, you gotta chill (Chill), they watchin' still (Still)
DEA on my D-I-C, ven aqui
Can I speak about retreats on foreign land, exotic suites? (Yeah)
Elevators to the kitchen, chef from Kingstown (Huh)
Million dollar deals is all I'm thinking
She look Black, but she Belizean (Belizean, yeah)
He was selling product until they shot him for no reason (Boom)
If the cops don't catch you speedin', pray your opps will never leave you (Oh, yeah)
Never stretch you, someone test you, stick with God, He undefeated (Oh, yeah)
A bunch of stars in different cars, a hundred broads that I could sleep with
A couple spirits got my back, it ain't no stoppin' us
The Rollie presidential, but I ain't got no time to politic
[Chorus: Shaggy]
Dem cyaan hold we
None of dem pussy they cyaan hold we
Dem cyaan control we
Pussy dem cyaan control us
Dem cyaan hold we, no (Dem cyaan hold we, no)
Dem cyaan hold we, no (Dem cyaan hold we, no)
Ain't no peace with the east (No peace with the east)
Ain't no peace with the east (No peace with the east)
[Verse 2: Shaggy]
Mi ah di hitmaker, none ah mi song mi ah miss
Nuh haffi roll with a army, still yuh fi know seh mi nah tek no diss

[Verse 3: Dave East & Shaggy]
They been taking pictures of me lately, I'm a target (Target, yeah)
I could hear my father every time I walk through Harlem (Pops)
Me and Bully hit the highway just to get it started (Start)
A million dollars later, still get my boxers from Target (Word)
Dirty money, only stay dirty until you wash it (Dirty)
Invest in something legal, thought 'bout that in my apartment
Impala from the auction, think I might have paid a grand for it
China white plates in Auntie kitchen, we put grams on it
Said it so I stand on it (Stand on it)
Murda dem, violate, we service them (Murda dem)
Audacity, the nerve of them
Act like I don't deserve the win
Love you for the moment, then the hate come out (You see it)
Watch how sick they get, you park a Lambo or the Wraith come out
I walk through the trenches, sat on benches, all my chains was out (All my chains)
Drugs and money, just be careful, know that that's a dangerous route (Danger)
A lot of us won't make it out
They watch your every move, learn how to fake 'em out (Fake 'em out)
Got nigga doin' life, ain't get to live, wish I could break 'em out
[Chorus: Shaggy]
Dem cyaan hold we
None of dem pussy they cyaan hold we
Dem cyaan control we
Pussy dem cyaan control us
Dem cyaan hold we, no (Dem cyaan hold we, no)
Dem cyaan hold we, no (Dem cyaan hold we, no)
Ain't no peace with the east (No peace with the east)
Ain't no peace with the east (No peace with the east)
